Right now VA, CO, FL, and OH are the only ones that are at all contestable. If Romney won all four, he'd only win by one vote. So yes, any one of those being decided for certain ends the game.

He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

Er.. I may be wrong, but didn't GWB lose the popular vote?

I'm pushing for a constitutional amendment so we can give Reagan another term to turn things around.

Yes, he did. Obama hasn't lost the popular vote yet either, the numbers are still coming in from the West coast and as they come in, Obama's closing the gap. The popular vote will be very close, neither one won it by "a lot" and Obama will likely come out ahead as California, Oregon and Washington put in their final numbers.

No, but I don't recall Trump calling for a revolution over the 'travesty' then. Besides, Obama hasn't lost the popular vote yet.

In other news, Florida won't be decided until tomorrow - absentee votes. :bored:

Michelle Bachmann's race is too close to call, even though she outspent her opponent 12-1.

Please oh please oh please let her be defeated! :cheer:

It still flat out amazes me that people like her get any votes at all! At least I can say we Hoosiers were smart enough to not vote Mourdoch!

The popular vote is meaningless afaik.. just something for the side that lost to use to salve their butthurt if it favours them.
