ITT: We discuss the upcoming 2012 elections in the USA. There will be wildly disparate poll numbers, quotes taken out of context, twice as many mentions of Ron Paul here as the number of votes he’ll actually receive, and in the end, as always, no matter who wins, we all lose.
Incumbents:
President: Barack Obama (D)
House: GOP 242 – Dem 193
Senate: Dem 53 – GOP 47
Obama did much better in the second debate, we'll have to see how the final debate will go though before the election winner can be predicted.
Oh, my poor thread. I'm so sorry I neglected you but it just got boring after all the nuts were weeded out of the Republican primary.
If you're like me, you've all been locked alone in an interior room of the house without television, radio, or an Internet connection, eating cold MREs and ignoring every knock at the door because the ads/party operatives are everywhere all the time. RELAX, IT'S ALMOST OVER!
This morning, electoral-vote.com is calling it a solid Obama victory with 294 electoral votes to Romney's 220 and the 24 up for grabs. That's if their aggregate polls actually hold true (reminder: 270 needed to win). States that could shake it up include Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. If you live there, consider voting! If this is the first time you've heard this suggestion and you live in one of those states, consider having your hearing checked!
Today's the day.
Now that I look at >>102, it shows how much Romney and Obama got, but not how much the other guys got. I know it will be next to nothing, but I'd still like to know.
We have some results! As of about 2AM EST, most outlets are reporting that Obama has won, taking both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Florida could go either way, but at this point, it doesn't really matter. (You can't go all 2000 on us this year, Florida!)
President:
✔Obama (D) 303 +/- 29
Romney (R) 206 +/- 29
Senate:
✔Democrats: 51 +/- 2
Republicans: 45 +/- 2
Independents 2 (both are left-leaning)
House:
✔Republicans: 226 +/- 33
Democrats: 176 +/- 33

Gay Marriage passed in Maine, and pot was legalized in WA!
>>106
Pot legalized in CO, too. Ironically, it was probably because all of the Obama voters.
Johnson won one percent of the popular vote.
>>107
Oh? Why's that ironic? Has Colorado been against pot in the past? Sorry I don't know anything about that state.
( ﾟ ヮﾟ) Puerto Rico voted for statehood!
>>106
I think something legalizing gay marriage was also passed in Spain recently. Hopefully more will follow.
>>107 Oregon voted for Obama to, but we didn't legalize pot here!
Linking Obama with pot legalization is quite a stretch.
>>110
A quick look on Wikipedia says that Spain legalized gay marriage nation wide in 2005, unless there had been some region where it was not allowed that was overturned recently?
