US election 2012

Fox are about to get one of their hacks - who called the Ohio election for Obama - to debate their decision to call it with Karl Rove, who disagrees with that call.

This may be hilarious, and so worth watching.

Which fox link are you watching? I'm watching this one but yours seem more entertaining http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2012-election-results/

CNN and MSNBC have projected seats as 274 for Obama, Fox have him at 275.

Maths.

Crazy that people have to spend hours waiting to vote - Billions spent on the campaign - and the voting takes fucking hours - craziness

The Fox News channel on Sky (509).

They now have started showing their "Fox Extra" filler pieces, specifically one where Sheppard Smith interviews Chris Wallace about how many times he eats chicken.

Rove is still digging.

Nevada called for Obama

Romney hasn't conceded yet...

 

[Dandred]

I want to see Rove!!!

 

[Vintage Paw]

You tell 'em, Karl.

He's really crunching them numbers.

(Watching on 509 too.)

Popular vote tied at 49% each so far. Expect that to move Obama's way once the California totals stack up

Reading this thread is making me wish I had Fox news (and I never thought I'd say that!)

I want this to be true more than anything else ever:

I've just cancelled my sub because I barely ever watch telly at all now. I'm going to be bereft without Fox to watch though in 4 years time, or should there be some massive disaster in the US that requires a right-wing bent to it.

It all will all be on utube later to enjoy at leisure, not worth going to bed now is it?

No idea. Someone just posted the image to me as is, from tumblr.

Romney's within 1500 votes in Ohio btw. But it's Cleveland and Cincinatti where the uncounted votes lie so basically Obama has definitely won it

 

[Manter]

Makes sense, cheers.

One thing I've wondered: if the networks call it based on the projected count, and the 'loser' concedes. What happens if the count comes out in favour of the loser? Is it too late because he/she conceded?

Each camp has pollsters, statisticians, tacticians etc who have run every scenario in the book- and are running models now- so that doesn't happen. Thus no concession yet.... It is still not mathematically impossible for Romney to win.

That is what the Fox drones were trying to tell Rove - live on television - but he didnt listen to them.

Recreational Marijuana use voted in in Colorado and somewhere else!

Oh Myyy...

Colorado has legalised pot.

Chris Christie is obviously a nonperson in Republican circles now. The heavily dyed Charles Krauthammer just listed loads of people who might run in 2016, the New Jersey governor was not mentioned.

Obama lead increasing slightly in Virginia

I have retired to bed, but 5Live are picking up on Rove's argument and referencing the previous Bush elections.

Apparently ABC "in particular" are calling it for Obama. How are they calling it more than others?
