You could be up VERY late. If Virginia and especially Ohio come down to the wire, results could take a long time.

Fortunately, I think Obama's got Ohio by a couple points. :awesome:

There aren't many times I miss living in the mideast, but elections are one of them.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I blame Obama. Romney and Akin. If it weren't for them, I would have voted after work. They disrupted my routine. Lunch is at home on kitchen table.

I watched the news on the BBC this morning and the reporter said that they had spent two billion $ between them on the election, at my age I would not spend two $ on an erection. :prof:

Well, he would have, but the Reps have apparently installed new software into voting machines at the last minute, without going through the proper process. Which is probably entirely innocent, of course...

I can tell you now, that Obama has won it. You just have to look at the betting odds.

Romney 7/2
Obama 1/5

Ladbrokes don't get ANYTHING that wrong.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Already getting reports that the voting machines in Florida are changing "Obama" to "Romney". No surprise there.
