Support NeoGAF

[Drek]

yep... Christie will probably get to go on tour with the E Street Band if he joins the Obama admin in the 2nd term.

Jobs czar Chris Christie.

Final Gallup writeup

http://www.gallup.com/poll/158519/romney-obama-gallup-final-election-survey.aspx

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are within one percentage point of each other in Gallup's final pre-election survey of likely voters, with Romney holding 49% of the vote, and Obama 48%. After removing the 3% of undecided voters from the results and allocating their support proportionally to the two major candidates, Gallup's final allocated estimate of the race is 50% for Romney and 49% for Obama.

I wish I could have gone to the rally at 5/3 Arena yesterday. Tried but no tickets left.

I wonder how many were there last night while my wife was standing in line for 6 hours to vote down the street from there.

 

[Kai Dracon]

So Mittens did convince 47% of the voters to vote for him. Awesome.

Besides the irony of that number, at the end of tomorrow night approximately one half of the country or other is going to be taking a trip:

 

[th3dude]

2004 was decided at about 1 AM wednesday

2008 was pretty much done at 11 PM

(and 2000 was decided in december)

This should be a pretty early one. At least I hope it is.

 

[eBay Huckster]

This should be a pretty early one. At least I hope it is.

i'm actually calling every state but FL/NC being called by midnight

 

[TacticalFox88]

Obama's voice seems shot. :/

Looks like he's tired of the campaign just like we are.

 

[Black Mamba]

Called it!

 

[HylianTom]

Know what I'm really going to enjoy?

That magical period of time on Election Night where Ohio has been called for Obama, but the West Coast states aren't called yet, and the anchors are pretending that Romney can still seek other, more-arduous-but-possible paths to victory. Watching them squirm and hypothesize is going to be so much fun!

 

[Aylinato]

Everyone calm down..I got inside information





Here is a post that will illustrate exactly what I am referring to.


Wait for it

I don't know why you'd enjoy things like that, but at that point I'm just going to go to bed. Why dwell on it?

 

[Korey]

What's the timeline of states being called tomorrow?

 

[Aaron Strife]

Prediction: Obama wins re-election and we find out fairly early in the night.

GOP comes out immediately refusing to compromise on anything ever.

 

[HylianTom]

Probably because politically, I'm a bit of a sadist.

how many rallies has he even had in the past couple weeks?

i'm planning on switching my election-night party over to fox news once ohio gets called just to enjoy the schadenfreude (and probably basing a bit of this drinking game on when we're watching fox)

 

[Aylinato]

Guys. Calm down, we got this. Seriously. Get everyone you know to vote. This election is too important to stay home.

 

[NullPointer]

Don't count your chickens...

...until they come home to roost.

I talked to my cousin for an hour last night trying to convince him. However, he is one of those crazy dudes who thinks it's all rigged anyway.

MY MAN B-ROCK.. SHOW THAT PASSION !! He's convincing OHIO what this is ALL ABOUT!!

 

[Kusagari]

I assume we'll see Boehner saying something tomorrow after Bams wins?

 

[eBay Huckster]

man, obama just got LOUD

Did anyone read David Frum's argument for Romney

The congressional Republicans have shown themselves a destructive and irrational force in American politics. But we won’t reform the congressional GOP by re-electing President Obama. If anything, an Obama re-election will not only aggravate the extremism of the congressional GOP, but also empower them: an Obama re-election raises the odds in favor of big sixth-year sweep for the congressional GOP – and very possibly a seventh-year impeachment. A Romney election will at least discourage the congressional GOP from deliberately pushing the US into recession in 2013. Added bonus: a Romney presidency likely means that the congressional GOP will lose seats in 2014, as they deserve.

Basically: Let the Bully have his way.

Wow.

Reid Epstein ‏@reidepstein


Not sure what to make of this. Are they besties now?

They are so besties. Romney is going to be pissed when he doesn't get invited to the White House sleepover.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

And as I fall asleep here in India...3:40 am. Nervousness starting to set in, uneasiness getting to stomach...that feeling.

Tomorrow it shall all be over.

 

[Jackben]

But what will happen to Poli-GAF if Romney is elected?

 

[Aylinato]

David Frum used to be good. Until tea party came along =(

But what will happen to Poli-GAF if Romney is elected?

He wont

 

[Brinbe]

And with that, just one more campaign rally left. Gonna be awesome in Iowa later tonight.

I want him to deliver a special speech.

Also, any reports out of PA on Clinton rallies?

I'll be smiling a little, but it's not that big of a deal. The real work and change comes far later. Other than that, expect the rest to go on as usual.

Should be going on stage around 10:30

 

[Jackben]

You're right, Sunflower. There will be fireworks either way and that is what makes me excited.

 

[Forever]

Just got back from more canvassing in Florida.

Don't count this state out. There are hopeful signs down here.

I'm going to watch the election unfold at a big celebration by the waterfront. Expecting good times.

[Mike M]

I'm not the least big worried, oddly enough. I probably should be slightly anxious, since Romney's chances aren't negligible. If this were a game of XCOM, this would be the shot with 88% chance to hit that misses and starts a chain reaction that wipes out my squad : (

Anything can happen

They basically already did when they drew the line in the sand over the tax cuts in the house.

 

[Glorified G]

I love CNN "Des Moines register poll has Obama up 5 in Iowa, it's still a dead heat!"

 

[Officerrob]

OK guys, heading out for my canvasing shift here in Virginia, LETS DO THIS!!

That reminds me I gotta text the field organizer and see what he wants me to do when I'm off work tomorrow

God Speed

If I was in US, Charlotte, I was going to volunteer and drive people to polls.

DAMN IT VISA SYSTEM

you sir obviously don't peruse the Yahoo comment section often...

Lol, I knew Yahoo had a lot of crazies. Thought it might be a bit better in their finance section

FINAL PREDICTION



....same as two weeks ago.

Obama wins with 2008 map excluding indiana (which, by the way, why did they have such a huge swing?)

Dems gain 1-3 senate seats

Dems take the house by 2.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

So since a lot of you are Dems if I say I'm out driving people to polls, you'll beat me with sticks, right?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

That reminds me I gotta text the field organizer and see what he wants me to do when I'm off work tomorrow

Drive people to polls is always a big one.

WTF?

"and very possibly a seventh-year impeachment." . . . Really Frum? Threatening impeachment? For what? PWB?

"A Romney election will at least discourage the congressional GOP from deliberately pushing the US into recession in 2013."?!?! Nice economy you have there . . . it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Shame on you Frum. You are a little wuss that sucks up to the bad people. No wonder you came down here from Canada and sucked up to powerbrokers.

So: admitting Republicans are just holding America hostage at gunpoint for the sake of it. So much for "we don't negotiate with terrorists!" Give 'em whatever they want.

 

[besada]

I don't see the point of splitting posts/insights/comments/news/reports from on the ground over two threads. It doesn't make sense.

We were here first. Management forced us out of OT, which is management's right. Some of us prefer the chatty bonhomie of PoliGAF to the raucous volcano of the full OT. If users don't want to double post, they are welcome to pick one or the other.
