As someone who is watching this from Mexico, Care to explain why 270 is the magic number to get to the white house??

CNN has Obama up in Florida by 16.226 votes.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

So is Romney winning?!

 

[rando14]

DAMN IT FLORIDA

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Fox sound defeated

They're trying to add drama.

 

[criesofthepast]

Florida lol

 

[nilbog21]

What is the best stream to watch this on?

 

[Red]

FLORIDA 50/50

 

[Xeke]

Sorry, I don't know much about US elections. I am just casually watching. But his number seems a lot higher

Sorry again. Romney has not won anything that he hasn't supposed to win. When you look at the numbers keep in mind that Cali is an auto +55 for obama, Washing + 12 for Obama and Oregon +7 for obama.

 

[HerbertFish]

Romney takes the lead in Florida

 

[sweetvar26]

You are a god send, my internet died at work and I'm trying to find those on my phone. Ty!

LOL, I had those copied on to my clip board, just posting every few pages to keep it up.

 

[JABEE]

Florida tied.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Wolf keeps wetting himself

 

[bud]

FIFTY PERCENT

TO

FIFTY PERCENT

WOW

 

[Doc Holliday]

Fuck me.....With districts haven't reported?

 

[WesternHeretic]

Romney leading in FL now...

 

[Regulus Tera]

Now Romney is ahead in FL. D:

 

[Agent X]

romney up in florida

You meant to type a smiley face, right?

 

[-COOLIO-]

calling it now, obama wins florida by a single vote.

 

[G-Unit]

wth floridaaaaaaaaaa! don't fail us!

 

[Donthizz#]

fucking Florida turned red again..

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Don't fuck this up, Florida.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Omfg it flips to Romney, ahead by 1.2k lololol

 

[Wichu]

There are 538 in total, so you need 270 for a majority.

 

[teh_pwn]

I'm calling it: Obama won. FL, OH, PENN, and NH are all going to Obama. If he's near tied in FL with over 50% in, the last to report will be urban, which goes to Obama.

Now to wait for the GOP to realize.

 

[BigJonsson]

US-GAF, please don't get annoyed at the lack of knowledge of the electoral college system. I doubt too many of you have an intricate understanding of another nation's political system.

I'm Canadian and I know it

But we are all on the internet, people can just google or wiki things in 2 minutes

 

[cruets]

Florida....

 

[The Technomancer]

Man, fuck Florida. They decide like every damn election.

 

[ActStriker]

Majority of Electoral College

 

[Rebel Leader]

FL 78%

Romney ahead by 1,000 votes

 

[KuroNeeko]

SENATOR WARREN

2016!

wtf Florida...

Quick, saw it off before they can finish the count!

 

[NIGHT-]

wtf Florida...

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

goddamn florida.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

That's the smallest majority of Electoral Votes you need to secure a win.

 

[Wes]

Those Florida numbers are crazy.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I'm fairly confident in an Obama win. What concerns me more now is local stuff. If Akin somehow squeezes by after "legitimate rape", I don't even know what to think.

Not gonna happen.

 

[Phreaker]

Wolf keeps wetting himself

He's cracking me up.

 

[Wiz]

Florida could very well come down to a handful of votes. Wouldn't be surprised if we see something similar to 2000.

 

[Shard]

Strike that CNN revises to Romney ahead by just over a thousand.

 

[A.E Suggs]

Nothing shocking there.

No but in a way this is more important than him winning as we already knew he'd do that. All they've done is set themselves up for next election to when they can get another republican as pres. They'll let obama clean up and they'll come in and take all the glory in 4 years.

 

[Particle Physicist]

ACK! That's such a tiny margin!!! Too close, too close!!!

Yeah, but Broward and Miami-Dade are only 24% and 15% in respectively... those are huge Obama counties

 

[JB1981]

OMG @ Florida numbers.

 

[MormaPope]

As someone who is watching this from Mexico, Care to explain why 270 is the magic number to get to the white house??

It's half/the majority of Electoral votes, Presidents in the US get elected based on Electoral votes.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

 

[sweetvar26]

CBS

Florida 50-50 with 7million votes. DAMN!!!

 

[JCizzle]

Did they call Mendez in NJ?

If one candidate gets above 270, the other can't. It's the break point.

There are 538 total votes. 538/2=269

 

[Downhome]

This is cool to watch...

There will be a recount in Florida.
