US election 2012

[JTG]

Pennsylvania called for Obama. One Romney would have liked, although not crucial. It's almost all over

One he really wanted once he realised Ohio was lost. It's over

 

[audiotech]

Tammy Baldwin telling people in Wisconsin to stay in line to vote - long queues there as well

 

[belboid]

OKay, so Roseanna is the official Peace and Freedom Party candidate for President (Cindy Sheehan for Vice). They're the lot who nominated Ralph Nader last time. At the moment her vote is more than Obama's lead.

So, if he loses....

 

[Fez909]

The Black vote
The Latino vote
The White vote

Horrible dehumanising crap...

Apparently everyone polled said the economy was top of their priorities in choosing who to vote for, yet all that is discussed is race, personality and religion.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Tammy Baldwin projected to win. First openly gay senator.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Long, long waits/queues...allegations of voter intimidation and faulty machines, malicious robo calls and disinformation....It's pretty ugly tbf.

 

[agricola]

What a rubbish queue, that country is doomed etc.

 

[peterkro]

Have we any news yet about Venezuelan poll observers yet.Is it a free vote I MUST KNO !!!!!

 

[JTG]

81% of the Florida vote in and less than 1000 votes in it

 

[audiotech]

O'Reilly now claiming that Hispanic and Black voters are overwhelmingly pro-Obama because he will give them stuff.

 

[Fez909]

81% of the Florida vote in and less than 1000 votes in it

Sounds like recount territory?

 

[Treacle Toes]

Is O'Reily the same one who was warning White people that Obama would do x, y, z?

 

[JTG]

Wisconsin called for Obama. Go to bed Mittens, it's over

 

[belboid]

81% of the Florida vote in and less than 1000 votes in it

6 of the 10 other candidates have more votes than the difference between Obama & Romney

 

[JTG]

Sherrod Brown re-elected for the Dems in Ohio

 

[shagnasty]

He is a really bitter bastard ,mind it makes me laugh

 

[Manter]

Oh god, been watching too many Americans and just read Rutita's post as x,y,zee.
Am taking myself off to the Americanisms thread to be spanked

 

[agricola]

The tone in his voice is the best bit.

[audiotech]

Not only "things", but also hurricane Sandy. "Americans like storms" apparently. Did he say "fuck" just then?

 

[Lord Camomile]

He is a really bitter bastard ,mind it makes me laugh

He's got a point though, I want stuff. Stuff like equality, rights... ah, you can see where this is going.

 

[Treacle Toes]

I'm not going to watch that vid..but did he blame Obama for the hurricane?

I ask because one of the presenters made a joke about that earlier saying that's the only thing they haven't accused him of

 

[JTG]

I think Virginia's getting closer... not sure but I imagine some of the more Democrat leaning areas are later reporting in that state (from memory this is what happened last time)

 

[audiotech]

Fox News: Democrat Donnelly will win Indiana senate seat
Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) appears to have won the senate seat of Sen. Dick Lugar, defeating state treasurer Richard Mourdock. Mourdock’s campaign fell apart late last month after he claimed that pregnancies resulting from rape are “a gift from God.”

That was actually the rational part of his interview, he made a relatively decent point that Sandy allowed Obama to appear presidential (mainly by being the President) as part of the disaster response alongside Chris Christie and the other governors, while Romney basically disappeared off the airwaves.

 

[belboid]

Bellwether (see what I did there??) county Hillsborough shows Obama 7% ahead, with only 3% of the vote to count.

 

[JTG]

Bloody CNN's results page keeps ballsing up on me

 

[Fez909]

Obama looks to be pulling ahead in Ohio according to the beeb. Game over?

Who's this Brit doofus?
