The Grand Election Thread

[Caliga]

Got the following PM from AR:

Hey, I'm in a place without election news and have such a horrible internet connection I can't visit intrade. I also can't post in the forum for some reason.

Could you post a request for periodic requests for intrade odds?

HITLER 2016

The new orders from the Republican party is that Hitler was in fact a liberal.  Cause he didn't eat meat, and he didn't smoke.

Meh, Big Government type.  Although, he did have an energetic foreign policy.

GERMANY WILL NOT BE SHAPED BY EVENTS

Republican history is a lot like Russian history, it's written in pencil.

And fuck the board is slow tonight.

Intrade is 70% for Obama now, as it has been all day.  I expect it to move radically within the next hour.

Damn I'm failing in the last furlong:

This is getting boring, please just end it, please can we have a quick clean result. 

[Caliga]

Oklahoma: Romney

Illinois: Obama
Maryland: Obama
Delaware: Obama
Connecticut: Obama
Massachusetts: Obama
Rhode Island: Obama
Maine: Obama

[Queequeg]

Looks like we're really competitive in Florida.  Kind of surprising, or at least comforting. 

[Caliga]

District of Columbia: Obama (duh)

[mongers]

Projected;

56 Obama to 40 Romney on 12 states called so far.

[Caliga]

Again, no surprises so far.

[Eddie Teach]

Looks like we're really competitive in Florida.  Kind of surprising, or at least comforting.

Current numbers in Virginia not so much, though I'm sure it'll tighten up.

[Caliga]

Yeah, the Virginia numbers make it looks like Romney will win there in a blowout, but the precincts reporting are still way too low to glean much meaning from that.

[Caliga]

The 'hunting' amendment wins in Kentucky.

[Caliga]

Georgia: Romney

[CountDeMoney]

Looks like we're really competitive in Florida.  Kind of surprising, or at least comforting.

Any results less than 10,000 votes on either side, and it'll be 2000 all over again.  Considering the bullshit involved in the absentee balloting issues, which affect 3% of the total ballots cast in the state, both sides will challenge.

[sbr]

So even though I filled out my vote-by-mail ballot a week or so ago apparently I couldn't be arsed to actually get a stamp on it and get it in the mail so I just had to drop it off at the drop box at the community pool. 

Besides getting to vote for a foreign Muslim I also voted to legalize pot and to legalize privately owned, non-tribal casinos.  What a country.
