Wow looks like obama in a landslide

Free money!!!

Well at least a couple of billionares got to spend their money. Sheldon Adelson spent what 100 million dollars for Mittens and Newt ?

Linda McMohan of the wrestling federation spent anywhere from 70-100 million of her own money for the two senate bids and came up zilch?

Oh and the infamous Koch brothers-how many millions did they plough into this race??

Given that CA is going Obama, I'm calling it for Obama now.

CA has 55 electoral votes, enough to push Obama over the needed number. Unless Romney somehow takes OH or FL at the last moment, but that's highly unlikely given the percentages in.

CNN already called OH for Obama and declared him the winner.

You're welcome!

Obama now has 258 evotes, Romney only 200. 270 is needed to win.

Once again the popular vote is evenly split, but the electoral vote, which is what counts, is a landslide. Obama has won.

I must say, the best thing about this election has been Google's coverage. They did a really nice job on the election results webpage.

And it's all HTML/AJAX. No flash.

If you mouse-over a state, it gives a popup with stats. Who the fuck is Gary Johnson? :) Sounds like a porn name.

I think Johnson was the third party candidate, along with Roseane Barr-though she only qualified to be on the ballot for a few states.

I've noticed a pattern in Florida and in the U.S. as a whole. Places that actually produce wealth are voting Democrat and places that are backwater, uneducated wastelands are voting Republican. Well, I guess that is always the case.

Libertarian. He gets about 0.5-1.0% of the vote in most states. In one state, he got a whopping 3%.

Google's coverage is good but CNN offers access to local ballot measures:

Obama just got 274 electoral votes. He's officially the winner.

Obama about to claim Colorado, making Ohio, Florida, and Virginia moot.

We will see a concession speech from Romney tonight.

The Senate most likely will have a slight Democratic majority, not a super majority though. So, expect more Republican filibustering on everything unless Obama grows a pair and has them intensively interrogated for doing that shit.

The House is leaning Republican, but a lot of CA hasn't reported in yet, so I expect that it will even out over the next few hours. Still, it looks probably that the House will have a Republican majority.

APOCALYPSEFUCK is Shostakovich says

Fox News will demand Obama surrender to ICE until his really, really, really long form birth certificate is produced and authenticated.

I think they are demanding the placenta this time.
