Elections 2012: BFP Watch Party

alexri · 11-07-2012, 01:27 AM

I couldn't not look anymore. I couldn't sleep. I got up, and turned on the computer just in time to catch the news that Romney accepted defeat.

Great job, Maine and Maryland. We won't know Washington and Minnesota until later.

So glad to see the "legitimate rape" and "god's will rape pregnancy" people lose.

So glad to say 4 more years.

West Virginia elects its first openly gay legislator.

Massachusetts elects its first female senator.

Also elected to the US Senate for the first time, tonight: A gay woman, an Asian-American woman and a disabled woman.

And, the first openly pansexual legislator, Mary Gonzalez from Texas.

A record voter turnout in most states.

Now to try and fall back asleep...

It has been announced that both Washington and Minnesota are victorius as well! The Marriage Amendment in MN was struck down and same-sex marriage is now legal in Washington!!!!!

You can stop pinching yourself!
Obama finished up with 97 more electoral votes than Romney. Unless there were more mass troubles with voting booths than we were made aware of, there isn't anything I can see that would warrant a re-count on this one.

Whew!!!

Was just watching his acceptance speech.

"the election four years ago wasn't about me, it was about you"

Call me cynical but I have an uneasy feeling that something slimy is in the works. After the 2008 election the US House Districts here in NC were redrawn to bring more Republicans into predominately Democratic districts to water them down enough so more Republicans will be elected.
