Since most of Footy-GAF is in the UK and supporting Obama, I thought you guys might appreciate this piece my brother wrote: http://www.avidly.org/2012/11/05/major-doma/. It really hit me hard, made me tear up a bit even towards the end. Fortunately I have my own office and the door was closed!

Like every poll going disagrees with you
Last time I checked Gallup had it basically tied.
Has something changed since then?
I genuinely hope it has.
Fantastic piece of writing, honestly.
I fucking hope not. I'm more scared than I should be it's gonna happen.
The national poll doesn't matter, look at the swing states, its almost a lock for Obama.
I genuinely laughed.
And, yes, I have read the Lemony Snicket books. Well most of them. They got very fucking dull.
Nationally, sure, but in terms of electoral college votes it's hard to see a path to a Romney victory. Obama is ahead in almost every swing state, and pulling away in most.
Hurricane Sandy really helped him.
I went for Obama to win 293 electorate votes and Romney to win 245. BBC have a sweet little state predictor thing.
But what was your answer to number 48?

Hell yeah, motherfucker
I don't really understand everything, the voting system and whatnot. But I enjoy the fuck out of it, far more than British politics.
I've wondered what it smells like.
Honestly I'd take our politics any day. Obama is still way to the right of the Tories.
now we sit back and wait for everyone to answer question 48
Yeah, I agree with you there. I just find the drama of American politics so exciting
Very well written piece. Objective, personal, and very moving, hopefully thought provoking and moving enough for some of those entrenched in DOMA's doctrine to reconsider their position. I go through US border control with my SO quite often and being separated like that must be humiliating to say the least.
At least now I feel a little better about voting Democrat.

Sorry 3Sixty, but my finances come first, I'd want you to win otherwise

. Painful presenting for Ed Chamberlain here. He a Saints fan, his nervous laughter when Nev lays into Saints is noticeable.
Me too. I blame The West Wing.
