2012 Presidential election results: Obama wins!

[classy]

It looks like Obama is going to take Ohio and I am guessing Florida too.

 

[cirrrocco]

FL 70% in and only major county left is Miami Dade. It is a blue county. Things looking very good for Obama

There is also Collier county at 0 percent. Should probably go red.

Exit poll shows joblessness, high prices top worries; half still blame Bush instead of Obama - AP

 

[TraumaRN]

North Carolina looking quite close still.

I find it hilarious mcmahon lost so soon, and spent soooo much of her own money in the process.


Nice to see a couple independents winning seats too!

Watching the CBC. The two American ladies who are tonight's pundits (one Democrat, one moderate Republican (born Canadian)) both lament the very fact that abortion was an issue at all in this day and age. They both agree the election should be about the economy and "jobs jobs jobs" not turning the social clock back 50 years for women's rights. The moderate Republican hopes that if the GOP loses, the party will use this opportunity to reclaim its essence away from the radical socioregressive fundie religious fringe who exert in her opinion an undue and deleterious influence.

when you look at the % of reporting from red counties they are much higher than blue and Obama is still ahead. I'm thinking Obama takes FL and its all she wrote, good news is we can go to bed early.

Looks like Romney is doing pretty good in VA.

Not so great in FL. Way worse in OH.

Matters not. He needs to win ALL the swing states and also take one of Obamas states.
Thats not likely to happen.
I dont even know why people get all bent out of shape for this election. Obama is going to win.

Miami dade county in 2008 had total votes of about 900K votes with a 58 - 41 [D/R] split. As of now we have about 320K votes in . Turnout I am guessing this year would be more than 1Million. so we have about another 700K votes and when split at 55 - 45 , that's a whole lot of numbers for Obama.

I'm thinking we will have a winner within an hour by 10 pm eastern time.
Remember California, Washington state and Oregon are 74 votes for Obama.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Kansas called for Romney! I'm stunned! This changes everything...

 

[Farang]

Oh yea, looking at Miami-Dade and Broward counties at 1% and 24% reporting respectively, where Obama is already killing it, and are guaranteed blue counties, he's going to carry Florida.

I'm surpised they can get the votes counted so fast using horse and buggys.

 

[DrewSG3]

Obama getting 66% of the jewish vote in Florida..

 

[Farang]

The way Chuck Todd is talking.. it's game over. He's only talking about how things are not going as Romney's campaign predicted

Well, it's a lot easier given that only the landed gentry can vote.

NBC calls Massachusetts senate for Elizabeth Warren

Ever see that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums when they play "Needle in the Hay" by Elliott Smith? Yeah.

Romney just took the lead in Florida. My $5 is slipping away.
