So Obama is president, the Senate is D (but not past 60), and the R still control the house. So basically, not a damn thing has changed tonight.
 
Youth vote went up according to NBC.

The Republicans were wrong about every assumption in this race.
that's how you spread propaganda. You just keep saying it and saying it until people start believing it. They kept saying youth vote would go down over and over and over and then the media started perpetuating it then people started believing it.

Florida not called yet? 0.7% for Obama at 98% reporting.

I've assured people the number they'd be reading in the morning paper would be 332. :mad:

Miami-Dade county stopped counting votes for the night once Obama had 270 from other states.

The state is almost certainly going for Obama, but it will have to wait till tomorrow. Any paper worth anything will report it as having gone blue, I'd think.

Ryan was one of the most worthless VP picks ever.

I sincerely think we would be looking at a much different result tonight if Romney went with his gut and picked, as that story earlier this week said he was planning to do initially, Christie.
 
I do actually feel kinda bad for him. He doesn't seem like a bad guy. And he achieved a lot in his life, but at the end of the day he'll always be haunted by the failure of the most important he ever tried to do, the same way his father did.

He actually was a pretty good Governor of Massachusetts. People forgot so soon that he did a good job of running that state. In the end though, he really chose the wrong party. As a moderate, he was completely wrong for this batshit insane Republican Party.

Personally speaking, I'm disappointed in the outcome of the presidential election, as I was one of the people hoping for a Romney victory (apparently a small minority here). But at this point, it's over with. I can only hope for the best for the United States going forward.
Good attitude. My friend who was rooting for Romney is so damn salty and being incredibly irrational. He thinks it's going to bring the nation to its knees and said "so begins the end of an America of love, and the genesis of a nation we weep for"

Shit like that pisses me off stop being so melodramatic

Congrats to America for electing the (very) lesser of two evils. Hopefully his second term reflects his progressive roots better than his first, and I very much hope he's taken to task on civil liberties and security much more than he has been in the past. That's perhaps a lot of wishful thinking, but I hope for the best.

Mitt taking the loss better than fox/rove. Haha.

He looked relieved to me.

What are the odds that Obama moves more left now? Any chance that will end the drug war given that he doesn't have to worry about re-election anymore?

I appreciate the sentiment, but lets get real: the country is going to be as rotten and divisive as ever. :(

Naw unfortunately it's only going to get much worse. I'm fully expecting the Glenn Beck doomsday crowd to suffer a psychotic episode.

If this election has taught me anything its to NEVER look online right when exit polls start and wait it out a bit

Way too many Chicken Littles in this thread freaking out and saying Romney won after only ten percent of a state was polled

With a tea party house it is going to be an uphill battle.
