Obama wins re-election

[BigBadBrian]

Seriously? Doesn't VA require a valid excuse to early vote?? ( I admit, I didn't look into it... )

In person absentee. Fed my ballot directly into the machine. 20 minute wait.

There's multitudes of reasons allowed: student, out of town on business, first responder, pregnant, disabled/can't stand in lines, on vacation, election poll worker, confined awaiting trial, hospitalized, religious obligation, medical care giver, childcare provider, working entire time polls are open, etc.

Did mommy help you?

It's funny, I was thinking to myself this morning looking at the line of people, I really pay too much attention to politics....

'Cause I bet I could guess at least 80% of the people's picks for President by just looking at them....

Very true...........as I stood in line I was playing the same game! Yep, he's voting for Romney.......she's voting Obama.

Kind of an oxymoron, isn't it

I did the same, sure hope this doesn't go to the wire like they are predicting!!

I doubt it.......I'm thinking Obama has it locked!

Agreed.... The networks may play it safe (and keep the ratings up) and not call Virginia or Ohio as quickly as they may have in the past though....

But I bet they'll call the election by 9pm....

Yeah........it's in the best interests of the networks to milk it for the ratings and if you really think about it........no one in the GOP really wanted Romney in the first place. That says volumes!

Nate Silver currently predicts Obama's going to get 314 electoral votes... hope he's as accurate as he was in '08.

Just read that, Jay.........no way is Mitt gonna get even close to 270, IMHO!

Just voted. I was surprised to see that in 3/4 of the races the choices were between republican and libertarian or republican only. Texas democrats just aren't challenging many incumbents this year.

Don't see it happening (legitimately) either. What infuriates me is that the race is even CLOSE.

Makes for good TV........if the media came out and said landslide for Obama, look at how much $$$(ratings) they would lose.

Out of a bunch of horrible candidates the GOP ran.......Mitt was the best they had! Doesn't say much for the Repukes and the Teabaggers are yesterday's news.

All of his big oil and corporate buddies who do biz in China sure did.

Over a billion dollars worth.
