I figured we should have a thread on it...

As this is a political thread, try not to be at each other's throats.

YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE

but seriously speaking, all my liberal friends are afraid that Romney is winning and all my conservative friends are afraid that Obama is winning

Obā-san · 2012-11-06 22:43:23

and then Vermin Supreme won.

the end

Justice4243 · 2012-11-06 22:49:16

Of EVERYTHING.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-06 22:50:02

I'm using Huffington Post's thing to keep track: http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/results

Justice4243 · 2012-11-06 22:52:10

Also, things are looking kinda grim for Romney, me thinks. It's not like there's a great chance Obama isn't going to get California.

Spacey · 2012-11-06 22:53:22

Did they say who got Wisconsin?

Obama.

^Oh god we finish each other's sentences now :P

Imipolex G · 2012-11-06 22:56:07

...now?

Spacey · 2012-11-06 22:57:22

Really? Wouldn't have expected that, everyone and their dog around here have a Romney/Ryan sign on their front lawn.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-11-06 23:12:04

Fox News has Obama back in the lead

Obā-san · 2012-11-06 23:12:58

i am watching with google, they say larry page is in the lead again

Imipolex G · 2012-11-06 23:16:07

who won pennsylvania?

Anonus · 2012-11-06 23:16:40

NBC says Obama won the election.

Princess Alice · 2012-11-06 23:17:11

Obama is at 268, according to Huffington Post's thing, so yeah, he's pretty much got this in the bag.

Obā-san · 2012-11-06 23:17:54

ishygd(*shot*)

Anonus · 2012-11-06 23:17:56

NBC says he's at 274.

Tre · 2012-11-06 23:18:01

BHO.

criminalscum · 2012-11-06 23:19:31

I think a lot of the media is stalling with Florida so they won't have to call it for Obama.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-11-06 23:22:40

Fox News just called it for Obama

criminalscum · 2012-11-06 23:23:37

Ah, cool.

So what's going on with Puerto Rico's statehood and marijuana legalization?

Imipolex G · 2012-11-06 23:24:04

well that's ok with me

obama, I mean.

Well, they can legalize the weed too, I don't care.

i think that makes it a done deal there.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-06 23:29:07

No kidding, I can only assumed the grape drink was brought out shortly after that announcement.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-07 00:35:44

Looks like Obama is also going to get one or two more of the swing states.

This time, it looks like the popular vote will be pretty close, though Obama seems to be winning that, as well.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-07 00:43:19

I also love how they left California empty until something like 1% of the vote came in and they where like "Haha, we're done pretending. Obama totes has this one in the bag."

Seems like that was the same strategy for the rest of the west coast.

lee4hmz · 2012-11-07 00:45:28

lee4hmz · 2012-11-07 00:47:19

Also, both Virginia SBE and CNN are saying Obama has won Virginia.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-07 00:55:08

My county is over 75 Obama with 50% of the votes in.

We pretty much bleed blue here.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-11-07 00:56:55

And the recent nominee for World's Most Important Hawaiian handily defeats a giant piece of uncooked HuFu.

Justice4243 · 2012-11-07 00:58:38

Maybe Romney will still win Florida...and like...we'll find out a quarter of the nation actully lives in Alaska in underground caves and it'll be worth 100 electoral votes.

Spacey · 2012-11-07 01:00:33

That would be, like, the most shockingly dramatic twist yet,

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-11-07 01:02:36

^^ And all of them will vote for Rocky Anderson.

Awesome.

Obā-san · 2012-11-07 01:10:40

Ace Rimmer · 2012-11-07 04:01:44

I'm surprised by the margin of the victory tbh

Gelzo · 2012-11-07 04:54:33

Alright. My state legalized gay marriage and recreational use of weed. I celebrated with booze and bud with my bro. I'm happy as fuck.

News just in, Obama has been awarded a second Nobel Peace Prize "for being the first ethnic minority to be voted president twice" "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.... again".

Yes, I'm being facetious.

Obā-san · 2012-11-07 08:24:27

To recap:

Obama was re-elected as President.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in Maine, Washington, Maryland, and Minnesota (kind of).

Recreational marijuana is now legal in Colorado and Medical marijuana is legal in Massachusetts.

Wisconsin elected the first ever openly gay senator.

...Things went better than expected.

Anonus · 2012-11-07 08:27:31

It's only legal if you're at least 21, you know

sunn wolf · 2012-11-07 08:29:10

Obā-san · 2012-11-07 08:29:41

that is fine

Princess Alice · 2012-11-07 08:30:07

I'm 22, silly.
Smoking weed isn't the main reason I want to go to Colorado and you damn well know it

sunn wolf · 2012-11-07 08:30:22
