Yeah, I might be right about Virginia!

Take that Nate Silver. (He had it 79.4% Obama)

It currently looks like Obama is going to take it. He just got PA, and Ohio looks bad for Romney. That's almost a wrap right there.

Interestingly, 5 of 6 of our ballot proposals in MI were soundly defeated, and the last is a toss-up. I'm not unhappy. I like the state rejecting that type of governance.

I visit an uber-right wing chat room occasionally and they're all going to bed. This morning they were talking amazing amounts of trash, now not so much. It will be interesting to see who was the closest in the hubski election predictions

I know what they are feeling. You watch the map, and think, maybe... no. But what if?... no.

It's hard following this without cable. It's nice to switch between the channels and get the viewpoints of the pundits just this one day of the year. I'm watching an NBC stream.

I'm just watching the sites.

I can't believe Florida. A vote in Florida is serious business.

Yeah, it really is. Could be less than 50k votes deciding. That's not a lot. I think of Michigan Football Stadium and that's less than 1/2 of the stadium in a very big state. Seems Romney needs to sweep the rest of the "contested" states.
