Same here, Twofy, but I gotta admit, it would be hard to imagine all those projections being wrong by such a wide margin.

Well, IF Obama does win, I say tomorrow we roll the tanks into the red states and force them to secede from the union.
Re: Election Day, USA!
I just switched to Fox News, I guess for the shcadenfreude, and they're talking about how the remainder of the Ohio votes are expected from heavily blue areas. Same for VA and FL, last I heard. And Colorado looks like it'll be a solid Obama win at this point. Yep, this should pretty much be in the bag.

Cheers in the Romney-Ryan camp as they're 0.2% ahead in the popular vote! 
Re: Election Day, USA!
I would love to see Republicans get next to the idea of abolishing the electoral college. Or going with the hybrid solution recently proposed by somebody in Congress: give the winner of the popular vote 29 (give or take) "at large" electoral votes not tied to any one state.PordFrefect wrote:Cheers in the Romney-Ryan camp as they're 0.2% ahead in the popular vote!
Imagine candidates actually campaigning in California, Texas, New York and thirty-odd other states, asking for and getting out their votes.
Re: Election Day, USA!
Colorado is in for Obama, and Nevada's going to be as well. That'll do it, even without Ohio, Virginia and Florida.

Re: Election Day, USA!
Virginia just declared for Obama. Can we say he won now without reserve?

Looks like marijuana will be legal in three states. And same-sex marriage will be passed by voters in Maryland - the first time this has happened in 33 attempts around different states. 
It's going to be difficult for Republicans to talk about the 2012 election as anything but a painful buttrape.
Here's something that sucks: this has been a profoundly negative campaign on both sides. Romney and the Republicans were negative from the start trying to make it a referendum on Obama and attacking him on everything under the sun (including a lot of made up nonsense), and Obama spent the spring and summer defining Romney in a negative light. Whichever side won, this election might prove to people (again) that smashmouth electioneering works.

Nothing looks more petty than failing to concede gracefully - Romney has face planted.

Or just have the blue states stop subsidizing them with our tax dollars. Same effect without a shot being fired.rasetsu wrote:Well, IF Obama does win, I say tomorrow we roll the tanks into the red states and force them to secede from the union.
