Another note about FL: People who didn't get their absentee ballots mailed in couldn't take them to their precinct, now they have to take them to the County office! (Because of the debacle with Gore.) So there are going to be a long count especially in the big counties of the SE: Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade.

Florida has automatic recount unless there is a 1% spread.

Florida is going to be a headache tonight. I don't want to call it too early, but Ohio looks good for Obama.

 

[kelkel]

current vote:

Romney: 149 electoral votes

Obama: 147 electoral votes

Yeah, but Ohio and all...

(And once again I was involved in the issue with absentee ballots in my county... and I filed an inquiry asking where my primary ballot and main election ballot went!)

Depending on how other states go, the Florida problem may just be academic.

 

[drjean]

"The Florida problem" is never just academic! (Oh please don't say recount! Lord we need a large difference~)

Florida: where elections are bought and sold.

Obama can get 270 without Florida and do so much more easily than Romney. It may indeed be unnecessary to the race as a whole.

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

Ohio is the concern. But, it is too close to call.

Fox: says REP will retain control of House

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

GOP retains control of Congress.

 

[Redac]

Is Obama winning Missouri so far? Wow. Won't last, but still.

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

GOP may pick up seats in House.

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

Romney leading in Wisconsin lol 1% of results

 

[Jeffwhosoever]

If Obama wins, GOP hold Congress, Democrats hold Senate, we have 2 more years of fighting ahead.

 

[Nabobalis]

143 - 153 Romney

 

[drjean]

I can't imagine VA going to Obama... nah.

There were (and still are) leftist and socialist forms of Libertarianism. Noam Chomsky is a left libertarian for example.

Libertarian socialism (sometimes called social anarchism,[1][2] and sometimes left libertarianism)[3][4] is a group of political philosophies that promote a non-hierarchical, non-bureaucratic society without private property in the means of production. Libertarian socialists believe in converting present-day private productive property into the commons or public goods, while retaining respect for personal property.[5] Libertarian socialism is opposed to coercive forms of social organization. It promotes free association in place of government and opposes the social relations of capitalism, such as wage labor.[6] The term libertarian socialism is used by some socialists to differentiate their philosophy from state socialism[7][8] or by some as a synonym for left anarchism.[1][2][9]
