Don't you dare get out of that line VA. Dont Give UP!!! We NEED You!!!
-Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Stay in line and cast that vote. You'll always be able to say you were there, you took part, you made a difference! You can keep the ignorance like the last two posts out of our government.

Come on people vote

Stay in line and cast that vote. You'll always be able to say you were there, you took part, you made a difference!

The coming of Obama as president of the United States clearly defines the second coming of Jesus Christ. The world needs PEACE and I personnally see Obama as God Sent to deliver it's people-be it black nor white. So BRAVO to all Americans and all who support CHANGE in America.
Theo (Ontario Canada)

I'm watching the numbers, and I'm thinking-"What happened to those three hour lines?"
Do the polls close before everyone gets a chance to vote?
Are the polls really closed?
How can this be?
Did EVERY ONE of those individuals get a chance to vote, are were they turned away just because the polls closed?

Even though I'm not an American, but my vote would be for Mr. Obama. As for the long wait time to vote, just shows how many more people came out to vote this time around. You do care about your country.Good luck!

Anyone with sense should have voted for Barack Obama today.....not because he's black, but because he is exactly what America represents-diversity meets adversity meets success! You McCain supporters may have to read that one a few times for understanding.......

To Flossie, Well said.

obama is NOT a socialist....i am so tired of the uneducated individuals who continue to believe this ridiculous idea plantd by the mccain camp. if you truly understood the political economy system structures of capitalism, socialism, and communism you would KNOW that it is impossible for obama to be a socialist and further impossible for the united states to enter into a socialist phase...

educate yourselves before making ignorant comments.

Obama for the win in Virginia!

Let's be some of the first to say we need a CHANGE!

And by that, I mean let's get Wolf out, too!

anyone who voted for mccain should just stop and think if you want mccain meeting with heads of state rolling his eyes stomping on the floor and lieing through his teeth and looking like he is desperate for the white house. he carried kentucky there when reagen made an anouncement that his pappy was from a long line of kkk kluckers. so who cares for this silly little man

griff: it is racist pigheaded people like you that hold back this country from moving forward and becoming one. i am a white female and i personally am offended by your comments. it is people like you that make it an embarressment to be white. god made us all we all bleed red and all have emotions despite our skin color we all have loved and lost all have faced our own trials in life, maybe you need to grow a back bone like obama has. try standing up for all people no matter what color their skin may be.

MAKE VIRGINIA BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO ABAMA, FROM CANADA

I am sick of hearing people saying the best hour and a half they have ever spent was in line to vote. My best four hours in line was waiting to buy an American flag with my one year old daughter the day after 9/11. I was proud to wait in that line – unfortunately it was because Clinton, a democrat, let Osama bin Laden free to terrorize our country. I'm scared to death to know what's going to happen if Obama wins the election.

All the electorial fuel of ringing must be out numbered by natural laws that guide the principle of presidential election in this presidential election. John mchain will soon address Obama my dear President. This statement is not just a history but the vision the democrats saw before the republica.

I like John Mchain but my vote likes Obama for the direction of my positive change. And my political direction is the life of my future generation.

Vote capitalism (McCain), not socialism (Obama)!

I voted for OJ Simpson. I hated both of the candidates so I put "OJ Simpson, Rep. of FL." down in the entry blank.

Are there still voters in line in some precincts in VA? Are State results released county or precinct by precinct?

BLUE

Don't worry Obama people. The awesome souls in NOVA will save us from the rest or the toothpick chompin' regions. Believe it!! Also hoping Hampton Roads goes that way to!!

GO Barack & Joe!!!!!

I'm happy to report that there essentially was no line when I voted today at 10am in Fairfax, VA. I even went back 15 mins later with a friend so she could vote. She had only 3 people waiting before her when we arrived. Apparently over 50% of the precinct had voted by the time we arrived.

Ron - which American's 'looking for a handout' received any of the billion$bailout?

Something is wrong in VI......the voting is not right....If democrat winning in senate...why is the president democrate is losing...it don't make sense.

Republicans stole the elections? Really? Come on, grow up and ditch the sour grapes. Some years a Republican wins, some years a Democrat wins. If you can be a bipartisan adult, maybe you will recognize some good and bad in all candidates. Nobody is perfect. All we can do is cast our vote and hope we pick the right person. Leave the personal slams to yourself. Being black or white should have nothing to do with it, nor should age or sex. And really, who the last president was doesn't matter either. It is irrelevant and in the past. Move on folks. Just be a proud american, exercise your right to vote, then have the decency to be an adult about it and try to support the winning candidate, even if it wasn't your first choice.

I waited in line for 6 hrs to have my voice heard. I hope and pray that Obama wins!!! virginia needs this change and to get off of the Repblican train it has riding for too long.

McCain/Palin 08'!!!!!!!!!! People please save our country from the DEMS!!!! Socialism will dominate this country if OBAMA wins.

I am sorry to see that many of you seem to be deluded by Obama ,
He wants to change alright,You dont know the extreme changes he would make and there would no hope.
I am sure you will see this shortly

Griff is a moron,pay him no mind...

Virginia thanks the other statesmen for the encouragement. Not to worry...we are as desperate for change as the majority of Americans. As indicative it is, of the desire for change, record voter turnout, is more indicative of how large a gap exists, between wealthy elitists and the disadvantaged majority. Although from reading these postings, it seems the next great mission of this nation should be to provide an education on independent thinking.

lets keep this a red state. keep votin McCain.

Stick in in Virgina. Obama and Biden need your votes!

Obama is the only one that will build us " the bridge to the future."
McCain and Palin still hasn't a clue about the path that we need to get on to make this awesome county on the right road.
McCain wil build us the "the bridge to nowhere".
Obama will see us through! WE need Obama!

Four to seven hours standing in line to vote??!! There's no excuse for that, our electoral process is clearly in need of a major overhaul.

Staying in line is worth the vote.

Obama/Biden 08

Please do not become discouraged and wait on line to vote. As an immigrant, woman, Christian, Soldier, and a US citizen it's imperative to excercise your right to vote. People have died for this right. I am proud to serve and to vote for Obama. I am putting country first by selecting the best person for the job.

I never understand why these urban areas never get nearly enough machines, whereas in rural Ohio, where I just voted, I just strolled in and voted without even waiting in line. Doesn't the poor distribution of these machines blatantly favor rural Republican areas over urban Democratic areas?

Griff your comment got my attention: "The Black-Man is History1 For one simple reason....". You must be a racist moron. Obama first of all is bi-racial and comfortable with that reality just like myself. He will make a fine President so take a SIU (suck it up) pill and enjoy the ride.

Griff–
I've seen your incoherent rambling on these posts for months. I cannot understand why CNN let's your posts on while filtering out more intelligent ones.
Dude, go take your medicine. Obama is a better candidate, he will make a better President. He is not perfect but I believe he will steer this country away from the mess Bush and his minions have made.

End of story.

STAY IN LINE AND CAST THAT VOTE, VIRGINIA! OBAMA/ BIDEN NEED THOSE VOTES.THE COUNTRY NEEDS THE CHANGE! GO OBAMA/ BIDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA IS PRAYING FOR YOUR VICTORY.

HANG IN THERE VIRGINIA!!! IF YOU'VE BEEN WAITING ON LINE BEFORE 7:00 THEY CAN'T CLOSE THE POLLS TILL YOU'VE CAST YOUR VOTE! DON'T LET YOUR RIGHT BE TAKEN AWAY!

Just make sure those votes count! Republicans as a whole are nothing but SCUM of the lowest kind and will do anything to STEAL an election!! THEY'VE PROVEN IT MANY TIMES!!!! 2000,2004!!!

The Black-Man is History1 For one simple reason! You idiots push to hard....Barack Obama even if he win's this Election, is doomed. Not him himself!!! No!!!! You!
You the poor sucker? Obama is on an ego trip. The First Idiot, who tried to make an idiot of the USA...

VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN VIRGINIA.

We can do it.

This is indicative of how badly people want to see CHANGE in government. An article says "McCain thinks that Obama will govern like Castro". If you talk with people from Cuba, the vast majority aren't that upset despite their poverty. Why does Bush deal so diplomatic with China and not Cuba? Could it be that the threat level is near equal? Hmmm.... Regarding Obama: he will make an awesome President and will have ordinary citizens at heart, not just the rich. Opportunity doesn't equate to socialism. Taxes may need to increase just to pay the deficit and bills that have been racked up for eight years. Its the reality of living on a credit card.

I agree, continue to wait it out if line long, your voice and vote should be heard and counted.

Go Obama

LET US PRAY! OMG I'll be glad when this is over. I'm biting off my newly manicured nails!

GO OBAMA!!!!!

i hope this is not one last republican scheme to try and skew the results

It's great to see everyone so involved!

STAY IN LINE FOLKS......OBAMA/BIDEN NEEDS YOUR VOTE! I LIVE IN PA AND I ONLY HAD TO WAIT FOR HALF AN HOUR. HOWEVER, IF I HAD TO WAIT 30 HOURS, SO BE IT. JUST THIS ONE TIME VIRGINIA, JUST THIS ONE TIME!

That means the Obama/Biden campaign are having a good night

man, we dems did a great job of getting out the vote this time.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

On McCain saying Obama like Castro, he meant to say Bush/Hitler and Cheney/Stalin. Now there.

And everyone was prediciting a high turnout, so why wasn't Virginia prepared? What is going on with our voting system in this country?

VA for Obama! We love VA!!! Come on VA! get your votes in we are waiting to hear from you! speak loud VA!!!!!!!
