Hats off to the POTUS and his campaign. I do not blame Romney for the loss I blame Trump, the birthers, the assholes who got away from the issues. P

romney may very well get more votes tonight and lose the election like what happened 12 years ago. unreal how divided this country is.
It's gonna be close but nothing from California yet
cali's polls closed an hour and a half ago. these numbers include whatever portion of that state has reported thus far. i think it's at 74% of the total country right now.

Yeah. It would be kind of funny if Romney wins the popular vote. All the people with strong opinions on the Bush/Gore election either way are going to be rethinking their stances on the EC.

obama will almost certainly win it. but it will be about as close at it gets.

Yeah, nothing really being reported all that much yet though. The whole west coast is his. It will be close but it looks like Obama will win both votes.

Dude said he didn't write a concession speech. Motherfucker is such a bitter prick, he has no interest in giving this speech. I can't fucking wait. If I were Obama, I would call him up.
Yes, it was reported that he did not write one. Obama prepared a victory and concession speech. I do not think Romney has an ounce of humility in his entire body.
Politics aside, Romney just seems like one of those guys who has never grown up. He's always been able to buy whatever he wants so when he doesn't get it, he pouts and throws a fit. He's been chasing this dream for a very long time and fact of the matter is, no one wants him. Hell the Republicans didn't even want him for a very long time and the only reason they got behind him was less because they agreed with what he stood for (which has changed a million times in the last couple months), but because they despise the guy in office and he was the best shot they had because the other candidates were complete nut jobs.
Agreed.
Hearts and thoughts they fade....
fade away...

Yeah the poular vote is close, just started favoring Obama and he will probably pull away, but it's nothing like the electoral vote count. Meanwhile looking like republicans will have won more governor seats than they have for awhile, like 30 right now.
And just as I was gonna buy gold at $1650 wow, look at that price taking off. Presidency stays the same, senate stays the same, house stays the same, I would love some hope and change but all we have is divide and conquer from our leaders.
Perhaps now, if nothing else, Obama can be held accountable for the mess he inherits ... from himself.

Sullivan is usually pretty dramatic and doesn't fail tonight, obvoiously
It's been a long long slog these past five years of backing the skinny guy with the funny name. But this election, to my mind, is immensely more important than the breakthrough of 2008, after the catastrophe of Bush-Cheney. What it has done is rip open the complete epistemic closure on the Republican right about what America now is. It has revealed that Fox News, Drudge, and the rest have been engaged in a massive propaganda campaign to create an alternative reality and get the rest of us to go along.
But this president has never been a radical; he has always been a moderate; he has been immensely skilled at foreign policy, ended one war and won another, killed Osama bin Laden and saved the American auto industry, deflected a Second Great Depression and initated universal access to healthcare. He has presided over a civil rights revolution and the beginning of the end of prohibition of marijuana. He has created the new and durable coalition that was once Karl Rove's dream.
Americans saw this. They were not fooled. And they made the right call, as they usually do. What was defeated tonight was not just Romney, a hollow cynic, but a whole mountain of mendacity and delusion. That sound you hear is the cognitive dissonance ringing in the ears of ideologues and cynics. Any true conservative longs for that sound, the sound of reality arriving to pierce through fantasy and fanaticism.
We are the ones we have been waiting for. And now we have entrenched it deeply in the history of America and the world. That matters. May the next four years make it matter even more.

30% or so.
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Any thoughts about the fact that Obama currently has 303 to Romney's 203 EC yet in the popular vote, O leads R by only 30 some thousand?
gotta be the same dopes who were dancing on the convention floor a couple months ago
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
welcome to present day america.
It happens... Obama just won the correct states and got the electoral votes.
And just as I was gonna buy gold at $1650 wow, look at that price taking off. Presidency stays the same, senate stays the same, house stays the same, I would love some hope and change but all we have is divide and conquer from our leaders.
Perhaps now, if nothing else, Obama can be held accountable for the mess he inherits ... from himself.
And yet this is not something new.
