The official election day 2012 thread: 11/6/12

He has CLFS.

Congenital Long Face Syndrome.

Hey! I said that same thing an hour ago! Does John King have a wiretap around here?

So Romney didn’t write a concession speech? I think Mittens is frantically cobbling together some words on cocktail napkins in his hotel room right now.

I would like to come out of retirement for just this one moment to say congratulations to Mr. Obama on his win.

Ladies and gents, it was great entertainment watching you all go play by play.

ah ha! Ha!

So where are the moderate Republicans coming from. Is Chris Christie the savior? Will Marco Rubio back away from tax-hike purity? Getting 30% of the Hispanic vote will no longer work.

Heh, a pundit on Fox right now is saying maybe we need to rethink that whole women’s issues and minority citizens thing.

No kidding! I was beginning* to feel sorry for Romney… you’d think he was the worst option ever the way they’ve all circled around to pick apart every aspect of his campaign. I won’t be surprised if they complain about his hair color.

*only just beginning… I’m still very much in the GO FUCK YOURSELF Romney, Koch(x2) and all the rest of you lame ass 1%ers who thought you could buy the POTUS.

Fox News is still very sad about negative campaigning. I swear I’m not making this up.

He’s consulting Trump about that.

Nah, I think he’s refiling his amended tax return first. Seems he didn’t claim all the deductions for charity that he could have. What an oversight!!

I don’t really care about FL, but I really want VA. Holding the heart of the Confederacy is just so satisfying.

According to CNN (website) Obama is now leading the popular vote.

Did Ohio suddenly swing heavily towards Romney at the end there? I had to take a break, but I’m picking up bits and pieces from other message boards.

He only finished 47% of it.

Just before going to a commercial, Fox said the national popular vote has swung to Obama. Shhhhhhh, don’t let anyone know.

I’m thinking their response will be that you have to have external gonads and an anglo relative withing two generations in order to register to vote.

Christmas commercials!?!?!? We need a SCOTUS decision to limit Christmas commercials to after Thanksgiving. Citizen’s United Against Early Fucking Christmas Commercials!!

Obama has passed Romney in the popular vote according to the CNN thingy.

I said that a while ago. I gave VA, OH and FL to Romney, and said the three most important states for Obama were NV, CO and IA-- he needed to win all of them-- and with NV and IA moving steadily for Obama, it all came down to how CO went. That was the state that I was the most worried about all night. Mentally, I had conceded FL, VA and OH weeks ago, but CO? The fact that it wasn’t getting called was giving me the bubbles.

Obviously, taking OH, VA *or *FL made winning CO moot, and vice versa.
