Can't imagine what it must be like to lose this race. "I'm gonna be president, I'm gonna be preside... ah nuts".

That's gonna be a hell of a reality check in the morning Has any candidate from the main two parties run twice (as their party's nomination, not just in the primary)? Have the feeling Nixon or Reagan lost before they won?

Santa Rosa (0% counted) is overwhelmingly Republican. But tiny, so fuck 'em (except dont, cos its where the army's based)

Nixon lost in 1960. Thomas Dewey ran and lost twice. There have been others

Nixon lost to JFK in 1960, Reagan was IIRC an independent candidate and not the official Republican.

The beeb and it's guests are having a bad time talking about working class,middle class and blue collar workers.I expect they'll self destruct soonish.

In the Panhandle as well

Figured as much. Ballsy. Or deluded...

O rly? Didn't know that about Reagan.

Not quite the same thing but Walter Mondale lost as VP to Reagan in 1980 and then as Presidential nominee in 1984 (beaten out of sight in fact - he only carried one state plus DC I think?)

That is a speculators wet dream.

Sorry, my IIRC was obviously wrong, he was a defeated primary candidate in 1976 for the Republican nomination.

 

[JTG]

BO over 37,000 up in Florida now

 

[belboid]

Louise Mensch has called it for Obama.

Bit bloody late, love

"We are becoming a more brown country", says someone on Fox.

 

[JTG]

PPP polling (Democrat leaning) reckon NC will go Romney by 1 or 2%

Republicans hold the HoR. No surprise

 

[belboid]

"We are becoming a more brown country"

covered in shit

 

[agricola]

Todd Akin has been battered in the Missouri senate election, currently he is behind by 15%.

Watching Fox causes soul-cancer. Fact!

Oh Ah well, easy come, easy go.

 

[JTG]

Romney HAS to win each of Florida, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado.

He won't

 

[audiotech]

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has defeated Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) for Missouri’s senate seat, NBC projects:
Akin got himself in trouble earlier this election cycle for saying women who are victims of “legitimate rape” don’t get pregnant because “the body has a way to shut the whole thing down.”

 

[JTG]

Missouri has found a way of shutting Todd Akin down

 

[Lord Camomile]

Romney HAS to win each of Florida, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado.

He won't

Are you not aware he possesses magic pants?

 

[marty21]

fell asleep on the sofa dreamt that Romney won Ohio 52% to 48% pleased that this was merely a dream - watching BBC on the telly and Fox news on the laptop - Fox commentators seem a bit downbeat -
