And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012

[Qazox]

AND NOW THE DAILY SHOW!!

about an hour late on that one.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Wow, two times in the last 12 years the Electoral College has fucked up.

*hates Obama*

*supports Electoral College*

*Obama wins because of Electoral College*

*still supports Electoral College*

Let it be known, some conservatives are consistent.

[The Emerald Dawn]

Trump can suck it. He was all up on Bush's schlong in 2000, so he can suck it in 2012.

[Gauntleted Fist]

So Ohio could go to Romney at the end.

And if Florida's recount shows more Romney votes...shit will happen.

Well, Obama is leading in Ohio, so I have no idea what you guys are on about.


Obama is also ahead by >0.5% in Florida.

[Norstal]

Wow, two times in the last 12 years the Electoral College has fucked up.

Wait until California finishes counting.

Yeah but counting slowly is unpatriotic or something.

[Vazdania]

BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOO!!!!!! ITS A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA, 16 TRILLION IN DEBT AND NO END IN SIGHT. BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Land Fomerly Known as Ligerplace]

With 62% of votes from Wisconsin District 1 in, Paul Ryan has nearly 58% of the current counted votes. So he's still going to be in the House of Representatives.

Fuck you, District 1. Fuck you.

Dammit, I wanted that cat to double lose tonight.

Damn, even his own VP bet against him.

[AiliailiA]

According to politico, Obama didn't win the popular vote.

That is unmitigated, absolute, total, unadulterated, pure, complete, patent, abject, authentic whaleshit.

I fully admit that Gore should've been President. He would've been a disaster, but he should have won. Now the people who went ballistic when that happened will go wild over this.

I almost hope things get worse so we change this insane system.

I thought you were Republican? Do you dislike the idea of state rights/independence?

The electoral college is actually the most fair way of electing a president with the power on the states. It gives each state the chance to vote for a president, and then the victor of the states wins the presidency.

Hence why so much of this thread has been about Texas and California, right?

And frankly, don't agree with the whole "each state for itself" idea, but I think of the choices America would use, the electoral college is best. While its not directly in line with a national populous vote, I think it applies a somewhat fair balance to elections.

But who was it that called it that Obama would win the electoral, lose the popular, and people would start complaining a la 2004?

Me among others.

Lobby the Republicans in your state congress.

I would but I won't. Why? I have offically giving up on America. Yay!
*sighs*

Join the club. I'm an old-timer.

ARISTOCRACY/MONARCHY FOR THE WIN

[North California]

Wow, two times in the last 12 years the Electoral College has fucked up.

Let it be known, some conservatives are consistent.

1. I'm not conservative
2. I hate the Electoral College (Gore should have won 2000)
3. Your stupid theory is debunked

Let it be known, that you were wrong

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

Ohio swings to Blue again.

Situation normal again.

Fucking Cleveland and Cincinnati, man, I'm telling you. They slow down on reporting and it's the end of the world suddenly.

Cincinnati has the Reds, so they're excused.

Cleveland has no excuse.

Your capslock key is an 1/8th of an inch to the left of your home row. It's like...not even a thought away. Love your capslock key, let it rest.

[Gauntleted Fist]

Virginia has been called for Obama.

Pack it up, folks.

[Cannot think of a name]

And if Florida's recount shows more Romney votes...shit will happen.

Well, Obama is leading in Ohio, so I have no idea what you guys are on about.


Obama is also ahead by >0.5% in Florida.

Fox, in their funeral dirge, just called Colorado for Romney, so it's moot.

FTFY

He won't! Geez, wait till California's counted before talking about popular vote. CTOAN, can I borrow your puppy?

But if we do not use the capslock Romney will lose and Obama will lead us into 10000 years of darkness.

Just making a point.

I'm not disappointed. I have been saying since last year Obama would win reelection, and I was right. I would have been more mad if Romney had won, because I hate him with a passion as well, and I would have been wrong.

[Cannot think of a name]

Can anyone hear Nate Silver yelling "SCOREBOARD, SCARBOROUGH! MOTHERFUCKING SCOREBOARD!" from their house?

[Farnhamia]

Virginia has been called for Obama.

Pack it up, folks.

Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. The Times, which has been very conservative in calling states, now gives Obama 285. Ohio and Florida are now officially irrelevant.
