I'm now in the middle of a dilemma... Stay in Minnesnowda or move to the drug states.
God damn it.
And of course, Obama won. Because Romney was a bit wishy-washy and abrasive, most likely... I hope the 'Bomster gets a bit more done this term than he did last. My state's Marriage amendment is basically a dead tie, same with our voter ID amendment. I have to wait for results in the morning. :-\

Where do the Republicans find these people?
Congratulations Mr. Obama.
Who cares what Mr. Trump thinks? What was his share of the popular vote?
Why is Florida so slow?

Someone needs to explain to The Donald that it's people like himself and Romney the rest of the world laughs at.
As a Canadian who keeps an eye on US politics, I'm obviously glad the election went the way it did. What I don't really understand is how it's possible for it ever to have been close, even in the college (let alone for the popular vote to be essentially even and if anything slightly in Romney's favour).
I mean... I can't believe that 50% of Americans, or even 50% of Americans who give enough shits to get out and vote, are stupid or evil. Certainly most of the ones I met during my five years living there weren't, and that was in Texas (albeit mostly Rice University students and faculty who probably aren't representative of Texans in general). Yet I find it even more unbelievable that anyone who is not stupid or evil could vote for the Republican party in its present form. Help me out here...

Because it is so close there. They use a combination os exit polls (askign people who they voted for afte rthey vote) and the incomign results to predict winners before a state has reported 100%. As votes come in from precincts they see how they align with what they predicted, and the better the align and the bigger the diff between canidates the sooner they can call it. So i NYS was called before even 1% of the vote was in, because it was clear it was going that way. In Fl. the race is close and the votes not counted are not east to predict, so they are left waiting for the actual count to come in.

Mitt's concession speech was actually pretty thoughtful and well said.
Insincere as all getout, but you can't have everything...
