Just do the whole smugly confident "I suppose we'll see how much the popular vote matters in 12 nights, won't we?" thing. The tears are going to be extra-extra-primo that evening, especially given that Fox and friends are still frantically promoting the idea that Romney has this thing in the bag.

if you aren't reading national review online's "the corner" blog for GOP meltdowns on election night you are doing it wrong.
Do you think the GOP will integrate?Also, Mitt's crowds are just amazing to see pictures of:
Seriously, the racial divide in this election is astounding. I really hope I'll be telling my kids about how crazy this election was compared to theirs, and that they just won't believe it.
It is a gaming forum and it is one that is all about sales and will get you banned if you name it here.
I'll get the lowdown on meltdowns from christianforums.com when Nov. 7th rolls around. My wife frequents there quite a bit. I'm not entirely sure why she does, considering she's not even Christian anymore. Guess she likes arguing with nutters as much as I do, lol, even though she always chastises me for it 
There's no way it can continue like this. They'll have to at some point, especially by the point where I'm having a conversation like that with my children lol.

Oh shit!
This piece on Maddow about the OHIO union rights and Obama for America's involvement is fucking awesome.
Now I see why they are so scared shitless and trying so hard to suppress the vote.
OFA is no fucking joke.

oh my god fuck yes
Though nomblog.com will be a blast if any of the WA/MD/ME same-sex marriage referenda pass.
What episode? The one from today or yesterday? (I missed both)
It's not his only shot, but he really doesn't have much chance without it. I think according to Nate there was a really really tiny percentage of outcomes in his model that had Mitt winning without it, but overall whoever won Ohio won the presidency.

more or less, yeah (iirc only like 3% of all 538 simulations had either candidate win w/o Ohio)
all his other routes to 270 involve picking off 'likely Obama' states at this point
If Romney loses Ohio but wins Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia, then he'd need 22EVs more from NH/CO/WI/IA/NV. NH and CO seem doable, but WI/IA/NV seem to be trending away from him.

Today's episode.
If I were Romney, I would pay Activision 100 million to release Black Ops II a week early. Election won.
A week early... in Ohio only.
amazing photoshop is amazing
Double XP for a year if you stand outside the polling places chanting "Romney" for 12 hours.

I've been unable to post this past two months but I have followed the debates and debacles along with this thread and it has been a great ride. Thank you guys for providing me with much entertainment at work these past months.
Should be casting my absentee ballot for Obama tomorrow night. I have had my ballot for almost a month but the AF IT guys came in to re-image all the computers and told us we couldn't have a USB scanner anymore. I finally found someone yesterday morning that had a scanner, so tomorrow night I vote for the first time.

I think he'd need to sweep all the other swing states if he doesn't win Ohio.

Wouldn't that distract people more likely to support gun rights so that they don't actually leave their homes to vote?
Hmm, if Obama gets all states currently marked at (…*quickly double checks*) 74% O or higher at 538, then he'll get 271 of those electoral thingamajigs.
(edit: chose that weird number because Ohio is 74.8% right now)
Haha that's always fun too. You should also say "it's God's will."

This is Mitt's best shot at winning w/o Ohio or PA.

I'm not going to criticize a grieving father, although it's clear he wasn't an Obama fan before or after this; his comments on how he felt Obama and Clinton's interactions weren't genuine strikes me as a matter of internal bias. But the Biden comment, if true...jesus christ
What's worse is that people like him are being exploited to turn this story into something it's not. It's disgusting.

I thought this was already covered by the Halo 4 release on November 6th, slightly odd given that Microsoft is an Obama donor, and Bill Gates just donated $500k to support gay marriage.

Lol, there is the Joe Biden we all know and love. Obama must have kept him clean before the debate as he was really on point. Republicans were waiting for him to do something like this.
Biden has a son that's served in the military, the idea that he would say something like that in this sort of situation is just odd. Yea he makes gaffes, but the guy isn't tone deaf. The fact no other news outlet seemed to want to touch this is rather telling.

Blacks for Mitt!
It would be crazy if Obama wins Ohio but Romney ends up winning anyways by tipping Wisconsin to his side.
Yea smells like bullshit to me.

Trading 18 EVs for 10 isn't a good trade, mang.
No fucking way Mitt would benefit from that.
Reminds me of the king of the hill episode where hank shakes bush's hand.
I could see this being true. I imagine the republicans are a lot more organized in WI then people may give credit for after the recall etc.
Ohio I have a hard time seeing it being so close in the end due to how different Ohio is compared to the rest of the nation
It would be. I kind of doubt it, though. Thing is that Wisconsin's pretty split. There are a lot of conservatives here, and the ground game for the recall was really good. But, there are also a ton of progressive younger people here, especially around Madison. The recall election lost because I don't think they could really capture enough of them. Barrett was a shit uninspiring candidate. And even with that huge win for the GOP, exit polls had Obama up by 10.
I think Baldwin might actually help Obama, too. She's going to get a lot of those younger, progressive people excited where they might not be as much for Obama anymore. They'll be out to the polls voting for her, so she'll get them, too. Also, Baldwin being ahead this whole time has me pretty confident in Obama, since she's pretty darned liberal, too.
If they look like they're going to pass, I will be refreshing nomblog.com all night. I cannot wait. TEARS.
I will be in tears if we go 0 for 4 again...
If Romney gained enough in the polls to win without Ohio, he'd win Ohio.
Panic mode, the story is obviously bull otherwise someone else would have carried it. Poll-iGAF can't help itself it seems.

Yeah nothing from Glenn Beck is going to mean shit really. Fox news might give it some air time, but other stations won't touch it. CNN might air it if Obama pulls ahead in national polling to keep the race a "dead heat"
If Romney could win Wis. It would probably lead to NH being the state to decide the election

I don't see a rational scenario where Ohio goes blue but Wisconsin turns red. It's both or neither.
And with Nevada in his corner, winning Ohio brings Wisconsin and that's that.
Turning Va early in the night would be a foreshadow, of course (If Fla is called for Obama the game is over then and there).

Obama takes CO or VA without WI and NH, he wins.
I'm loving that we now have all of these swing states on the East coast.
Back in 2000, it was Florida (which doesn't close until its Central Time Zone precincts close - and then takes a while to tally) and New Hampshire.
Thanks to Dean & Obama, the map's expansion has been a gift.
Well in general it is not likely that someone wins the Presidency without winning Ohio, all I am saying is he does have a path.
