Your "ticker" picture casts a red glow which makes it look like it's straight from hell; is that to prepare us for an "Obamanation" victory?

You have been living HELL for the last year years. IDIOT.

Today history will be made. Congratulations to Senator Obama and his entire campaign staff for the extraordinary race that they have ran. You all are to be commended for a respectful campaign and refusal to play gutter politics. Well, I guess Sarah Palin will not be mocking community organizers any time soon.

Our next President Barack Hussein Obama.

I'm so emotional I can hardly think.

Maggie, Can you?

i AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT TAX BREAKS FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. I WORKED FOR SMALL BUSINESSES ALL MY LIFE . AND ALL THE TAX BREAKES DO IS BUY NEW BMW"S AND VACATIONS FOR THE OWNERS. WHEN YOU ASKS FOR A RAISE IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME STORY. "THIS WAS A BAD YEAR." Maybe next year.

I can't believe CNN is still on air today... shouldn't you all be down voting & shouting for the guy you have pumped & loved for the past two years "OBAMA" ...
Good luck to J McCain...

Brace yourself for 4 more years of "Jimmy Carter." Most people have forgotten or are too youg to recall his mess.

I would sincerly hope that all have learned and grown up a bit. We as a country cannot hope to get out of the illegalities of the current GOP administration itf the McCain / Palin tickets ascends to the whitehouse.
we should be willing to give change a chance. In the same breath we have to be willing to reject that change if it is ineffective come 2012.
Give change a chance

It make me sick to read the hate filled bile of extremist supporters of either candidate. Both of these men are good honest patriots who want to serve thier country.. I often wonder why any person would run for office and be subjected to the vicious rants of extremists on either end of the political spectrum. We should be proud of both of these good men whether we agree with their positions or not.

Grow up. Get educated on the "issues" and then vote. God bless America!

I voted for Obama before going to work this morning it was the best feeling ever.

I have not been excited about voting fo many years as a Democrat.

Today we have a candidate that will make the country and the world a better place to live in.

I am praying all day for Obama to win this election.

We cannot allow 4 more years of GOP Rule over America.

Get out and vote for Obama

VOTE SMART,,,MCCAIN HAS LIED,,, CHECK IT OUT ONLINE,,

VOTE EARLY AND STAY UNTIL ITS CAST!!!

Already voted Obama
All my family- of Republicans- voted Obama!!

A NEW DAY HAS COME!!

Pole sana Kwa kifo cha nyanya yako.Tuko nyuma yako kwa maombi.

The people in Dixville Notch are pretty smart-a good sign for Obama/Biden. As a New Jerseyan, I proudly cast my vote of Senator Obama. This is my 11th Presidential election, but I still got misty eyed.

Go Obama/ Biden

IF OMAMA WINS:

FIRST GET IN LINE FOR YOUR WALFARE CHEEKS, THEN
GET IN THE SOUP LINE.

THE FALL OF AMERICA WILL BEGIN!!!!!!!

Today is the day when America chooses it's next President. I am praying that choice will be Obama! This is going to be a very exciting and emotional day. If Obama wins, America wins!

So if you haven't already voted, please do so. Our nation is counting on your vote!

We are all Americans!

cnn why is my post awaiting moderation THIS IS AMERICA POST THE DAM THING

Voted this morning in a Columbus, OH (Westerville) for Obama/Biden.

Hopefully Ohio will follow in Dixville Notch's footsteps.

My husband and I were in line at our tiny township hall at 6:35 this morning. Polls opened at 7:00. We were 4th and 5th in line and it took less than 5 minutes to vote. We both voted for Barack Obama.

Obama/Biden 08!

America united ???? I've never seen it so divided and it is going to get worse.

A historic day all the way!!!! Congrets America on this I NEVER THOUGHT I LIVE TO SEE THE DAY EVENT. Obama is a tremendous person and will be a sublime president!! Give him 8 years: OBAMA 08!!

Voting for obama to choke this country to death? How stupid can you people be.Has common sense been bread out of you.
Now that you've voted for obama just sit back and watch just how much he has lied to you. I hope you get what you've asked for fools.

I don't care if it's Dixville Notch, New Hampshire or Los Angeles, no results should be announced until all polls are closed across the country.

Louise Candis Grays in Bryan, Tx. So what if Texas is a red state, go out there and make it BLUE for OBAMA/BIDEN

Obama will be the next president we all was ready for . God bless america and bless Obama.

I live in TN and my polling station does not open until 8 am

I haven't slept in days for anxiety. I am optimistic but cautious. I just hope we make it to the finish line.

Very proud to see once Republican places voting Obama. Hopefully this is a great sign to come.

If you haven't voted for Obama yet please get out today and do it. The election is not over yet and every vote really does matter, even in red states.

I voted!!!!!!!!!!! We had paper ballots. I feel good and soon we will dance and sing in celebration! Change is here.

God bless America where every thing is possible. Obama will be directed by God the almighty. Go president Obama and good luck in every thing you do.

Wow – i'm all the way over in Sydney Australia and wishing I could vote in this election, it is an amazing time and it brings tears to my eyes to see all these wonderful hopeful messages for Obama,

YES WE CAN, lets prove good wins out and positive change is possible for all....................

good luck guys and girls, my prayers are with you that the right candidate.... Mr Obama gets elected today.

This time is the most memorable time that we all will never forget. We see everyone pulling together for a better world and a better place. Everyone keep strong at the voting polls. It's your privilege use it with pride and honor. Don't worry about the polling machines, as long as you keep standing in line there will be an opportunity that will open to cast your vote. Hold On!!

Glitches may happen with technology, it's true. Your election process though is in dire need of reform. It is no longer the envy of the world. more a laughing stock. Money has permeated and corrupted every aspect of American society. Funny then that you can't find the money to fix the problem of something as simple as voting.
You Americans are also overly analytical. This is one reason your nation is so divided. It is NOT a melting pot, rather a nation of refugees – rdivided along eligious, political and economic lines.

My bride and I just voted. 45 minutes in rural Chester Co. PA - 2 more votes for Barack.

Don't let the news scare you with all the talk of long lines. I just voted here in Miami and it only took me 30mins to vote for McCain/Palin.

I would think that the Governor of Florida would have known ahead of time that this year would be a record breaker and that all eyes would be on Florida after the fiascos of previous years. Did anyone think of opening a few more polling places? We seriously need some changes to the way our voting is handled. One of our most important rights is hindered by inefficiency. How pitiful.

I am praying for Obama to win. We need him for America and the world, especially in this troubling time.

McCain Supporters... If you have not voted, get in line and vote. This is a historic event and the liberals will take it away. Have patience, but vote. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE. Be true Americans. Imagine all the people in some countries that do not have this privilege. VOTE MCCAIN....

G.O.P is hating..trying to steal the elections..NO wonder McCain is so confident that he will win....NC, Va...voting problems in heavily AA population areas having machine problems....shame on the G.O.P...see what happened when Bush stole the election? His presidency was put to shame

I voted at 7:00 AM sharp for "That One" and I feel great. What a special day today will be when we can say goodbye to 8 years of subverting the constitution, ignoring the rule of law, and the attempt to establish an "imperial" presidency.

Good bye Bush and Cheney – hello fresh air.

Obama Biden 08!! I'm not even American. It's 1.10 am in the morning here in Australia, and I'm keeping a close eye on the US election, confidently awaiting a democratic win. Come on yanks, get behind Obama and vote your hearts out! The welfare of the world depends on this!

I am proud as a Caucasian American to finally see a man, other than a Caucasian man running for the President of the United States. This historic moment clearly depicts the long and treacherous road to a common goal among the American people uniting as one, which should have happened years ago.. This is truly a great moment in American history, and our country should be proud that we have finally come this far, and that we are united. We can all stand as one nation under God. God Bless America, and God bless Obama!!!!

Election Day is finally here!

Obama/Biden '08!

It doesn't surprise me that election machines have already started to "malfunction." Why is it that these machines work absolutely fine elsewhere, but when it comes to the heavy populated African-American areas and Swing states, that these machines fail to show up. Also, I registered in January 08 and my name wasnt in their system, I had to call the registration line(once run by republicans) to confirm that i was registered. Lots of problems with registration this election year it seems.

Lets suppost
North Korea, Vietnam, Japan,Syria,IranChina and Venezuela are planning to bring down the USA economy.
Wait a minute everyone, Barack Hussein Obama Jr.
is going to shoot some hoops for good luck and then 'hope' he wins his pickup game before he addresses the national issue.

Send the republicans a strong message. You needed to do better than McCain/Palin to get the American people to accept 4 more years.

Obama/Biden

I early voted in NC a couple of weeks ago!!!! I'm a flight attendant and I was due to fly today. I'm so anxious, I called out using what little sick time I have left. I felt that there is more I could do on this day, so I will volunteer to take people to the polls and possibly hand out H2O and energy bars if needed. I will do anything to be sure everyone's voice gets heard. Besides, I like so many others have personalized this election I can't sit still !!!!!

I BARACK(ed) MY VOTE!!!!!!!!!! and I will do what I can to ensure others do the same!!!!!!

It is wonderful to see so many Americans involved in THEIR politics again.....WE THE PEOPLE..................

McCain has a very big chance. Obama supporters get ready to concede...That will be the change... No Obama...

Wonderful to see Americans so involved again in their politics, We The People......

I did my part to safeguard the future of the US.
I voted McCain!!!!!! Yes We the People can!!!
The one for the people not for himself.

If Obama wins will his speech be similar to JFK's only a few changes such as, " Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for me!"

Mireille
Are you really hoping for the $1000.00 Barack Hussein Obama Jr.
promised to mail you as soon as he becomes president?

VOTE VOTE VOTE – 333! OBAMA – BIDEN 08PLUS!

FINALLY it's our turn. I voted at 7:30am in Queens NY, waited only 1/2 hour. I am such a bundle of nerves right now, I hope the election is called early so I can get some much needed sleep. No matter how you vote for we are all Americans on November 5th.

OBAMA/BIDEN ALL THE WAY

McCain cannot win honestly. The GOP and the McCain campaign are going to commit election fraud.

No voting issues in Norhern New York. Go Obama!!!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
DON'T WORRY ACORN SUPPORTERS WILL HELP WITH THE PAPER BALLOTS AND ERASERS.

Today I wish I was an American.

GO OBAMA!!!!

So this is McCains big upset , yeah more Bush play book, how to Cheat a nation out of its voice! voter tax and broken equipment hey folks we need paper ballots and the day off to have our opinions heard! Time for some Big Changes.

We're almost there, and the best part;.........

PUMAS DON'T MATTER!!!!!

Haaaaaa Haaaaaaaa Haaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take your sorry bitter butts and go cry with Leiberman you disingenuous harpies!!!!

I'm so emotional I can hardly think.

A contrast of the two campaigns: McCain and Palin state Obama's name and/or his policies and give a pause for people to "boo". Obama, when his supporters boo'ed at the mention of McCain's name, said "no need to boo. just vote"....So there it is!

If by some miracle McCain wins, everytime a tough situation presents, who is he going to blame? Or is he going to suspend his presidency to go attend to that crisis?

God willing and the 'crik' don't rise (or another STOLEN election!)-America can rest easy once again.

Here in AZ, sample ballots are sent to all registered voters. We fill them out at home then take with us into the booth and mark ballots.
Speeds things up when you don't have to read before marking.
I will be voting for Obama today.

Obama is not great,but The Americans are,wether,black or white or brown or red for stnding up for Obama.

DON'T WORRY ACORN SUPPORTERS WILL HELP WITH THE PAPER BALLOTS AND ERASERS!!!!!!!!

I live in a rural area in Ohio. When I got up this morning at seven I looked out my window at our polling place (a church). The parking lot was already packed. The line stretched outside the doors. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to vote before. Today is going to be different. Today is going to be very different for many reasons. Ohio is going blue.

At 57, I have seen some history made, but I've never been more proud of an American achievement as this one. We are still a country with a lot of idiots, morons and bigots, but now, for the first time in my lifetime, they are in a distinct minority.

Technology is not perfect. It does break. Granted they should have checked the machines BEFORE letting the public in. There should also be paper ballots at every location just in case. Too our new President, Good Luck Mr. Obama. WOOHOO Obama-Biden 08/12

"Most" calls to the hotline came from Florida...whats with those people down there? They make headlines every 4 years and for all the wrong reasons!

Let's get er done America!

This election will force the Republican's to rethink their vile and devisive tactics that have gone on for 30 years. This goes back to Reagan.

No more Willie Horton racial politics in our politics or our corporations anymore ... your boss might be a black man ... and he might not take kindly to your "jokes" anymore.

Republicans can no longer falsely portray the Democrats as soft, pushovers anymore. This brother is smooth but his squad will cut you deep if you get stupid. Black Machismo blunts those wuss labels.

I have always believed Americans have good sense of judgement. 80% of the world citizens prefer Obama. America, do not be isolated; vote Obama and remain an essential element in our world.

There's a pattern here ,machines aren't working,Obama's winning-
I smell a RAT

I am not American however I am very interested in the election and its results. For the sake of the rest of the world PLEASE America vote for Obama today. Show the rest of the world that you can be that inspirational & intelligent country that once was. Not the ignorant, self centered country that you have become.

Congratulations and thank you for electing Obama.

America, c'mon we need to get these voting machines straight after all we've had 4 years. Why can't we just adopt Oregon's model where all votes are cast by mail in good old paper ballots. I think the Republicans are finding ways to manipulate the electronic machines.

Don't let McGimmick steal this election. GO VOTE. Report voting problems to the toll-free numbers at CNN or MSNBC. Thank God we have that technology this year!

Obama/Biden '08

Obama for presisent... of the WORLD !!!

Thank you people of the USA to give us hope in CHANGE ... !!!

Remember the military vote when doing the counts and recounts....

The military overseas have up to 10 after the election for ballot returns.
The ballot has to be postmarked on or before November 4th, but have to be in no later than November 14th.

Make sure the military vote counts.

Palin .... " I don't know what a community organizer is"

Biden ... " It's another name for President of the United States".

I amm anxious too cast my most important today as soon as i can leave my night job. Today the Whole World is watching history being made! Go Obama Go! I'm so happy for this historical moment in America!

Obama all the way to Pennsyvania Ave!
Voe baby vote!

Republicans are (as usual) lying and cheating to try and steal this election. Today is the day to vote and make sure you know where your location is. Be ready for long lines and delays. And VOTE!!!!!

I love the USA and I love Barak Obama!!

I voted in Florida at 7:00 am, I was the 5th in line and the machine had already stopped working. I think this is actually worse than the hanging chad incident.

I just voted .. my first time in a Presidential Election .. and I cast my vote for the next president, Barack Obama. I hope he not only wins, but wins by a landslide. That shall be the final word on the failed policies of Reagan, Bush and Palin.

What a wonderful day in American. Please exercise your right to vote!!

Democracy is comming to the USA

Sail on oh mighty ship of state
to the shores of need
past the reefs of greed
thru the squalls of hate
Sail On

Where were you and what were you doing when the historic ANNOUNCEMENT (is)(was) made? One thing is for sure. I won't be whining in Florida. Can't those people get anything about voting right Or is that the problem?

The thing that bothers me is that some people won't get out and vote.I got up extra early to go and vote as soon as the polls opened so as to avoid the expected long lines, it took me all of 15 minutes! Where are the rest of the voters?

Our shackles are off free @ last free @ last

Can't wait to head back to beautiful Dixville Notch and spend some money at the Balsams Resort ... now that it is friendly territory again!

Sincerely speaking, Obama is the Ideal candidate for the white house. Let's call a spade a spade. McCain is equal to Bush. We have really suffered enough in the hands of Republicans who are only concerned in Wars. Please let us give Obama a chance.
IN GOD WE TRUST.

Voted at 6:10 this morning. Obama/Biden '08!

I'm going to go vote today!

I live in St. John, MO and usually you can walk right up and vote. The most I have ever waited was about 5 minutes. Well lets just say my husband woke up at 5:30 to go get in line, there was already a long line. He has been waiting for over an hour now. I just talked to him and he said it will probably take another hour or two. This is amazing! I certainly hope they announce that Barack wins MO!

come on AMERICA lets follow DIXVILLE NOTCH LETS HAVE A LANDSLIDE ALL OVER THE GREAT " UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

CNN SAYS MICHIGAN POLLS CLOSE AT NINE P.M. THAT IS NOT TRUE! Our polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Get your facts straight CNN!

We're okay here in Michigan. Everything going fine so far. I'm so excited I can't stand it. I'm even taking a day off tomorrow to recover and celebrate this most historic day in America. Congrats to Barack and Joe! (Obama/Biden 08). God bless New Hampshire for gettin' the ball rolling!

Once in a lifetime we get to witness history in the making. That time is now. America, you have restored my faith in humanity. Well done Jakogelo.

There is no reason for any State in the union to have problems with voting in this election – How long have we had to get ready for this day. Shame on the people who head this up. Yes, there will be minor problems that happens – but everyone should have a back up plan A – Z.

Once in on on lifetime we get to witness history in the making. That time is now. America, you have restored my faith in humanity. Well done Jakogelo.

We're on our way!! It'ssbeen a long time coming but a chance is gonna come. Out with the (old )Bush and in with the (new) OBAMA!!

I voted in Newport News, VA; it was totally worth it to stand in line in the rain to know that "I" was part of history being made.

This election is an emotional one. I cast my vote this morning in NYC at 6:24am. I have tears in my eyes thinking about how this country is changing.

GO OBAMA GO!!!! '08 & '12
I'M SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN TODAY !!!!!

Finally we getting the country back.enough with republikans.go obama biden

now is the time we have all been waiting for, so let's get out vote to bring change to washington, and let's pray for barack and his family in their time of sorrow.

I think we tend to forget what happened in the 2000 elections went the other guy was ahead in the polss by seven points. hmmmmmmmm could that happen again? answer yes it could.

Please vote Obama/Biden

Yes, McCain is going to go around to all states and teeter with the voting booths. Do you all realize how immature you sound?

If you are all examples of supporters of Obama, heaven help us for the next four years.

I hope CNN keeps the blog going after the election and when you don't have the universal health care (with an all dem congress) will you still be singing his praises?

i cant wait to reach out my hand in friendship to these nasty hateful republicans and say now lets fix america.something a republican would never do so i will be the better man.

OH well we shall see wont we?

I plan to quit my job and get my welfare check from the Dems–I refuse to work hard to support all of those fat well-fed people who refuse to work.

GOD BLESS AMERICA THE PLACE WHERE A BLACK MAN CAN BE THE PRESIDENT

----cnn,

can't u put a better picture??????????

Obama 2008

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

COME THROUGH AMERICA!

VOTE OBAMA / BIDEN!

GET AMERICA GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AGAIN!

OBAMA / BIDEN!

John McCain is a patriot and served honorably in the armed forces and we owe him alot for that and I respect him for that. But the statute of limitations should be over. He was a great soldier but that doesn't mean he would be a great president.

Barak Obama is our nations best hope to move the country forward……..to end the war and help rebuild our country with the 8 billion dollars a month we send to Iraq, to jumpstart our economy, to work towards not relying on foreign oil. to find a way to solve our healthcare crisis, and to win a place of respect and friendship with the countries of the world who either hate us or fear us now.

There are two important things to remember today. First is whichever candidate wins, half the people are not going to be happy and it is up to all of us to start to heal and come together. We ARE the United States of America. The second most important things is VOTE.

I just voted for Obama/Biden in Maryland and I can't stop smiling!!! The line was around to building and cars were lined up down the highway!! It was a beautiful feeling.

The Republicans and their hate mongering comes to an end today.

`

Sarah Palin's 15 minutes of fame runs out today.

`

Just get out and vote....

Obama/Biden08/12

As goes Dixville Notch, so goes the rest of the nation.

Fired up and Ready to Go!

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

Go Sen Obama, we are all with you today.....we want everyone to vote
and every vote to be counted.
Last chance today to vote for the only person to get this country working again....if you have to wait in line it will be well worth it, think of your future and your children's future.
So, don't be disheartened as you wait in line, be proud to think you will be part of this very historic moment and vote for this fine young man, who we will all be proud to call President Obama.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08

McCain can ONLY win by manipulating the electronic voting machines. There is no other road to the White House for him.

I voted in Sidney, Ohio at 6:30 AM and everything went fine.

There is no looking back now. This is a journey we started 22 months ago and we want to cross the finish line with our heads held high. My condolences to Mr Obama for losing the pillar of his life on a day when he need her most to reap where she planted.

Obama/Biden

Attaway Dixville Notch ! O8AMA

Dix makes me proud to have once lived in NH. Looks like at long last NH is going blue!

Thank you Dixville....yeah yeah

CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT OBAMA!

AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO BUSH AND HIS HENCHMEN!

WE GOT OUR COUNTRY BACK!

Eight years after the most contested election in history, we are still seeing problems that could be easily rectified. We should be ashamed of ourselves. And if you are an election official who screws up on the day of the presidential election, RESIGN! Resign your post immediately and never again run for any elective office.

Your "ticker" picture casts a red glow which makes it look like it's straight from hell; is that to prepare us for an "Obamanation" victory?

Get out and vote!!!!! A person who has the opportunity and is able to get to the poles should cast their ballot. There is little sympathy for those who chose not to exercise their right and then complain about the results of the election.

I think it is a disgrace that the world's technologically most advanced country somehow finds it impossible to supply voting machines that are adequate in both quantity as well as quality to guarantee a decent election.

It's all over but the crying for McCain…

Today, history will be made.

YES WE CAN!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

The media should stop visiting these small towns in New Hampshire or reporting on their election decisions until ALL of their eligible population is registered to vote. Not THAT would be a news story!

perhaps it not politically correct to say this, this morning I am prouder than ever to be a black american, not because of the potential to have a black president, but the fact that I may live to see the president that was able to unite the United States of America

God Bless America

today is obama happiest day and sad day for his grand mother

BYE BYE PALIN YOU JERK !!! IT IS HATE BECAUSE YOU CAN BRING IT OUT OF THE BEST OF US ........

Finally, Election Day is here!

This is news to me I never knew there was such a place that was able to count and finish their elections so quick.

On another note. I read the article about Hank Jr. What a loser he is who in the heck is going to listen to this washed up old man. He, just like so many other republicians are clueless. Where is it written that if you don't cover your heart during the national athem your patriotism is questioned? the many times I have sang and heard the song I never put my hand over my heart, the men remove their hats but no hand over the heart like this idiot hank is talking about. He needs to be fired from Monday night football apperances, he has crossed the line, loser.

Obama/Biden
