US election 2012

Watching Fox causes soul-cancer. Fact!

Seeing what Sarah Palin has become after being on Fox a lot since 2008 (the reanimated zombie corpse of Peggy Bundy) you are probably right.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Romney is currently ahead in both electoral votes and in Virginia; is everyone getting ahead of themselves?

 

[laptop]

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

Er, not quite - see the wonderful SpeculatoMatic® linked above.

He won't

Likely not any of the routes to win, no.

I find her fascinating to watch. I like the way she talks

I like that chart.

Obama closes to a 3 point deficit in Virginia

She definately looks a lot better now Ryan is the VP nominee.

Tbh, I think it's been ever since Tina Fey 'did her' on SNL. She emphasised all the right parts about the way she talks, and since then I just quite enjoy it

New Mexico for Obama

 

[agricola]

Karl Rove looks worryingly animated about what is going on in Ohio.

 

[JTG]

Battlegrounds:

Wisconsin & New Hampshire Obama

Florida, Ohio, Iowa and Colorado Obama is ahead

Virginia & North Carolina Romney ahead

Polls still open in Nevada

 

[Fez909]

Guardian has Florida with 89% of votes in, Obama leading by 46,500 votes.

According to that chart, if Obama wins Florida he cant lose. And from what CNN has up, I dont see how its possible for him to lose - nearly all the red counties have fully declared, or are tiny.

 

[JTG]

Republicans take the Nebraska Senate seat from the Democrats

Why is New Mexico Dem when they're surrounded by some of the strongest Republican states (excepting Colorado)?

Hillsborough County has gone Obama by 7 points

The presenters say because of the large latino population.

Strong Latino vote and college educated whites. Arizona and even Texas may go the same way in a few years

 

[Firky]

My eyes hurt, so many eagles, star spangled banners, red, white and blue.

Bed. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new tomorrow and stuff.

That santa rosa county is a big republican one, theyve had tech issues there apparently. Could wipe out obamas 46k lead in Fla

 

[belboid]

Hillsborough County has gone Obama by 7 points

I really dont see how it is at all possible for Romney to win Florida now, can't understand why it hasn't been called.

 

[JTG]

Less than 70,000 votes in it in NC but 94% counted

 

[Manter]

I am now very bored. But fixated. Sigh

I thought that but the same demographics apply to Texas (now, not in the future), surely?

Try PBS on the Guardian site

Miami Dade still only 70% counted though and heavily Obama

It pretty much will - it'll have a republican lead of 35-50,000. But that'll be wiped out by the remainig votes in Borward and Miami-Dade, which will be humungously - 100,000 more between them - democrat.

Hanging chads.
