321 Fight: Obama vs. Romney!

 

[Rebel Leader]

Sorry if this has been asked, but when do we find out the results of the election?

Tuesday night or Wednesday mourning

Heh. Probably not Tuesday.

 

[RDreamer]

Holy shit! :lol Doesn't seem to have much activity but the content is gold.

Holy shit that whole post:

Me too! If Obama wins, I just don't know what I will do or how I will live or cope, if I have to hear on Nov. 6 or days after, that we have to put up with that man another 4 years....... that voice, those lies, the "Revenge" and devastation that he may bring on America after the election. I believe that he will tear down and ignore every law that has been made to make us a FREE Nation, and will establish a dictatorship right here in the USA, If given that next 4 years. And if given that next 4 years, I believe that by the end, he will have torn down that "two term" law for a President to serve and that he may be our last President........dictator..............the thought scares me.

Hope that's just a stretch of my imagination!! I just don't trust the man! He has already gotten by with more than anyone in the world has or will ever have, by making his own laws and rules and breaking down every other barrier he can to suit his own purpose.

God forbid that he wins!

wow

It depends, really. Most states will be accounted for by late Tuesday night on the US East Coast (GMT -5). The states that are really close could take a day or so.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Had a bit of cash lying around. Put £5000 on Obama for a bet with some friends at the bank. Ohio gaffers better not let me down!

I'll do my best!

Spoiler

for Romney

 

[Gary Whitta]

Holy shit that whole post:



wow

Here's the best part, his vote counts as much as yours.

 

[Phreaker]

I can't watch the video. What exactly did they catch?

His lies about Chrysler moving Jeep production to China from Ohio, when in actuality Chrysler is adding jobs in Ohio.

 

[RDreamer]

Oh well, it won't once Obama assumes dictatorship.

That was brilliant

 

[Angry Grimace]

I wish we didn't have term limits so I could keep voting for Bill Clinton

 

[Clydefrog]

I just looked up my polling place and it's at someone's house. Is that weird?

No, my local polling place is some dude's garage a few blocks down.

Holy shit! :lol Doesn't seem to have much activity but the content is gold.

For folks who claim to worship and fellate the Constitution, they surely don't seem familiar with its terms, or, more specifically, how to amend it.

I'm not shocked.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Tuesday night or Wednesday mourning

see what you did there

 

[dave is ok]

30-something hours from now.

[Dash27]

I don't know why people keep quoting national polls like they mean anything. They seem to be a media tool to reinforce the narrative that this race is a toss-up and keep people tuned in. All that matters is electoral math and polls in a handful of battleground states.

All I know is tomorrow night will be fun for someone. Libs keep pushing the National polls dont matter, read Nate Silver! Conservatives keep pointing to polling samples, turnout and independents. Then you have the group of people saying dont pay attention to any polls at all.

For my money, I keep thinking back to 2004 when the polls were saying Kerry won. I dont trust any of them to any degree of accuracy.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Well so far as when we will know a result, don't count out a 2000-style nightmare with Ohio taking the place of Florida. Obama has 600 lawyers on the ground in one key OH county alone; I imagine Romney has a similar number. There's so much talk about voter suppression and rejecting provisional ballots that if it comes down to OH and that state is close it could be days or weeks or another fucking Supreme Court battle.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Wow... Have you ever thought of using your Tab key? Also.. your story seems pretty far fetched.

He may ask you to take your clothes off, just go with it, new voter regulation to prevent fraud.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So if(when) Romney wins, what happens to NeoGAF? Do the servers just explode? Chaos ensure?

What odds did you get? That's a lot of money on a state that is far from a sure thing.

PS: I'm in Ohio and voted for Gary Johnson.

 

[Extollere]

Quick question for you guys. Last election (2010), I was registered to vote and I was given the address to show up at. It was a church a couple of blocks away. I went in there all hyped, but the poll worker couldn't find my registration on the list, so she gave me a provisional ballot (I had verified the address, and my registration as a California voter beforehand). I really don't want to cast a provisional ballot this year, so if they happen to do the same to me can I just tell them to let me cast a regular one? Do I have some kind of right to a regular ballot?

Yeah, that's been my fear as well. Hopefully it wont come to that.

No, you need a provisional ballot.

Please, pay attention to national polls. I encourage you.

To make matters worse, imagine GOP/Freeper conspiracy theories when they realize the District Court judge in charge of resolving the provisional ballot dispute is a Clinton appointee who looks like this:

 

[Something Wicked]

Did you not see Nate's chart? Easy money.

Those that they religiously follow Silver's blog seem like ones that would fall for pyramid schemes.

"See, look at how high that percentage is! He can't possibly lose. And this is based off of statistics and models and stuff. That's science, right there. You can't lose against science."

 

[anotherVegan]

I'll be voting Obama tomorrow. Early voting lines were way too long. Don't worry, world, I'm doing my part.

 

[Black Republican]

we burn this motherfucker down!

 

[BobTheFork]

His lies about Chrysler moving Jeep production to China from Ohio, when in actuality Chrysler is adding jobs in Ohio.

Ah ok. I had heard about that before. My understanding is that they are expanding to China. The response I got from the R's I know was that they COULD be adding a plant in the US but they aren't so it's still shipping jobs to China *shrugs*

 

[Rocket Scientist]

"See, look at how high that percentage is! He can't possibly lose. And this is based off of statistics and models and stuff. That's science, right there. You can't lose against science."

That's not what he says though. He emphasizes that nothing is certain.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Practically speaking nothing happens other than tax rates go down.

What if tomorrow's lines are longer?

Is there something wrong with science? I'm not a Republican so I tend to favor it.

I have no clue what that has to do with statewide opinion polling.

It's not like he predicted two elections in a row or anything!

 

[Gary Whitta]

It's not like he predicted two elections in a row or anything!

He only got 49 out of 50 states right last time.

Silver is the only blogger speaking a lick of sense this cycle, that's why he's been so popular and polarizing.

Today I learned pyramid schemes are based on science.

I'm thinking the reaction will be something akin to this:

 

[Angry Grimace]

Presidential polling is a corrupt conspiracy until it shows Romney winning

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Today I learned pyramid schemes are based on science.

Technically they are though! The math adds up as long as you don't mind sucking the blood and life out of your family, friends and unsuspecting, easily influenced strangers!

Every single person on this board could probably get at least 40/50 without looking at a single poll.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Every single person on this board could probably get at least 40/50 without looking at a single poll.

But can we get 49/50 and all 35 senate races?

This doesn't make any sense. Anyone with any knowledge of statistics would know why pyramid schemes fail.
