US Election 2012

[Pandemonium]

Voted this afternoon with my wife. By far the largest turnout I've ever seen at my local polling place and it seemed to be a lot of older people... like, um... me. I might have to revise my opinion of an Obama landslide win, but I still think he'll keep his job.

[creep]

i haven't voted on which election thread i will be posting in tonight. i think the other one may win.

[SR]

I never thought this would be a landslide. I'm not sure how media manipulation would increase their profits. Seems that those inclined to watch would do so with a cliffhanger or not what with the senate races, initiatives, etc.

Of those watching, what coverage are you watching? God, Diane sawyer gets on my last nerve.

I'm listening to CBC radio's special coverage 'America Votes'
I'll probably watch some of the coverage here.

Dear God. Most of the coverage is getting on my nerves. I could not sit through CNN, MSNBC, or PBS. CBS with Scott Pelley has been the most watchable and hasn't annoyed me (yet).

[chaos]

CBS just projected a PA win for Obama.

It's getting close to forgotton historical footnote time. Romney who?

Either way, we're all dead eventually.

[chaos]

FL is stressing me out with 83% of the votes in; 50% for each candidate with Romney leading by 636 votes.

[creep]

cnn seems to be a little more responsible in declaring states winners. other networks are calling way early.

Miami-dade isn't in.

Yeah, she annoys the hell outta me too. it's funny, because I like everyone else that anchors the ABC Nightly News over the other 2 networks and only switch it off if she's anchoring (which is roughly about 60% of the time these days).

Also kinda disturbing that the projected and "confirmed" electoral results so far differ wildly between all five major tv news outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and CNN). You'd think with 21st century tech, they'd be getting and disseminating info and reporting close to the same conclusions.

[Hype]

Congratulations America, on not being overrun by idiocy. MITTWHO?

Scott Brown is gone too!

[chaos]

CBS just projected that Elizabeth Warren won the Massachusetts Senate Race against Scott Brown. I hope they are right. I am not a Brown fan.

[creep]

now if the democrats lose the senate obama will get nothing done....not that he has done a whole lot the first four years.

[chaos]

Scott Brown is gone too!

I hear Mourdoch is gone too. Seriously fuck those women-hating asshats.

Yeah, and the HUGE fuck up 8 years ago. They all have to have a minimum threshold they adhere to to make the call. I'd be surprised if there are any reversals though. In spite of philosophical divides, there are some very capable/smart people in broadcasting.

Looks good here for us so far; the house not so...

[SR]

oh shit!!! I have financial alerts set up on my iPad. "Futures slide as news of Obama projection in pa".

[Hype]

House is irrelevant once Obama gets a couple more good judges in the Supreme Court (3 more are likely to retire this term).

[SR]

Sweet irony as Florida looks like it will be Romney's knell.

[farrellgirl99]

im watching cnn but they are doing so many different poll numbers from different counties, its information overload. i just love the silver fox.

happy he won PA. florida is so close. but looks like bam could pick up colorado and iowa. he needs ohio and its over
