And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012

[AiliailiA]

Its official, Romney has gone from beaten to FUCKING CRUSHED.

Not even funny or exciting, I'm in actual awe.

Good fucking job Obama, for all the shit you went through, you just trolled the entire nation.

Even Nate fucking Silver might be wrong.

... I think our definition of the word "crushed" is different.

But I have a feeling that I'm going to need to sleep some to find out by how much.

You're a Republican supporter aren't you ... or lean that way.

You've always been very decent about it, so I'm not even sure, but if so you have my sympathy.

Not silly Im going back to cuba on a raft, across 90 miles of shark infested waters.

I think the silly part was calling voter fraud before the votes are counted.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Obama hasn't claimed victory yet has he?

Maybe he forgot to write a victory speech

It's traditional to wait for the opponent to concede. Apparently, breaking this tradition might make Chris Mathews cry...he's been very emotional about it all night.

Give him a tissue and lets be done with it, damn it.

[Gauntleted Fist]

Yay, voter fraud and four more shitty years of communism.

good fucking job america

Nice try...but I'm too happy to be outraged by that inane comment.

In one night, the US got rid of Romney, Akin, Mourdock...hell, even gay marriage got legalized in a couple of states! In one night, I got to see Fox News utterly humilliated!

We might even get rid of Allen West and Michelle Bachmann.

Tonight cannot possibly get any better.

That's silly. Church groups go there all the time, you just wander over to some government building in Havana and ask for asylum.

Communism ain't that bad.

Also, the hammer approaches.

Wrong? He can't be much more right. If Florida and Virginia hold, he's 50 for 50.

The electoral vote count listed isn't a tally of the states each campaign 'wins', it's the sum of electoral votes * the chance of winning. So Florida, which was nearly even, gave around 14.5 votes to Obama on his EV count and the same to Romney in the last EV count. Given that can't actually happen, it was going to be either about 14 points higher or 14 lower. Add in that not all the swing states were 100% (though most were around 80%), it's a little off. But every state he listed is right, even Florida at 50.3% right now.

My brother, have you chance to hoist ballast?

Even the GOP wants to get rid of Michelle Bachmann.

As I told one of my roommates today, I'm a Republident.

I didn't want Romney to win, but I'm not enthused about Obama, either.

And now Jerry Brown's face is frozen on my screen. Appropriate.

[Wilgrove]

Well guys, I'm going to bed. I'm sure Obama and Romney speech will make it's way on YouTube so I can watch it tomorrow.

That's quite a self-sacrifice to flee Obammunism. You'd go back to no nice toilet paper and no McDonald's just to make a point?

Well, there's the rum and cigars I suppose.

You missed the part where there were allegations of voter fraud before *any* votes were counted.

[Cannot think of a name]

Oh oh oh oh, Bachmann is 50/50 with her opponent! Same with Allen West! Dream a little dream!

[Almaniania]

Weed! Weed! At last, sweet marijuana is miiiine!

Don't make fun of me! Some of us had to stay sober and stuff to do all that moddy stuff! (And sadly, though getting totally plastered sounds awfully nice, I fear I'll only be nursing this one cider for the next several hours.)

Though, I have gotta say, NSG, I have been very pleasantly surprised with your collective behavior today so far. Yeah, we had a flurry of warns and banhammer beatings early on, and the occasional one throughout the evening, but overall you guys have been friggin' awesome about not going into a rulebreaking political-fueled rage or anything.

And I'll drink to that!

Of course! We're wonderful angels!

...Reppy's gettin drunk. Quick, while the mod is too tipsy to ban us! Everyone yell at one another!

I kid of course.

...But then Romney won't concede. He doesn't have a concession speech.

I hate New Jersey Gov Chris Christie and the Pro Obama media for not reporting on the disaster of Obama's Sandy Katrina. Not much change in the House of Rep and Senate.

[Arumdaum]

Virginia! Yes!

And well maintained vintage cars.








I have weird priorities...

NHL Lockout discussions went for about 7 hours tonight, slated for another session tomorrow.

Best news of the night.

I'll join you. Instead I will go to Chile. *nods*

[Gauntleted Fist]

Obama up 53,000 votes in Florida.

[Meritocratic States]

Twitter is recently flooded with tweets from Americans (I'm guessing Republicans) are moving to Canada.

Well...

[Neo Art]

as has been pointed out, Romney lost the primary in 2008 to McCain. McCain lost the primary to Bush in 2000.

Romney was, as people have said, the guy who was worse than the guy who was worse than George W. Bush. You know what this means, right?

SANTORUM/BACHMAN 2012!
