Vancouver Washington is basically North Portland. I live in Regular Portland. The one where the marijuana measure probably won't pass.

The venom on both sides is pretty disgusting, honestly. Not just the idiots on facebook claiming the country is doomed, but the people wanting to "drink the tears" as well. And it would've happened no matter which guy won. Sucks to see how the country has become so divided.
So long as we have the attitude that everyone on the other side is the enemy, nothing productive is gonna happen for the country. Gridlock is gonna prevail. But then again it's election night, so some immaturity is to be expected I guess.

Motherfucker, is that serious? Proper legalisation (not just decriminalisation)? Regulation, taxation and licensing?
America, I am so proud of you *wipes tear*.
Most of us are concerned he'll try to take them away. I'm thinking we have bigger problems to worry about than legal gun ownership, and he'll probably leave it alone.
By never once going after their guns, he clearly demonstrated that he will go after their guns.

Question, do the people that say shit like this actually believe they will go to heaven?

So a question to all the democrats in this thread.
What is your opinion on the popular vote vs electoral college? I wasn't of voting age when it happened before, but as I recall a vast majority of democrats were whining and crying when their guy lost to Bush because of the electoral college, and from preliminary results on a few websites I've checked, namely CNN and Fox News, it looks like the reverse happened this time and Romney got the popular vote, but Obama got the electoral college.
Does this change your opinion on it at all?
As a guy who voted for Johnson and thinks the electoral college is a complete and utter joke that should be abolished, I would like to hear some opinions. I'm not trying to kick any hornets nests or cry bitter tears, I did not expect my guy to win in a million years, but I am genuinely curious.

The difference being that Romney would have been scrutinized for these things. Obama will brush of any criticism with his great PR/by being a democrat.

Its an image thing at this point I'm assuming. He doesn't want to appear caving to Obama pressure.
We will have an NBA team soon and the Seahawks are going to the playoffs this year with a rookie QB!!

As a non-Democrat leftist, I still think the electoral college should be abolished. It is inherently anti-democratic.

This guy on fox news saying Romney needed to differenciate more from obama. Maybe they really are going to move further right. Thats only going to make things easier for the democrats, but an overall shift left would be best for this country IMO.
I just wanna see Virginia blue before I go to bed dammit. Come onnnn I need sleep.

As a Louisiana democrat (this is one of those states where it's complicated to be an Independent), even if my vote was just a fart in the wind, getting up at 6am to vote then spending my evening with the lady of the house and our cats watching Rove have a mental breakdown has been one of my better experiences.
Agreed. It sucks ass. It doesnt help that you have Fox News to push the us vs them mantra but yeah...
Er, we've got like what, 14% of CA reporting in and 50% of both WA and OR? Obama will win the popular vote too.
