Even if Romney wins I don't see how anyone can attack Nate Silver. He hasn't predicted anything, all he's done is calculated the statistical probabilities for each candidate winning. If Romney wins Silver can say yeah, that happened within the 9% probability my model accounted for. But I guess that won't make much difference to all the partisans out there attacking him already for using math.

It's fun seeing the exact same argument in politics that have been happening years ago in sports with all the baseball prospectus guys and what not. Really makes me wish that a basic statistics class was required in US high schools, especially since it's honestly one of the more applicable forms of math regardless of your future career.

Did this happen anywhere else other than Pennsylvania?

I had to work today and didn't get to vote and came home and saw this video of a machine that had to be put down in Pennsylvania. Has there been any other odd stuff captured by voters this election? If so who ever wins there will be some controversy.

 

[fse]

Just got done voting in California.
+1 Gary Johnson
*eagle cry*

 

[aronnov reborn]

what a nerve racking night this will be..

 

[Wiz]

No problem guys!!

 

[Anticitizen One]

Obama is loosing bad in Indiana and Kentucky. It's all over guys

 

[kassatsu]

Is CNN not going to be streaming their coverage? Stingy fucks.

They are if you have cable. that is how i am watching it away from home.

You have to enter your details.

 

[DarkFlow]

You know DC is below the Mason-Dixon line, right?

Yes lol. But living in sc for a year. When I think of the south, I think of that. I'll just shut up now.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Fox News is already spinning and melting and no state has even been called yet

true desperation is delicious in this context

A lot of people don't talk to exit poll guys remember!!!!

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Anyone able to get the Wall Street Journal Live app working on AppleTV?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

EDIT: Never mind, found a better thread to ask in.

 

[Donthizz#]

Oh good, Current TV is covering the election.

is that Cenk guy on.. I like him..

My hat's off to you. I can't stomach it. Not even for the laughs.

 

[Kusagari]

The swing on Indiana from 08 to this election is going to be ridiculous.

haha yeah. Hilarious Brit Hume is just like a walking absurdity.

My hat's off to you. I can't stomach it. Not even for the laughs.

I got Al Jazeera and CSPAN on for "balance"

Two networks are needed to balance Fox News ridiculousness

 

[Hitokage]

what's happening to GAF mods?

 

[Kingbrave]

Fine, they are the south. I just think of them as more of the North east since dc is close.

Come visit us in Soutwest Virginia if you want to see some nice southern hillbillies...or the klan...or incest...or...

 

[Stumpokapow]

Yes lol. But living in sc for a year. When I think of the south, I think of that. I'll just shut up now.

We're just teasing you, I don't think of Virginia as geographically south even though ideologically it was part of the South

Happens a lot. They had like 15 cases of it up in Colorado going the opposite way where Romney would light up Obama. Colorado says its a calibration issue. Amazing how Nintendo touchscreens can stay calibrated so well but voting machines go to shit every election.

I'M OVERWHELMED WITH ELECTORAL EMOTION

 

[SolarPowered]

Are there going to be any particular live streams from big channels we can check out on the net? I don't have cable and I kinda want to check out the excitement and all.

Here's a good PBS stream for anyone who doesn't want any BS tonight: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/

Awesome

I want as many of these streams as possible. Tonight might be the one night I would tune into Fox news.

yeah, brit hume looks to be in for a long night based on his last outburst

 

[explodet]

Oh no, Obama didnt play basketball today.

He's gonna lose.

So looks like he did!

30 minutes...

I'm switching to Fox the minute this thing starts to tilt Obama's way.

msnbc stream is up..

 

[Deified Data]

Oh good, Current TV is covering the election.

That's where I'm parking it.

is that Cenk guy on.. I like him..

He leads all of their major election coverage.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Donnelly outperforming Obama by 6% so far.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Rachel Maddow is pretty *swoon*

She'll never like me in that way though

 

[Wario64]

Any good streams I can watch online?

edit: saw the PBS stream, okay

 

[Shard]

Yea, I like The Young Turks.

 

[2MF]

Is there a way to watch Fox News online from abroad?

 

[Amir0x]

I'm switching to Fox the minute this thing starts to tilt Obama's way.

You're one of the 1%, Gary! How can we trust when you'll really turn to Fox?

You really know to sell a travel package lol.

:O

BUMP OF HOPIUM

EDIT: we need a gif reversal of this for when we have PANIC news.

About what I expected really. Calibration can cause this pretty easily and no matter who it flips their vote to it'll stir up a lot of drama. Anything else happen that might fan stuff like this in the media after the election?

 

[DietRob]

haha yeah. Hilarious Brit Hume is just like a walking absurdity.

Do you have Al Jazeera on a stream. If so post it to me.

 

[vas_a_morir]

The capitol of the confederacy was in Virginia how is that not the south

Virginia is part South, Part Middle Atlantic, and part Appalachia. You can't really paint the state with a broad brush like that.

Damn you untrue news coverage!

Or I might have just heard wrong, in which case my bad.

 

[MightyKAC]

This is the worst fucking day to be working on a military base

 

[Arment]

I also just switched to FOX. Too good to miss.

 

[VALIS]

CNN has the best graphics.

I think they need to tighten up the graphics on level 3 a little bit.

 

[Metrotab]

Once again I'm reminded how insanely large the USA is.

 

[Drkirby]

You know DC is below the Mason-Dixon line, right?

Everyone know scientists moved the Mason-Dixon Line in 1978.

 

[Shard]

I don't feel like watching the Fox News meltdowns.

 

[DietRob]

Third rum and coke.

Going for a refill.. lol

This will be me November next year when Australians vote a misogynistic bigoted fear-mongering right wing conservative Cathoic lunatic into power.
