Post #365,869 by Another Scott 11/7/12 12:00:45 AM Reply	I think the state calls are based on exit polls. Or if not exit polls, then the results of special precincts that are indicative of the way the state usually goes. The popular vote comes later. I wouldn't worry about that. For example, http://electionresul...?type=PRE&map=CTY has Virginia's results. Romney was leading the whole night until Northern Virginia started reporting. Now Obama has a 53,000 vote lead and it's continuing to grow. But we won't have the quasi-final numbers until tomorrow. Or later. :-/ Still, Rove is making baseless claims. A good night that could have been better if we retook the House too, but a good night. Cheers, Scott.

There's something like a Danny Kaye within that empty suit, I wot. Whew.. certain-seppuku evaded. Or just delayed? Hope the Secret Service keeps-on keeping on; Loonies we gots Loads Of. NOW, BHO--get back to those '08 priorities As. If. You. Meant. Them. Bite some $Financier jugulars / screw the model airplane approach.

His body language and expressions made my skin crawl, but that's the way he is when he gives speeches.... Glad it's nearly over. Just waiting for PBO's speech now. It will be very interesting to see how the next term goes. West and Bachmann are in close races and may lose. Fingers crossed... Cheers, Scott.

Post #365,916 by mmoffitt 11/7/12 2:14:55 PM Reply	Here, in the Heartland of the Tea Baggers... people are depressed. I think I know why. Their news source (Faux, natch) had been telling them the "Evil Main Stream Media Polls are all wrong" and Romney was going to win in a landslide (See here for example: http://www.hollywood...ll-pundits-387264). Like everything else to the Tea Toddler Community, their reliable "fair and balanced" news source was telling them the truth (as always, the "truth" their idiot viewers wanted to hear). Then comes the election and they get a "thumpin'". "Reality Bites" is what I've been saying a lot to my co-workers nearly all of whom voted R. Aside: Interestingly, I chatted with a coworker I've known for about a dozen years on the way in. Here's a blow-by-blow: Me: "Well, at least the pro-rape Senate candidate didn't win." CoW: "Don't talk to me. I'm in mourning." Me: "You didn't want Mourdock to win, did you?" CoW: "No. I didn't want Obama to win." Me: "You didn't want that Bankster to win, did you?" CoW: "Better him than a Muslim who is ruining our country." Me: "Oooooooookay then." And fled as quickly as I could. Lesson: Even if you think you do, you have no idea how fscked up in the head some of your co-workers are.
Post #365,980 by lincoln 11/8/12 4:57:46 PM Reply	Karl had a huge SAD on live tv and I enjoyed every minute of it!!! "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Post #365,914 by hnick 11/7/12 1:10:43 PM Reply	Welp, I did my part... Never have I felt so bad about somebody I voted for winning. Now, when he's blithely shredding civil rights or blowing up civilians in countries we are not at war with, I'm complicit. When he starts a war with Iran in a few months, I'm partially to blame. When he appoints the most conservative Democrats to be on a council with Republicans to come up with another Grand Bargain to destroy my future, I voted for the spineless shitweasel. Oh, well... a thing done has an end. At least the fucking attack ads are over.
