Fox has called Ohio for Obama. Game over.

Black Swan

Romney served as the former Governor of MA. The MA voters probably know Romney better than any other citizens in the country, having experienced his governance first hand. The majority of MA voters made him governor back then, but now this majority of voters are voting for Obama and not Romney. What does this mean?

Whoa, Brian Williams of NBC has now called the election for Obama.

Fox News shows Obama winning Presidency.

It means the same thing as when Gore lost Tenn. Some states won't ever vote the other party for national office. Ever.

Democrats retain control of the Senate.

Fox are hilarious, i'm aware of their reputation of course but when you see it for yourself it really is something else.

In the end it wasn't even that close.

Typing this from gas station. Person pulls up at pump next to me, looks at fuel price and says to wife "3.87. Must be an election week" (was almost a dollar higher last month)

OK, so congratulations Obama. Now, to look at the races that are actually important: The State governments and propositions. Will I have higher income tax or sales tax tomorrow, or neither?

Capt'n Midnight

what will the margin be ?

BBC just called it for Obama

What about California? They haven't been counted yet? I know Obama doesn't need it. . . .

Chicago is one of the great world cities.

In fact, I was named after the guy who had one of the greatest restaurants in the city's history, at 500 North Clark St.

Love that town, passionately.

Karl Rove is still in denial on Fox...LOLOLOLOLOL.

Anyone else sort of impressed by the accuracy of Nate Silver in the end? Also, did Romney ever get around to writing the concession speech.....

Dems will get over 300 just as Nate predicted.

No, but I am impressed by the ability of the Republican party to continue to be their own worst enemy.

Now the Fox Bots are interviewing their own pollsters about why they are calling the election for Obama. HI-LARIOUS.

Karl Rove disputing the Fox call in Ohio. Embarrassing stuff.

What is Rove at???

First I thought it was a shameful attempt to create their own little bit of drama to keep folks tuned in but even their own people are calling him phoney now

They're about to disappear up the black hole of their own spin.

Romney said earlier he only wrote an acceptance speech. Someone pass him an envelope and a biro.

Yeah, I love how the statisticians were like "Obama won. Feck off."

Watching FOX cut to commercial while Rove frantically scribbles numbers... sigh.

I used to have a grudging respect for Rove. Hated him but respected him. If he's wrong on this he's a bufoon.

He asked something about military votes a couple of hours back and hasn't been seen since.

He's a bufoon because his company has invested heavily in trying to get Romney elected, and now him and his investors are going to get hit hard. lol

That would suggest, somewhat, that the Republican party is right about everything but fails to advertise itself correctly.
Ever consider that it's not just that?

I think we should all leave him be. He's lost a lot tonight.

Ahahahahaha. Not sure if you're serious or not, either way it's hilarious.

He's probably after pouring milk into his pc, cut his own phone lines and put plugs in his ears.

Chuckles Krauthammer saying Obama has no mandate. What about the one give by the constitution?

Spin, spin, spin.

Given that their right-wing candidates lost easy seats in the Senate, and their candidate couldn't beat Obama even given the state of the economy, I'd say that voters have sent a message to the GOP.

They don't need to be right about everything. There are enough Americans who think they are right about enough policies to make their candidates viable. They then proceed to sabotage themselves, usually by saying something which alienates those who would otherwise vote for them.
