I did my part in Florida to vote for Obama.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Hilarious that west virginia loves certain democrats (byrd, manchin) but won't ever go red

 

[Hilti92]

why is romney winning? usa, you've lost a tourist.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Romeny just got West Virgina accroding to CNN

Our polls close at 7:30 p.m. Lol. What was that? Two minutes until a projection? Not surprised at all considering a prison inmate gave Obama a run for his money in the May primary. I voted Bams, but I'm sure it will look like a sympathy vote once the numbers come in.

 

[MetatronM]

Nice looking estimates for Obama in NC and Ohio.


Ooh, nice, Florida! Some part of South Florida must have just come in.

 

[Gary Whitta]

FFUUUUU this is too nutty for me. COME ON BAMS!

 

[kirblar]

Too close in Ohio and NC!

CNN:
NC 49-49
Ohio 51-48 to Obama

If that's an Exit Poll, that's very good for Obama if it doesn't incorporate early voters.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

holy shit the sports analogies (offense and defense) on NBC are absolutely unbearable

 

[HerbertFish]

Romney up eighteen percent very early in Virginia

 

[Ace Harding]

FL 23% in

52% Obama
48% Romney

CNN

 

[diffusionx]

I'd be extremely surprised if Obama wins NC.

 

[Xeke]

Obama to win South Carolina.......

 

[Wes]

It's early. He's won the states he expected to win. Long way to go.

 

[Carlisle]

Just look at the county reports. NoVA is the Democratic part. Those ruby red counties are all rural.

Yeah I need to start looking at those. But it's so much easier to look at the map and then panic or celebrate, and go back and forth all night.

 

[Derrick01]

I knew I shouldn't have tuned in yet. This is too goddamn stressful.

 

[Protein]

Alcohol consumption initiated.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Fuck you West Virginia. I can see you from across the Ohio River. You're an eyesore.

 

[DukeBobby]

Don't you fuck us, Florida. Don't you dare fuck us. We'll dig that ditch and let you float off.

Bugs Bunny has his saw ready.

 

[sangreal]

red states dont like voters so they close polls early.

 

[Oersted]

These Florida numbers. Holy moly.

 

[Escape Goat]

[Alligatorjandro]

[The Technomancer]

Man, if Obama somehow manages Florida it is over. That locks it, right there

 

[MeBecomingI]

Ohio numbers are too close.

 

[NumberTwo]

Valium, get'cha Valium here!

 

[vas_a_morir]

Romney up eighteen percent very early in Virginia

PACK IT UP. IT'S OVER.

 

[slightconfuse]

[Snaku]

52% Obama
48% Romney

CNN

[Whiskeymatt]

I CAN'T STUDY DURING THIS, WHY DO I HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW

 

[Jimothy]

Obama up 3 in FL according to MSNBC.

 

[Brinbe]

Somewhere Nate Silver is feeling like a billion bucks. =D

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Obama to win South Carolina.......

Saluda County! Pretty sure that one was red last time

 

[kaskade]

Do these early results even mean anything. Half the time it's like 2% reporting in.

 

[Wiz]

Obama to win South Carolina.......

no way

 

[Carlisle]

why is romney winning? usa, you've lost a tourist.

Economy already taking a hit under President Romney.

 

[Deadman]

How are they counting florida so fast. I guess its all electronic?

 

[Gorillaz]

Damn...not gonna lie but I live in ohio and it feels like he has a strong hold here especially in the capital city Columbus.Is this really that close?

 

[tycoonheart]

I love you kate

 

[Gr1mLock]

Vermont has a senator who openly calls himself a socialist.

And is one of the only real mother fuckers in politics.

 

[BigJonsson]

lol manassas

 

[Jhriad]

Hope Obama takes Texas. Would watch fox all week.

A Democrat winning Texas won't happen for at least another decade. Unless he/she happens to be from Texas.

 

[Omegasquash]

These Florida numbers. Holy moly.

These ever wavering FLA numbers. This is what it's about, right here.

A Democrat winning Texas won't happen for at least another decade. Unless he/she happens to be from Texas.

Probably longer. Texas has a Democratic presence, but not enough to make a difference. The only state as red as Texas is OK...and that's not changing anytime in our lifetimes.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Ugh why did I decide to start following now instead of later

 

[Stumpokapow]

Do these early results even mean anything. Half the time it's like 2% reporting in.

They do and they don't. The overall numbers you're seeing don't mean anything. But comparing the numbers with the same numbers from the same precincts last time around can help verify whether substantial shifts have taken place in the electorate. So I wouldn't pay attention to the numbers or the shades you're seeing, but know that one of the reasons why media outlets can call things as early as they do is because they're making great use of the data here.

Like, let's say there's a state (State X) where we expect 50% of the vote to come from Big City County and 50% from Rolling Hills County. Rolling Hills County reports first and has a 55-45 Republican advantage in the first few precincts. If we know that Big City County went 70-30 to the Democrats the last five elections, we know, even though we have no results from Big City County, that the state is going to go Democratic.

Best map for iPad? Don't want to turn on my computer. Need to be mobile!

 

[Community Forum]

I get shivers down my spine whenever Brian Williams says "too close to call."

 

[Mxrz]

If Obama gets Florida, NC and Virgina I will lol so fucking hard.

 

[Salvadora]

I'm loving those Florida numbers.

 

[hemtae]

They were the first state to legalize gay marriage, right? Should've been a clue right there.

Actually that would be Massachusetts. But close enough.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

come on barry take florida

That'd wrap things up nicely.
