On Nov. 4th, when Fox News calls the election for Obama...
How loud will the sounds of freeper heads exploding be? Will it register on the Richter scale?

Will they be the last to call it for Obama? How long will they wait? Will they say "McCain could still win this thing yet," in front of map featuring a blue Virginia and Florida?

1. My guess is that Rim Job will have to shut down for the night.

2. My guess is Fox won't call it for at least two hours
after the first network calls it.

3. They'll call it for McCain a few times just to make themselves feel better.
Then about 3 am they'll grudgingly admit that Obama may possibly pull ahead. At the point Obama wins they'll be screaming for a recount of Florida and possibly Ohio. My prediction.

4. the sounds you are describing will be the weapons
discharging ... as they get ready for an armed revolution ...

which is what would have taken place had Bush v Gore been decided otherwise ...

13. The vast majority of them
are too chickenshit for an armed revolution. I think there will be a lot of cursing and wife-beating and drunken shouting, but that's it.

15. not face-to-face, no ... in the back, yes ...
like that guy who talked with Cindy Sheehan in Texas ... and then, under cover of darkness, ran over the crosses on the roadside ...

They can't handle a fair fight ...

5. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
There will be the rending of clothes, the wearing of sackcloth and ashes.
And there will much rejoicing from us.

6. When freeper heads explode there will be blood, but hardly any brain matter to clean up.

7. I GUARANTEE you FOX will be discussing "voter fraud" and "recounts" and the like.

10. Right. The keyword that night will be "Acorn"
The "Fox All-Stars" will say it over and over again.

8. They won't be calling anything. They'll start talking about how terrible the media is for
calling these things too early, and they're going to "do the responsible thing" by waiting until all the votes are counted...blah...blah...blah. :eyes:

22. No doubt--since they were the ones who started this. I wish I could just bookmark your post
and come back to it that night; you just have to know that's how it will play out.

The irony will be oozing from them all over the internet...

16. FAUX and freeperville will allege "voter fraud"
and Rush and co will push the "Obama stole the election" thing for four years without a shred of evidence.

19. JimRob will post a red baiting thread that will
frighten ol' Joe McCarthy right out of the ground. The foam pouring from his mouth will actually be visible on the thread.

21. If this election is called fairly early in the evening, I just might watch a little FAUX Noize
..strictly for the comedy value of Hannity, O'Reilly, Twit Hume, and the Coulterbeast melting down on live TV. Maybe Colmes might even find his balls and tell them all to "suck it". :rofl:

24. Since it's early November, I'm probably going with some winter microbrews
Just about every decent brewery on the West Coast puts out at least one variety. :beer:

A few examples....

Pyramid's Snow Cap Ale http://www.pyramidbrew.com/beer/beerguide/snow_cap.php

Fish Tale's Winterfish http://www.fishbrewing.com/winterfish.html

Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale http://www.sierranevada.com/beers/celebrationale.html
(hopefully that one will be fitting, namewise)

27. I bet you won't hear McCain concede until the next day.
If Obama wins decisively Tuesday night, that bastard will take his time conceding.
