30% reporting in New Mexico - Obama leading with 8%

[easygoingfemme]

Last presidential election, I woke my daughter up the morning after with pancakes that spelled out "Obama won" . So she asked earlier in the week if I'd do that if he wins again, I said sure.
So, in the spirit of optimism, I've started the batter. We decided to make sweet potato pancakes. I was just mashing the sweet potatoes and we dubbed the bowl, the sweet orange bowl of optimism.
Now if I could stop feeling nauseous I can think about maybe eating pancakes tomorrow.
We decided that if we lose, we'll eat them anyway as we will survive pancakes.

[Medusa]

Looks like Romney will take North Carolina - 85% reporting and he's leading with 3%

[Medusa]

11% reporting in Iowa - Comfortable lead for Obama with 62%

[julieisafemme]

I watched the election returns with my Mom last time. I had come out and my Mom had worked the phones for Prop 8 here in California. It was a bittersweet election in that Obama won and Prop 8 lost. My Mom is still here fighting even with some bad news health wise today. I hope she can see Obama win again! My daughter's homework tonight is to stay up and track the swing states. It is exciting to share this with her.

[Martina]

So the Senate stays Democratic. That's good.

[Martina]

CNN thinks Florida is going to end up for Obama, and that will be it for Romney. This is based on which counties are outstanding.

[Jesse]

Well, my neighbor just took her Romney signs down that she had staked in her yard for the last few weeks! lol

[Martina]

17% of the vote in for Iowa - Obama leading by 17%

Tammy Baldwin D Wisconsin making massive history as first ever openly gay US senator.

Hell yeah, bitches!

[easygoingfemme]

I just read that there are still people waiting in line to vote in Florida, and they have to let them vote if they were in line, so they are apparently not releasing all the numbers yet- which makes sense- but that seems to be part of the hold up.

[DMW]

It's mostly Des Moines according to CNN.



IOWA

87 precints reporting so far in FL. 23 precints still voting ! 300,000 votes still to count in Miami Dade, which is in high favor of Obama. These people are gonna be out until tomorrow morning.

[SaltyButch]

Gosh I'm Canadian and am afraid to go to bed.....I so hope that people get out and vote and do the right thing. A funny thing if Obama was running in Canada he would win by a landslide, we are more involved in American politics than our own. The ramifications of Romney will affect us too. Let's hope that freedom prevails.

[Kobi]

If Scott Browns concession speech goes much longer, I may have to go push him off the stage.

Warren, first female senator from Ma. Cool. Kennedy taking Barney Franks seat.

Romney lost Ma.....this made me laugh. We know who he is. He already fucked us over once. Did he really think we would bend over again?

Anyone know whats happening in the Atkin......legitimate rape race?

Today ~


...was the Mrs Daywalkers' first time Voting.

She was adorable with anxiety, we walked down 2 blocks to vote
(I dropped mah envelope in the lil pink cooler looking drop box),
the whole process including the walk was like 40 minutes.

I voted in mah Voting shirt that I've had for like 20 years,
it has a biggo American Flag on the back and one on the
pocket in the front and it will go back in the closet until
the 2016 Presidential Elections.

:usa:

Only in America will you find Rosanne Barr
above Obama's name on the ballots.

ELIZABETH WARREN ADDRESSES HER SUPPORTERS..


YEAH

and Tim Caine won VA

[Corkey]

I've been asked what the Electoral College means in all of this. It's a numbers game, first one to 270 wins. If you look on the map provided each state gets so many college votes, the combination of each gets the candidates to the 270 needed to win. I'm only using MSNBC's #s because I want to keep track of each state as they come in. Going back n forth between sources will screw me up.

The way it is looking If the President wins FL it could be game over.


FL is now 94 % reporting with Obama 49.8 to 49.3

Fl has 29 electoral votes and wow Tx has 38 and CA 55! CA goes to Obama, TX to Romney. As it is basically Romney has to win FL, and most of the other states. Looking more optimistic for Obama!

[Martina]

John King says Romney getting to 270 electoral votes is almost impossible and certainly improbable.

[Corkey]

275-203 OBAMA!!!!

[durrrrrrrr]

anyone else feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off your shoulders?

[ruffryder]

Yup Obama wins OH and they are calling it Obama for 4 more years!

In this case that may have brought different results. Romney still leads in the popular vote.

I think she wants to relax and enjoy. I think she had a load of stress on her.
By the way...she was brought up a republican. and learned and fought against her
parents and others etc...and used her own mind to conclude what was right.

Fox is now saying that the election was called too soon and that Romney could still win Ohio since the vote is so close and "the provisional votes have not been counted yet and other states could be in question like Florida and it would be an automatic recount".

Nooooo!

Gov. Christie will run in 2016 barring a scandal or some such.

-- this was in response to the point that Romney will be 69 next time. Christie is definitely the GOP lead guy now, esp with Sandy.

yeah hypothetically if you count the remaining states to Romney that leaves 265 Obama to Romney 270. But I thought WI went to the President? Maybe it is too early to call. sooo weird! especially looking at this map.

Obama just also took Nevada putting him at 271. so that should seal the deal.

I bet earlier today that Obama would win but that Romney's camp would not concede with dignity and would try to hold the celebration hostage.

[Gráinne]

Obama taking Virginia after all! My house will be immaculate, but I'll be a wreck tomorrow.

[DMW]

Time to go to the BBC

[Sun]

What has happened? Have we figured out how to unrig their machines?
Damn that is awesome...

They have nothing for Romney to exploit or export and lots of women, young adults and Latino/a's who went to the polls. That's what happened! They did not want to be back in the 1950's

[Martina]

I just felt myself take a deep, relaxed breath. Not sure when last I breathed one of those.

Happy Day!

I dont know why these Motherfuckers are whining - Obama has been called the winner for Nevada, Colorado, and even Virginia....and it looks like he is going to take Florida too so this bullshit they are pulling is like complaining about a dirty diaper while sitting on a mountain of shit!

[Corkey]

Robme is a sore looser, and so is the RNC. I won't even give breath to Faux Noise.

[DapperButch]

They'll concede. They're just keeping us up.

I don't know...it WAS too easy. They just HAVE to fuck with us, don't they? I don't think they don't know how NOT to.

[Uli]

The first time Romney hasn't flip flopped: he's staying an asshole right to the end.

[Martina]

He does not need Ohio or Florida if he gets Colorado, which he is. Right, Bulldog? Surely when CO is called, they'll concede.

Or was it CO and VA? Well he's getting both.

[Sun]

Viva Obama!

I want a screen shot of that headline

[girl_dee]

There are so many of us north of the border that have been watching and waiting throughout the election and praying for the best possible results... that Obama would win.

I am at work tonight and every computer and every media source has been on the watch to find out the results. I cannot imagine how nerve wracking it has been for all of you.

Yes especially for us Americans in Canada! i wanna wake the whole neighborhood up!

[girl_dee]

I don't know...it WAS too easy. They just HAVE to fuck with us, don't they? I don't think they don't know how NOT to.

Yes, if Obama wins CO he doesn't need OH, FLA and VA. Obama will be at 272 and Romney will be at 264 (includes Alaska)

[Medusa]

I just received this email from the campaign:



Angie --

I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.

I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.

You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.

I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.

But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.

Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.

There's a lot more work to do.

But for right now: Thank you.

Barack

[Gráinne]

It wasn't women, Latinos, blacks or even the retiring baby boomers who decided this election. To some extent, it was all of them. And it was a girl named Sandy in a stage production directed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), with an assist from New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg (I) that helped reelect President Barack Obama.

After months of finger-pointing, fact-checking and debates, it took floodwaters and raging winds, killing at least 111 people and knocking out power to millions, to set the election's final course.

The storm united a country that stepped up to aid its citizens. It was on the storm's center stage that the nation finally saw evidence of consensus and bipartisanship that Obama has been working so futilely for four years to achieve. And much to the nation's surprise, the prized reach-across-the-aisle moment featured the most ferocious Republican lion of them all, Chris Christie.

Call Christie what you will, question his own ambitious motives, tell him he needs to go on a diet. Whatever. He became Tony Soprano on a good day -- a tough-talking teddy bear of a guy who gave comfort to those in need and wouldn't take no for an answer. He let the world know how Obama gave him his direct phone number and told him to use it anytime. He stood up to GOP party puppeteers and wouldn't give Mitt Romney a chance for a photo op -- Christie was no longer interested in playing presidential politics when the lives of the people of his state were turned so upside-down, he said. And when he publicly praised Obama for his response to the storm's victims, it was a pin stuck in a Romney voodoo doll for all the nation to see.

Romneys Wikipedia page has already been updated stating that he lost the election to Obama in 2012.

Bad news for Arizona. The most vile racist hateful Sheriff in the West was just re elected in Maricopa County. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the guy who runs "Tent City" where temps top 120 degrees in the summer and people die. Mostly women. Innocent people who are awaiting trail or just happened to not have a green card or visa on them when they get pulled over. This man is a criminal. A murderer. And $8 Million came in to run his campaign, 97% of it from out of state. The guy spent $100,000 sending people to Hawaii to look for Obama's birth certificate while the state dropped organ donor programs and let people die because they had no money. He raids the homes of immigrants looking for people with no papers and deports them within 12 hours. This includes children. His "civilian militia" is suspected of having gunned down innocent people in the desert. Only bodies were found.

So America...in some of these lost forgotten places in the South..we are still in the 1950's...racism and hate still prevail..and a lot of people need someone to care. Do me a favor folks and ask our President to do something about Arizona and Sheriff Joe. A lot of good people are grieving tonight.

Thanks

[MissItalianDiva]

Really this election only further proved Mittens does not understand simple arithmetic...Obama knew what counties to hit hard and did so. Glad we again are electing a president who can do math.

Dont know if anyone's mentioned this, but for those interested, with a little over 80% of votes counted, marriage equality and the legalization of MJ are both leading here in WA. In fact, the news here is calling the legalization of MJ a win, but they wont call marriage equality just yet.

According to my FB, marriage equality passed in both Maine and Maryland. :)

Just as I said that Jerry Brown got on NBC and says he's optimistic, that the early votes are absentee which are more conservative.

Ginsburg will probably retire. Anyone else that might (or needs to)?

I think Justice Beyer will retire too. I wish Thomas Clarence would retire, but he won't. He is still young considering the average age of the justices and too ignorant to find a well paying job that is for a lifetime.

I am not a fan of Justice Antonin Scalia but he runs circles around Thomas Clarence. Justice Scalia may consider retirement.

When he arrests men he has them stripped down and makes them wear pink boxer shorts and tshirts. No shit. This is supposed to emasculate them. He is a moron. He serves them rotten food. I could go on and on but you get the picture. The Feds are investigating him but so far nada. Really thought he was going out tonight.

Last total I see on electoral is 303-203.

Obama is even ahead on the popular vote.
