omg lmfao

Romney would also ignore 47% of his penis.

 

[Foothills]

I voted no on marijuana in Washington State. I still haven't heard an argument for why legal, easy access to recreational pot would be good for the people of this state.

This should be something libertarians, progressives, conservatives, and greens can all agree on.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Voted for 64 in CO. I hear its close

It's close? omg

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Drudge is reporting some initial exit polls. Not sure how much salt you want for those.

Spoiler

Obama wins

 

[Jooney]

the website and tweets coming from natesilverwrong ... wow.

This website is dedicated to exposing a newly created media God by the name of "Nate Silver" who had success in sports statistics and somehow decided it was time to get into politics by correctly predicting 49 out of 50 states in the very predictable 2008 presidential elections.

Well if it's that easy why not put your predictions on the table?

 

[gwarm01]

I gave my vote to Barry, a bunch of Green candidates, and threw some support to our medical marijuana proposition here in Arkansas. The rest of the state will vote against all of them however.

 

[Chiggs]

Stumpokapow, these Gingerbread Oreos are fantastic. I almost want to send them to you regardless of the outcome tonight.

Marijuana tax.

 

[Donthizz#]

Exit poll talk on CNN..

 

[B-Dubs]

You're conflating an editorial endorsement with a poll analysis, an author who writes for the New York Times with their editorial board, and a descriptive analysis with a normative prescription not to vote. That's three separate errors in a two sentence post.

That has got to be some kind of record.

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Good luck to all of the states who have educated themselves and are creating progressive change for the future: WA, OR, CO, AR, NY, OH, Il, PA, and MA.

Voted yes for 502 in WA!

Talk to the black families decimated by disproportionate enforcement of marijuana laws.

Your mind was decided before you entered that voting booth. It's not "easy access", you need to be diagnosed with life threatening medical conditions. It's not like the rules in CA and CO. You denied someone who is sick ease of pain and nausea.

This is a joke right?

Uh, the government shouldn't be telling you what you can and cannot put in your body? It's less harmful than alcohol?

Christ.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

This is what I'll be drinking tonight.

Pretty much sums up the entire election for me (as far as Republican tactics are concerned).

 

[JeTmAn81]

Marijuana tax.

BTW, I don't consider an income stream in and of itself justification for any change in law. You can never value the ends without considering the means.

 

[EricM85]

I voted no on marijuana in Washington State. I still haven't heard an argument for why legal, easy access to recreational pot would be good for the people of this state.

$500M+ in additional tax revenue per year.

 

[jtb]

BTW, I don't consider an income stream in and of itself justification for any change in law. You can never value the ends without considering the means.

And what are the means?

 

[Deified Data]

What's the least partisan network to watch tonight?

CNN seems to be in the middle, kinda, but they're full of moronic technology, like holograms and just plain morons so much so that I feel like my brain is rotting away.

Current is partisan as hell, but if Cenk Uygur thinks Obama's finished he's going to call it on the spot.

 

[Paches]

Chris Matthews just called for the death penalty for voter fraud. Lol.

 

[Donthizz#]

less Evangelical voters in Virginia voted this time around, good for Obama..

 

[Anton Sugar]

I voted no on marijuana in Washington State. I still haven't heard an argument for why legal, easy access to recreational pot would be good for the people of this state.

By the same token, can you make an argument for why legal, easy access to alcohol would be good for the people of your state? False equivalency, blah blah, but why would recreational marijuana access be bad for the state?

 

[TheContact]

BTW, I don't consider an income stream in and of itself justification for any change in law. You can never value the ends without considering the means.

now how about all the other reasons people gave you?

 

[Chiggs]

Uh, the government shouldn't be telling you what you can and cannot put in your body? It's less harmful than alcohol?

Christ.

Indeed. They'll start by telling you that you can't have marijuana, and then they'll tell you that Gingerbread Oreos are a no-go.

 

[Sanky Panky]

There is no way I won't be watching FOX news tonight. Please tell me Hannity will be part of the live coverage...

 

[JeTmAn81]

Your mind was decided before you entered that voting booth. It's not "easy access", you need to be diagnosed with life threatening medical conditions. It's not like the rules in CA and CO. You denied someone who is sick ease of pain and nausea.

We already have medical marijuana. Check your facts.

If those exits are right Obama wins easily.

I didn't get a sticker, thanks for nothing democracy.

Meh. 4/10. Would not read joke again.

 

[Deified Data]

Chris Matthews just called for the death penalty for voter fraud. Lol.

God, I hate that guy.

Treason? Maybe. Death? Shut up, guy.

 

[maquiladora]

Can't really tell anything from those CNN exit poll figures. Positives and negatives for both sides.

 

[commedieu]

I voted no on marijuana in Washington State. I still haven't heard an argument for why legal, easy access to recreational pot would be good for the people of this state.

Ignoring the medical benefits, which you can easily google.
- Banning it promotes the illegal drug trade, Which kills people.
- Alcohol, Oxycotin, and other way, way, way, more dangerous chemicals are legal.
- And oh yeah, cigarettes cause cancer.

Its not just about recreation.

I voted no on alcohol in Washington State. I still haven't heard an argument for why legal, easy access to recreational alcohol would be good for the people of this state

Why can't Evilore get Obama to post a thread in the OT :\

 

[Foothills]

If those exits are right Obama wins easily.

Those no content headlines are pushing drudge's traffic through the roof and he's laughing all the way to the bank with zero real information.

I'm not using one editorial endorsement to say that the NYT has a biased and favorable opinion of President Obama. Everyone and their mother knows that the NYT is biased and skewed to the left. It's the name of the game.

Of course I expected them to endorse Obama, but don't expect me, or the average person to take 538 or Nate Silver seriously when they're associated with an organization that has been in the Democratic parties pocket for decades.

538 was right on the Obama v. McCain campaign, but that was easy to call.

 

[Kusagari]

So Drudge on his website even says the exit polls for Ohio and PA suggest Obama.

LOL.

 

[Donthizz#]

oh oh.

[gwarm01]

And what are the means?

Access to a mostly benign chemical with a multitude of palliative medicinal qualities. Think of the children. I would hate for them to steal grandma's marijuana she gets due to her chemo treatments. I'd rather they steal her oxycontin.

CNN refuses to take a side. Called the last 2 debates a tie...

 

[JCizzle]

...

This is a joke right?

An impressive troll that has nabbed 5-6 posters already. Tonight is going to be glorious! Nervousness combined with half the posters being exhausted and a political edge = troll time for trolls.

It starts.

More like, Yaddle? Aw, YES!

Regardless of his success, or what he's done behind the scenes, there's something oddly sincere/genuine about the guy to me. Cool post.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

If those exits are right Obama wins easily.

If the toss-ups go R, it's a hell of a lot closer than I ever would've guessed.

You don't understand how less crime would benefit society? Even my 70 year old Catholic hard liner Right Wing parents understand this incredibly simple concept.
