Election 2012: Presidential Thread

The first votes are in, I guess we can track things in this thread.


May God have mercy on America.

God is an incoherent concept that doesn't even qualify as a figment of the imagination. We need more mercy than that.

This is a historic day. It will be forever remember as the first time we reelected a black president. :us:

With 0.0000000000000001% of precincts reporting in, Fox News has called it for Romney and MSNBC has called it for Obama. Developing...

Developing . . . Wordforge has called it for Gary Johnson.

Also developing . . . Wordforge wonders why it doesn't have an influx of new members.

Are these two connected?

You make the call!

Leg up for the Christians, then. The rest of us can't even hope for reinforcements.

How much fun it must be, to knock down straw men.

Tell me, can you point to a single Wordforger who says they believe Gary Johnson will win?

^ It's Liet. The things he whines about don't have to have any connection with reality. In his mind, the jump from "A lot of Wordforgers (maybe even a majority) prefer Johnson to Obama or Romney" to "A solid majority of Wordforgers think Johnson will win" is only a question of reformulation. He thinks the two are equivalent.

Perhaps they come in, see your severe mental retardation and think this is a forum for those with disability?

The most productive discussion would be what to call the goading thread when your candidate wins. (note: participation will be a waste of time for Romney-ites)

I'd favour one of:

- It's OBAMA!
- Fuck you Mitt!
- Mormon? Moron!
- Boo hoo republicans

If Barry doesn't win, then what is Maud going to moan about for the next 4 years??

He will moan about Mitt.

Are you guys really so stupid you forget him moaning about Dubya?

I'm waiting in line right now. This is by far the longest line I've been in for any election. It's probably due to the Warren/Brown race.

Are you kidding, he's still fighting battles from 150 years ago.

I'll stop on the way home tonight. There's nothing about this that gets me excited enough to want to rush out and do it.

Say, does anyone have any election tracking apps they recommend? There are several, I'd love to know which one is just "super".

Too obvious??

FTFY

Fuck, as late as a couple days ago, Obama was still whining about Bush, so I don't see why Muad couldn't whine about Obama.

(But he'll probably whine about Romney, as mentioned above.)

OH MY GOD THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!

Seriously, the only thing conservatives can hang on to is the fiction that the polls are biased or that Dem voter turnout will be low. Without that, they've got nothing.

Romney is kicking Obama's butt!

....

The polls aren't even closed yet. Romney has Kentucky and Obama has Vermont ATM so it's 11 to 3 Romney...

I'll be interested to see an actual swing state close. Obama's up in NH 68% to 31% with 5% reporting.

CNN called WV and IN for Romney. 24-3 Romney.

Whole bunch of polls closed. CNN calls it 64-40 Obama at the moment.

Seems they called Illinois for Obama the minute polls closed there. I know that'll be a shocker to some wordforgers.

ABC has it 57-40, I wonder which state they aren't counting.

FL is razor thin ATM. With 42% if precincts reporting, it's Obama by 40,000 votes or so. Holy shit!!

Damn it, if Florida stretches this clusterfuck out again, I'm going to be pissed. Politics is so bad this year I'm actually looking forward to Christmas lights replacing yard signs.

MSNBC has it at 82-64 for Romney.
