hahaha the fox news people won't believe it.

11/6/2012 11:30:23 PM

yay! Obama gonna be so much more effective now that he doesn't have to pander to the rightys. I love Biden but I don't think he will get nominated in 2016.

11/6/2012 11:30:44 PM

he'll still pander to the right.

11/6/2012 11:31:26 PM

^^Durrr, he won't even run.

ABC took a long time, almost as long as NPR did

now I'm waiting to see which states Nate Silver called incorrectly (most likely Florida if any)

11/6/2012 11:31:52 PM

^^ inorite? No way that dude would ever run for President.

^ Yep. I'm thinking Obama takes Florida.

11/6/2012 11:32:28 PM

What's the best place to find the NC state race results?

11/6/2012 11:33:43 PM

LOL, Dick Morris just tweeted that Gov Christie destroyed America.

11/6/2012 11:34:29 PM

That's a relief. Obama is bad, but Romney is worse in most ways I can think of. I like market solutions, but Romney isn't a free market guy, he just talks like one. On foreign policy and "social issues", he's insane.

In economic terms, things will be stagnant or get worse over the next term. Obama can't do much to change it, but the Democrats are going to have a hard time blaming the shitty economy from 2009-2016 on Bush. I expect to see more budget fights and obstructionism in Congress; it'll be one stopgap measure after another, but not a single structural issue will be addressed. From a federal standpoint, there is absolutely nothing to be optimistic about. I'd like to speculate that Obama was "pandering to the right" in his first term, but I don't imagine that much will change. Corporate interests paid for his re-election, and they are expecting a return on their investment.

But, uhh...weed is legal in Colorado. That's cool.

Fox News is all kinds of amazing right now.

11/6/2012 11:38:36 PM

Gary Johnson is listed on the NC State Board of Elections website as having 0.99%.

Didn't he need 2% to keep Libertarians on the ballot in the future?

11/6/2012 11:44:05 PM

http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/results/president/scenarios/

All the swing states except nc are leaning or went Obama.

Also, Nate had fl barely leaning Obama by like 52%, it was the closest state.

Va might be his miss if it goes Obama.

11/6/2012 11:44:32 PM

Jesus CNN, California has basically not reported anything. Romney ain't winning the popular vote. It'll be Obama +1.5-2.

11/6/2012 11:49:28 PM

^^He has VA going to Obama, too.

of course romney is so deluded he is completely confused at the moment

just like most of the conservatives i know

11/6/2012 11:54:07 PM

"Some networks have called the Electoral College for Barack Obama, but it will take longer before the popular vote can officially be called.

That’s because the three Pacific Coast states — California, Oregon and Washington — conduct much of their voting by mail, yielding a lag of several days to a week before all ballots are counted.

As of 11:45 p.m., however, Mr. Obama trailed Mitt Romney by only about 150,000 votes nationally, a margin he should be able to make up on the West Coast."

CNN has been doing everything within their power to make this race look close. They just showed a county by county map to show that this is a center-right country, completely ignoring those little dense blue bubbles around some of the biggest cities in the country.

11/6/2012 11:59:07 PM

Romney leads by 0.4 in Ohio!!!!!!!!

Too bad the only votes left to come in, and there are a lot of them, are all from D counties.

11/7/2012 12:01:02 AM

Romney is going to pull a Teruo Nakamura

What conditions will allow me to say "I told you so?" This seems like a fair place in middle to judge from.

Akin got raped. That is good.

11/7/2012 12:05:22 AM

I'm sure his body will have a way of shutting that whole thing down.

11/7/2012 12:06:51 AM

Romney's such a bitch, he won't concede and it's been almost an hour.

11/7/2012 12:08:46 AM

OH Sec. of State's Results website is still down. Rest of site is up. When same thing happened in '04, Bush was ahead when site came back up

11/7/2012 12:09:31 AM

^^meh. he's probably holding out for the down-ticket races.

he knows he donzo. just taking one for the team at this point.

on the plus side, hopefully this loss hurts paul ryan's political career.

For any elevator enthusiasts... Cherie berry won reelection.

This bald headed republican analyst on cnbc needs to set an example for where the repu.blicans should go

11/7/2012 12:17:06 AM

^^ hahaha

i still sing 'cherie berry' to myself everytime i get in an elevator

11/7/2012 12:17:51 AM

I always voted for Cherie Berry when I lived in NC, because I didn't want to waste paper to replace all those elevator inspection stickers.

Maybe they're going by the Unskewed polls.

11/7/2012 12:29:53 AM

Romney lost Hamilton County in Ohio by 5 points. Time to concede bucko...

11/7/2012 12:36:41 AM

The only thing that could possibly make this night better is if Romney decides to launch a legal attempt to challenge the election.

11/7/2012 12:36:57 AM

love that there are no tweets from Dean Chambers @qstarnews since projecting Mittens with 275 ev's and 52.7% of the popular vote yesterday

UNSKEWED POLLS FTW

11/7/2012 12:40:57 AM

Is there a tally of how many "home states" Mitt Romney won or lost?

11/7/2012 12:42:31 AM

Alright Willard, time to concede.

11/7/2012 12:43:05 AM

he's waiting for everyone to go to bed so he can make his BS, last second speech...

romney concession at 12:55 am

11/7/2012 12:44:03 AM

"It’s pretty rare to cast a ballot that qualifies as genuinely historic. So, if the trend in results late Tuesday holds up, then I and more than 1 million other Marylanders can take special satisfaction in being among the first in the nation to approve equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples by popular referendum."

While not all stations have called it, several have for marriage equality in Maryland and Maine (first time marriage equality has been achieved through popular vote), and Tammy Baldwin as our nation's first openly gay Senator, and the first time we've elected a President who openly supports marriage equality.

11/7/2012 12:55:08 AM

Romney speaking now.

11/7/2012 12:55:50 AM

dude seriously is a robot.

11/7/2012 12:57:52 AM

I thought it was a nice little speech for Romney. He just seems like a robot because he is Mormon.

11/7/2012 1:01:17 AM

nah. He seems like a robot because he re-boots himself and auto-runs the "say_whatever_you_gotta_say_to_get_elected/don'tforgettomakeeyecontact.exe" program at startup


he also has a creepy huge family.
