The Grand Election Thread

[garbon]

My Twitterfeed's now equally divided between cheerful liberals, glum conservatives and all uniting in gleefully mocking Dick Morris

Someone just retweeted Michael Moore. I'm no longer following them.

The smugness is strong with that one democrat on Fox News.

Suspenders guy? Beckel is old school Democrat.

Minnesota: Obama

Florida should be called Obama, and the election. I think the pundits are just not wanting to end their night...all the remaining counties are heavily Democrat so there is really no reason to assume Obama doesn't win Florida and the election. At that point it matters not at all how close the Ohio vote gets, or whether Romney wins/loses Virginia and North Carolina. Although really North Carolina is done, it's like 86% in with a 80,000 Romney lead.

There's more than one? I've only been watching it for 20 minutes, the CBS feed got very boring. Watching FOX trying to avoid defeat is more fun.

I was thinking about the blond girl who worked for Al Gore.

I'm intrigued by the popularity of striped ties in the US.  In the UK most go for single blocks of colour.

I think the specter of 2000 hangs too heavy 12 years later, a lot of these states would have already been called back in the day. But people are so afraid of looking wrong they wait until a ridiculous surety is present before calling a state.

California: Obama
Washington: Obama
Hawaii: Obama

Watching BBC America's coverage is marginally as exciting as watching Premier League results.  Maybe because it's 4am over there, and they're all pretty much pooped by now.

CBS just called NC for Romney.

It's a hangover from the 50s and early 60s, at the time stripped ties were popular in the UK.
