Watching the run up to the election and vote counting soon....

I might just go to bed now, as nit much is happening...

Lmao... screw it, I will watch until the end


So the winner then, who will it be

Me I personal do not care. As it has no effect on me

Well i'm just saying, you live in UK? Its likly to run deep into the night here. I'd put money on Ohio not getting called til 1:00 AM East Coast time, so what makes that 7 or 8 AM there. might get some shut eye and make it an early morning, they might not have called it yet.

Vote count should be started in a few minutes.

Democrats are just slow counters.

Where did you get that count by the way?

[Valefor]

I'm trying to stay awake until about 3am to watch this.

The BBC has very good coverage of all the statistics:

yahoo, and fox. Romney was ahead in fla, 50/49, now Obama flipped those same numbers lol. It's really early... 18% counted... in my state, SC, Obama has 86%, it's >1% though. So, we'll see how it goes. After all this time, the best part is the counting lol.

My Predictions for the election: Obama will win both Ohio and Florida and it will be called at 12:00 am EDT. Of course since the start I believed Mittens would lose to Obama and I give him near 0% of winning. This is barring any funny business which could and has happened.

Something that I want to see when Romney loses is him going off the rails and just blows up. The loser never does this (including federal elections) and since Romney has been cool as a cucumber this whole time it would be extremely funny for him to go insane. I highly doubt he will be running for anything after this or going back to work so he doesn't have to put on a brave face. Come on Rodme, do it!!

[F34R]

right now

OH 57 to 42 Romney
FLA 51 to 48 Obama

[-Kwesnoth-]

right now

OH 57 to 42 Romney
FLA 51 to 48 Obama

Romney looks to have a pretty good hold on Ohio, but its hard to call this early.

[$Greatness$]

Sup guys!

I would like a standing ovation because I voted for the first time today! I voted for...

Obama because he looks like The Rock

But I wouldn't mind seeing the nWo get into the White House. It would be a complete Heel turn against America.

Well since 1890s Vigo County, IN has predicted the presidential election with its own results with only two exceptions (Dewey v. truman...and everybody thought dewey won lol) anywho, since it has such a strong track record i decided to look it up since IN polls close so early. 99% of precincts reporting in Vigo...49% to 49%. VIGO PREDICTS NOTHING

Random Trivia rep question:

I'd guess Romney.

Current status.

Romney leading 65 to 64. So its close.

[Morganator]

Romney is leading 88 to 78. It's a pretty close race. I'm just wondering how many others and undecideds there really are.

[Noxia]

I guess Mitt isn't a common name. I've never heard anyone called that before Romney.

[Morganator]

154 to 123 in Romney's favor. Obama looks set to take Ohio.

[DeviousOne]

Honestly kinda shock at FL numbers favoring romney smh

[Silver_Knight]

That's what i originally thought but it said Obama. Rep anyways...

[Equinoqs]

When I voted, I wrote-in my own name for 5 of the offices, including my state's governor, U.S. senator & assessor. That should tell you how I felt about the options in this election. On the plus side, I have a minute chance of becoming governor, senator or assessor.

Well, looking at your avatar I would pretty much expect you to support a Marxist.


Fact is, after adding $5,1 Trillion dollars in debt in just 4 years, the US cannot afford another 4 years of Obama.




For my fellow Americans, let me spell it out for you.

You owe the US government $16,558.41 to pay for Obama's spending to date. Each and every person in your house also owes the same amount. Sooner or later the US government is going to want this money, and guess what they are going to do to collect it?

RAISE YOUR TAXES.


It's inevitable. The only other alternative is to go bankrupt. When you're already up to your eyeballs in debt, spending more money at twice the rate is NEVER going to make things better. It's basic economics. You can't borrow enough money to spend your way out of debt. It's just not possible.

Because an avatar says everything about you..... And it says viva la resolution. It's a play on words.

Also yeah he's going to raise taxes but as you pointed out you have fuck loads of debts so need to be paid off. But then again I'm from a country that only just lowered the 50% tax rate on higher earnings, and thought that decision was wrong.

Winning a political argument on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics...you get the gold medal, but you're still retarded.
