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

Totally pointless. If you just counted my parents’ house, it would be an exact tie.

If the instantaneous popular vote total goes up and down depending on which states/precincts are reporting, it has to pass through “exact tie” fairly often. Just dumb to focus on it.

Northern Piper I just saw that … Wow!

Obama up on pop vote sez CNN

Especially not Trump. It’ll be more entertaining that way.

Which means nothinging outside the SNL writers’ room.

I hope Key & Peele can turn around a sketch in less than 24 hours, because if so tonight’s “Luther” bit should be fantastic.

The Dems could take the House in '14.

Boy, Fox pundits are getting cranky… think they want to wrap it up and go home or something… now they’re trashing Romney for taking so long to write the concession speech… I’m sure once that is given, they’ll go to covering a cat in a tree rather than broadcast Obama’s declaration of war on the 'ril 'mericans out there.

Florida currently reporting 92%, and Obama is up +56,078

Why do you hate free speech?

Now if we could just tax Christmas commercials earlier than Thanksgiving I think we could get the Chief Justice on board…

It looks like Romney is about to slither out of his hole and concede because family members are appearing in the room.

Poor, poor Mittens… It’s time to put on the brave face and rip the band-aid off. And besides, the rest of the country already knows.

It’s bloody amazing. I look at the colors on the map at HuffPo, then at the colors on Silver’s projected outcomes on 538, and they’re exactly the same!

I’ve had the local university (twice!), honda, a deoderant commercial, even the middle-of-the-night buy a car for $99/mo guy is back on!

Saying at least for the time being or something like that.

Their ratings probably got enough of a jump from arriving happy Dems to balance out the departing despairing FOXbots.

Michele Bachmann is tied at 50% with her challenger.

And I think George Will (or a talking mouth at FOX - I have many windows open now-) was blobiating a few minutes ago the “No Mandate For Obama” point as he lost the popular vote…

Just to put the big salt in the wound, the CNN ticker is reporting that Obama is also winning the popular vote.

VA to Obama… he’s at 303. The only one left if FL.

I think you mean 97% reporting. That’s what New York Times is currently showing - a 0.7% lead by Obama.

NBC reporting Tea Party darlings Michelle Bachmann (MN) and Allen West (FL) are all necked-and-necked up with their Democratic challengers. Bachmann as up by a few hundred, and West down by a few hundred.

Those would be interesting upsets, should they happen.
