 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Yeah, as it stands 6 minutes in:
Obama has Vermont, Romney has Kentucky and Indiana.
3 votes for O, 19 for Mittens.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
I'm more worked up for your election than I ever am for one in Canada.

I'm not boarding for awhile -- will have internet/ tv on board, but probably won't be tasking between both. If you quote my post, you can keep the format...or maybe one of the admins can adjust the thread to give you the first post?

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Finally voted after work.
I think it's funny when they show a 0% precinct reporting graphic...

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Ohio exit poll: 52/48 women/men split, and Obama is winning among women 55 to 43, while losing men by just 46/52. Aggregate would be Obama 50.68% to 47.32%.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
NC exit polls: women/men 55:45, women - 52/47 Obama, men - 46/51. Aggregate: 49.3 - 48.8 Obama. If NC is this close, even if Obama loses, it spells trouble for Romney.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
The Exit polls look good for Obama. Hopefully, we will get some solid numbers from there soon.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Was just looking over the Virginia county results (thus far) vis-a-vis 2008...does look like an uptick in 'Red' support in the predictably-Red counties...but maybe not enough to overcome a 6% deficit

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
At around this time four years ago, it was roughly 56% McCain in VA.
North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Georgia remain too close to call.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
I can tell graphics are just going to be horrible, in particular CBS' swing vote floor graphic which moves swing states from likely, leaning, and in the middle.
However, Scott Pelley will make it all watchable. Though I kind of want to see Fox News reaction when Romney loses.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Shepard Smith is probably going to take the lead on the FOX coverage, no?
Don't jinx it!!!

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
Georgia called for Romney. A much quicker call than in 2008.

 Re: 2012 ELECTION DISCUSSION
I laugh at all these projected wins right when the polls close and 0% of the vote is in. I know there are exit polls and stuff like that but still...
