If we tally up the current scores and add the west coast (all shoe-ins for Obama), Obama's already got 232 squared away.

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Wooo this is kind of fun to watch. With my election, I'm always either bored to death by election day, or getting too worked up about how my own shire/city/state is voting to really enjoy it. However, with the US, I don't really care. I mean, sure, I want 'Bamallamadingdong to win, but it isn't personal!

Is anyone here actually hoping on Romney winning this?
There are a couple, but their answers as to why are usually pretty flimsy or contradictory. :P

Now now MZ, let's not be a political snooty pie. :P

Sounds like Dr. Barack is heading in for a second term then? (This is the sort of sentence that will sound hilarious in a few hours if Mitt wins)

My trackers just decided to reverse the call on WI for some reason.

I know right! Those Americans treat it more like a sport than choosing a head of state...

Was North Carolina expected to be so close? 51/49 with 50% reporting or so
I have hears that there has been a much larger push this election in NC to get college students to vote, so that is probably effecting it some. (I am a college student in NC, but I have not seen the previous elections for comparison.)
As another NC college student, I can say that there was heavy campaigning by the Campus Democrats at App State because the Republican candidate for County Commissioner stated he was going to end on-campus voting. Nothing makes for better rhetoric than being able to truthfully say that the opposition is planning to disenfranchise you.

Akin and Mourdock both look set to lose, turns out the rapist vote isn't as strong as they might have hoped

Speaking of sports 'n games, is anyone doing a drinking game to this? A shot every time a state swings from one to the other, chug everytime a state is declared, finish the bottle of spirits when the election is over.

Looking at these numbers, there is a very, very low rate of votes for third parties...
