BNO News has Biden at 212.

BNO News has Biden at 212.

The Beano is doing Politics now?

If it comes down to counting PA postal votes, there is not a security service in the world strong enough to stop them being ashes before they see a count.

Everyone is pissed. But not in the American sense.

Stone cold sober here. But I'll be starting work in a bit so probably a good job.

 

[Ted Striker]

To be fair, that kind of analysis is way beyond the broadcasters, who are still rabbit-in-the-headlights with only the most basic of information and insight trying to take it all in.

(Unlike me, clearly keeping my composure nicely, even despite the student level of empty cans around me)

 

[David Clapson]

Republicans already blaming John McCain's widow for their defeat in Az.

 

[bimble]

this is just grim as fuck.

 

[frogwoman]

Dont think most people devoting the last few months to the Biden or Trump campaigns would be cracking out champagne right now unless it's necking it down in front of the tv in a fit of nerves or adding it to their tea or something dialectician

 

[Lord Camomile]

CNN barely hiding their desire for Biden to win.

Which, y'know, I don't blame 'em, it's just curious to see it so clear (especially for me, as I often don't pickup on stuff like this ).

 

[David Clapson]

The Beano is doing Politics now?

I think it's just one Dutch guy. So probably less reliable than Beano. Or even Dandy.

 

[David Clapson]

Nate Cohn of the NYT says that late counting of postal votes means Biden still has a chance in NC and Ga. This is mad. We may have to drink until Saturday. https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn

Yep, been brazen tonight (not least of all not calling Florida). I watch it fairly frequently Don Lemon is a good anchor, but it's hard to argue against the accusation it's basically the Fox of the left.

And Wolf Blitz is, again, the voice of doom I will associate with very dark events.

 

[David Clapson]

Fox has called Texas for Trump.

I bet Hilary is probably going through a fair range of emotions (gins) tonight.

That said, this would be sewn up already for Biden if it wasn't for her emails....

 

[Ted Striker]

Fox has called Texas for Trump.

And Dennis the Menace?

 

[bimble]

It's more likely now than expected that we wont have a result for days right?

He's been winning the battle of the Nates tonight.

 

[belboid]

Fox has called Texas for Trump.

And Ohio

Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin should all declare today - if they go to Biden as they're predicted to, then we'll know the result by mid afternoon.

Depends on what you mean by result. If Arizona does go for Biden that would really hit Trump's chances, but PA result that will probably clinch things will take a while and final final results will not be know for days.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Gah, all the American streams are giving up

"Oh, get some rest guys, it's like, midnight.." Fuck off, it's 5 in the bloody morning here, you quitters

Biden could very conceivably reach 270/1 without needing PA to clinch it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

This is like supporting England in almost any sport; an opponent they should beat comfortably, and yet they crawl to an uninspiring (possible) win.

The Democrats are the England of politics.

 

[David Clapson]

Oregon has decriminalised heroin, meth and everything else for personal use.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Biden could very conceivably reach 270/1 without needing PA to clinch it.

Ok, that's not like England at all; don't think we've got to 270/1 since the days of Cook.

(I actually have no idea, don't follow cricket much, I'm just really tired and didn't want to leave low hanging fruit on the tree)

 

[Dogsauce]

Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin should all declare today - if they go to Biden as they're predicted to, then we'll know the result by mid afternoon.

how recent are those predictions?

 

[killer b]

Crikey. Well - whatever the final result, it looks like hopeless cynicism called it better than more or less the entire polling industry.

You probably should have gone with Strauss instead of Cook.
