That Linda McMahon ad is funny considering Murphy is running one on TV now, where Obama endorses Murphy by name.

Yes. Romney would need to also take Pennsylvania and Colorado or New Hampshire.
This is what Silver had as the map that Romney could be going for, with his foray into Pennsylvania.
That gets him to 273.
Dude, I'm scared shitless right now. I'm not gonna be able to rest until it's confirmed Obama's won.
Barbaro reports for the NYT, so I am wondering..

There are several people here at Pa. rally who want to leave and aren't being let out.
Man just pulled me aside and said "My son is on the verge of hypothermia" just as staffer starts letting people out a few at a time."

PPP: Ohio 52-47 O
They gotta be trolling Nate lol. Posting right after he updates.
That should move 538 a little bit
It's not going to be called until Wednesday at the earliest.
If the laws that anyone who is there in line before 5 hold, then we're likely going to have people voting up to midnight - and possibly later.
The lines are going to be insane.
Certainly.
My favorite incredibly unlikely scenario is this:
Obama loses Ohio but wins Florida.
He then loses Vrginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa and Nevada.
He then wins New Hampshire with its 4 electoral votes
Obama wins.

Raised in Miami, this has me fucking furious. I want to turn this state so fucking blue you'll think the Genie from Aladdin transformed into Florida.
You're talking about Florida in terms of calling times, right? I think the election should end 12-1 AM ET.
Caught that edit!
Yeah, Florida.
Hopefully Ohio is called early and we can go to sleep early, while the chaos continues in Florida.
He's right, though, with the way lines will be, especially the way we want them to be in Broward after today, a Wednesday too-close-to-call isn't at all out of the question.
I seriously may not make it through this week blood-pressure style
If Scott, or any republican for that matter gets elected governor in 2014, I'd welcome a secession movement.
The election would be called exactly the same time as '08, when the west coast polls are closing.
You are most likely going to have a long ass time to set up victory shots.

one of my favorite unlikely scenarios is obama losing OH, FL, and VA, but winning NV/IA/CO/NH. CO doesn't look good, but i guess this scenario would happen if hispanic voters are being underrepresented in polls. it's pretty funny though that obama can conceivably win without OH, FL, or VA.
so many paths to victory. that PPP ohio poll is an injection of hopium straight into my veins.

Trust me, I asked him if he'd be willing to tell a gay person that he doesn't think that their love is worth marriage. He said he wouldn't be.

Obama rarely strikes me as genuine. Seems like a narcissistic to me.
nevada is 90.1%, and out of nate's state-by-state projections.
ohio is at 86%
you would know.
sorry. low-hanging fruit.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
But George Will told me Romney would take Minnesota. I'm not buying it.
strange that it increased after ryan visited. you think it would have been closer afterward, like nevada was!

OK so I was fine this whole election but with it being so close my anxiety is going into overdrive. I know bams has got this but the wait is killing me. I need tuesday to be here.
I can even do anything to pass the time like play video games or what not because I lose focus thinking about the election.
I need a good glass of wine.
Can you expand on this? You nailed his relationship with Michelle

Anyone who thought for an instant Romney had even a snowball's chance in hell at Minnesota was delusional
Still gonna make sure I vote though, mostly for the amendments.

First to be clear, you and I have the same fundamental goal: well run elections, we just disagree at the level at which it needs to be administrated.
The problem I have with administrating elections at the federal level is that so very few of the elections that will be overseen are federal elections and bureaucracies are poorly suited to handle the widely differing needs of various jurisdictions.
Even if Detzner isn't elected, the county officials appear to be. After the 2000 election, I was under the impression the county officials had a fair bit of autonomy (although I can see why that would be changed after that election.) They certainly seemed at one time to be empowered to choose the type of ballot. If that's still the case, they could choose optically scanned paper ballots to leave how fast the poll worker can check people in to be the only constraint on number of people voting. Perhaps they could increase the number of polling locations (I know my county election official has that power.) Perhaps they could find a better polling place that is better able to accommodate the number of voters. That's just a few things a local official could do off the top of my head.
Whoa, is this that?
That sounds convoluted. Why not just do it like Iowa, and have a computer draw up the districts and have the Legislature vote it up or down?Columbus Dispatch said:
That is just weird.

This is ludicrous. I'd be calling the police.
Argument over.
I haven't been to FreeRepublic all day long, to be honest. I guess I should put on my waders and head over there for a peek.

IDK also it looks like the staffer didn't say to the mother "its not cold enough" he said that to press after the fact.
I think this is really lame to be pushing this unless other details come out. It doesn't look like they were trying to inflate number or something. Just probably poor planning and something else. I've seen these kind of things happen at event's I've been to.

What is lame about it?If people wanted to leave they should be able to leave.
Okay, looking at a few of their polling threads, a good number of them are still blaming Christie (or "Jabba the Hut" as one of them says) and Sandy.
An even bigger number of them are trying to unskew the Rasmussen poll showing a national tie.
So no real changes. They're decidedly less confident, already making excuses, already worrying about Christie's faux-endorsement, the Sandy Bump, and Obama's cheating.

It looks like they eventually left but the staff and SS was holding them back for security reasons. Have you never seen that at a concert or a large crowd? People not being allowed to leave right away?

What about this polling place that the state Democratic Party sued to have open on Sunday due to a bomb scare on Saturday? Did that not open like the article says?

Different county. 300 miles away due to a security threat. Its not equal. It should have been available in every county like it always has been until the republicans in the legislature decided to many minorities were organizing and going to voting on this day.
