And Here We Go: Presidential Election Day 2012

[Miami Shores]

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.

And well maintained vintage cars.








I have weird priorities...

lol.

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.

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.

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

I'll write it for him.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my fellow Americans, my hardworking staff and campaigners.



Eh. We tried. I'm out, gonna turn a nickel into a dime peddling influence.

538 says 313

Its official, I won.

Thank you.

Did you?

You have to get every state correct, as well as the EC count, you know.

[The Land Fomerly Known as Ligerplace]

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!

That certainly looks like a santorum filled ticket from here.

SANTORUM/BACHMAN 2012!

SWEATER VESTS FOR EVERYONE!

[Liriena]

Thank you for being reasonable, Virginia!

[Yumyumsuppertime]

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

good fucking job america

Corporate profits have increased and the stock market has gone up over the past four years. Government has grown at its slowest rate in decades.

By what definition is that communism?

I didn't actually, somebody said 304 before me IIRC.

I just wanted to feel important for a few seconds.

[Grave_n_idle]

Posts like this are just silly.

Not silly

Yes, silly. The last four years have not been 'communism'. Ask anyone who has actually encountered communism.

Moreover, of course - the real voter fraud scandal this year (and in previous years) is connected to Nathan Sproul - who is directly connected to the Romney campaign.

So.... no communism, and the voter fraud aspect is more linked to Republicans than Democrats.... i.e. this kind of post is 'silly'.

SANTORUM - GINGRICH 2016!

There we are.

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

What disaster of Sandy? As soon as there was an issue, Obama called off his campaign and went back to work getting FEMA and federal assistance to work. They got a Navy ship off the coast so helicopters could be used to get emergency supplies to areas trucks couldn't get to. When the gas shortage hit, he got a Navy oil tanker off the coast to make sure that even if the refineries couldn't supply oil, something could.

Frankly, Obama did fantastic here. I know people who got, essentially, air dropped generators so they'd have power to heat their homes after 4 days in 40 degree weather. I saw lines at gas stations go from 2-3 hours of waiting to get $20 gas to significantly shorter lines in a day (and kudos to Christie for the ration). I'm not sure what you could blame Obama for on Sandy. I'm grateful.

Looks like California will probably be a 20 point win for Obama.

CTOAN is funny and good in a crisis.

I'm not sure how many Volkswagens he'd find in Cuba though.

SANTORUM - GINGRICH 2016!

There we are.

We could go all GA.

Gingrich-Cain 2016.

*nods*

Although very unlikely.

VENTURA/JONES 2016 is better.

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

Well...

(Image)

I have to think that "I'm moving to Canada" is just an expression and no one actually moves lives in Canada. Fuck it, I'm glad Obama won (I got my cake and ate it too, the guy I wanted to win and I still got to be an annoying hipster and vote Green Party, 'cause I'm Californian and I can do that kind of thing), I'd still move to Canada if they would have me. Canada is fucking awesome.

Hopefully. That man I will vigourosly support for president.

Expect me to be much less nice four years from now.

Looks like California will probably be a 20 point win for Obama.

Maybe even more, considering they've counted mostly Republican counties, but haven't really counted San Francisco county, or any of Los Angeles Coutny's votes.

[AiliailiA]

Yeah, and the popular vote is tending Obama. Shofercia is probably right.

Of course he has to blame the storm. It would be inconceivable that people would consider Obama and Romney and vote for Obama. Inconceivable!

Here it comes:

according to aol.com: Romney will deliver concession speech at approximately 12:55 a.m. Eastern.

Anyone else have another source to confirm?

Not Newt then?

Nah, I like Rick. Cain could be a decent VP, though I would rather he get Gingrich - gives him a running mate with lots of political experience.

[Napkiraly]

Romney's speaking shortly.
