And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012

[The Emerald Dawn]

I love how Faux News shows this graphic of the "National Popular Vote" with the nation bathed in red, which only slightly misleads about the fact that NOBODY LIVES THERE.

[Kaylea]

hahaha where's the concession speech. we're waiting.

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

Ohio went back to 12k Obama and Cleveland is 85% in.

Elections are weird.

Jefferson and Lucas haven't updated in almost an hour, and lucas is going to be an Obama landslide.

...

Why is Sandusky right next to Wood?

[Sylesya]

Or it puts him in a shit-ton of debt.

Romney is a billionaire... He has plenty left to trickle down.

Romney's a billionaire now? Source please.

[Shofercia]

Still a Libertarian, probably going to go Fascist. IDK anymore.

Nothing wrong with Fascism. Viva il Duce.

Me among others.

He won't! Geez, wait till California's counted before talking about popular vote.

My opinion is based on the previous polls showing that, not election results so far.

That results so far follow those polls quite closely gives me further confidence. And I'm not calling anything of current significance: popular vote doesn't change anything.

My feeling is that late polling in California will be insipid due to early counts following polls. Democrats in particular would become complacent ... but I guess I should check that. Not sure where to look.

If you feel the need to kick a puppy, perhaps don't reply to me. It's not like this thread is lacking other people to reply to

Nothing to see here. Move along.

[The walkers]

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.

Maybe it's only because i live in this country due to work related Reasons and have a stouch avoid American politics clause tattooed on to my forehead but I really don't know who would do better but apparently a decent amount of people think Obama and while i have never been an overt supporter of democracy.

I am a follower of the saying "Reap what you have sewn" So people will have to deal with Obama because they put him in there.

Perhaps i should move back to Norway once my contract expires, Politics there were never as confusing or outright clouded with lies as they are here.

Although i do like the positives of living in America, But i am sort of curious what a relected Obama will mean, I mean we sort of were slowing down a bit towards the end of this year and if things follow suit i might not need to wait for the contract to expire before i can leave.

<_< I really hope the place does not go bankrupt because of the president picked here tonight.

Theirs going to be a lot of potential profit in political activism and lobbying over the next few years . Didn't want Obama to win, but him winning and how the Congressional elections are going is going to freak a good few people out, gonna provide some nice opportunities.

You'd be surprised by the fact that people live in Texas.

[Bojikami]

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

I can hear it from down in Cuba.

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

Why hasn't Florida been called yet?

[Napkiraly]

hahaha where's the concession speech. we're waiting.

Apparently Romney isn't conceding defeat in Ohio yet.

A high population of little boys?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but America has been bankrupt since the Articles of Confederation.

He's a billionaire. I'm surprised you only just noticed?

[Farnhamia]

Why hasn't Florida been called yet?

Can'r decide what to call them. "Wishy-washy" just doesn't carry the right punch.

Civil War actually, every other time we got in debt or something we balanced it.

The CTOAN puppy joke is for people talking about events that are too soon to be called. Projectively, Obama's leading the popular vote by 550,000+ votes. That's not Romney winning. That's me saying "WAIT till California's counted. At least at 75%."

Not many people live between San Antonio and El Paso.

[Wikkiwallana]

The Mormons do own the Pepsi co.

Seriously? As in the LDS church, not just a Mormon CEO or Chairman or something?

[Gauthier]

hahaha where's the concession speech. we're waiting.

Apparently Romney isn't conceding defeat in Ohio yet.

This image comes to mind.

[Cannot think of a name]

Why hasn't Florida been called yet?

Because then you'd go to bed and stop watching.

Is it time to use the "Blame the Jews" card yet?

[Lumierea]

If Obama does lose the popular vote, I think it’s important to point out that it doesn't mean that he would've lost the election without the EC.

The simple fact of the matter is that Obama would have run his campaign entirely differently if there were a different system, and Romney would as well. Political campaigns aren't blind to the system they work in, after all. It’s really not even possible to figure out who would have won because both sides focus on strategies that work for the EC, popular vote be damned. If they had to use a different strategy… they would, and whoever had the better strategy in the new system would likely determine the winner in a close race, just as Obama’s win is a result of his strategy defeating Romney’s in this case.

All of this, of course, is assuming that Romney even wins the popular vote in the first place, which may not happen.

Well if it looks like a dick...
