Romney leads by 34,000 votes in Wisconsin with 32% reporting (51.3% to 47.6%).

They've already called Wisconsin for Obama

 

[PreachersWife2004]

at last check, Romney had 174 EV to Obama's 173.

Definitely a nailbiter.

Looks premature.

 

[drjean]

Nope, because of the three counties that are underreported, only one is leaning Romney, and has the lowest population. Miami-Dade and St. Lucie represent larger populations and are overwhelmingly favoring Obama. St. Lucie is currently the lowest, and is leaning towards Obama. Romney took a sudden jump because most of Santa Rosa reported in one fell swoop, but since the majority of counties with lower reporting rates lean Obama, Obama has an edge.

Both Osceola and Orange county are north of the I-4 corridor...

I'm at anywhere between 87k & 96k (depending on how my company does for the year)

By the time I pay federal, state, local, residence, and work-city taxes, I lose around 40%.

I lose about 17k-20k from federal alone.

That's great - i'm in your tax bracket. And vehemently oppose Romney - which puts me somewhat de facto in the Obama camp (although i didn't vote for Obama).

What does "Internet rich guy" mean?

I understand where you're coming from...I used to be liberal when I was your age too. When you're not actually on the paying end of the socialist plan, it doesn't sound as bad. As soon as you start getting the bill for it, it changes your tune pretty quick.

On this matter, I like the Thomas Sowell quote

I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money

I also like the quote "If you're not liberal at 20, you have no heart...If you're not conservative by 40, you have no brain"

Now it's 'internet old guy'? You've got six years on me, if your age is accurate. You're not Socrates, and your life experience is likely a great deal narrower than you would like to think.

Although if you'd like to discuss your maturity and worldly wisdom as it pertains to the belief that your home is going to be forcibly populated with homeless people, I'd be happy to have that conversion

Romney 189 to Obama 173

Wisconsin now favors obama by a single point.

 

[Thunder Peel]

Obama will still take Wisconsin. Cities like Madison and Green Bay will push it over the top. Only the very bottom of the state is truly conservative.

Thought it'd already been called?

 

[ThatRobGuy]

So is it safe to assume that you don't mind that the federal government takes $20k from you and invests it in things like bailing out unions and purchasing toxic assets?

 

[drjean]

If Obama has his way? It'll be by paying 45% instead of the 40%

I just can't pay the proposed increase for my private health care and will have to cancel it and go on the government dole if Obama wins.... which is bad enough... except I won't get care, as Mr Obama has already told people like me to go home and prepare to die... take the little blue pill instead of the one to help me. Elderly and disabled...according to him, people like me have nothing to contribute to society and need to allow those (18-40) have the necessary things for productive living...


ROMNEY GETS NC?

 

[Thunder Peel]

Thought it'd already been called?

It has. Only 35% of the votes are in but it's doubtful that the state would swing red, Scott Walker and Paul Ryan aside.

So what about the wars?

 

[Sistrin]

North Carolina has just been called for Romney.

 

[Thunder Peel]

Fox just called North Carolina and Idaho for Romney. Washington, California, and Hawaii are all for Obama. Again, no big upsets.

 

[Vylo]

No shocker, CA, WA and HI all called for Obama immediately.

223-173 Obama, any chances of a Romney landslide just completely evaporated.

 

[JBJoe]

Rove is calling it for Romney in Ohio based on the counties not reporting yet

I'm calling Ohio for Obama based on Rove being an idiot. I doubt I will be wrong on BOTH of those.

 

[ThatRobGuy]

Now it's 'internet old guy'? You've got six years on me, if your age is accurate. You're not Socrates, and your life experience is likely a great deal narrower than you would like to think.

Yes, and a lot happens in those 6 years. (as with your 20's as a whole)

If it were an age difference of 69-63, you'd have a point.

Although if you'd like to discuss your maturity and worldly wisdom as it pertains to the belief that your home is going to be forcibly populated with homeless people, I'd be happy to have that conversion

Apparently you left your joke detection off...

Great news on the local front!!! Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin just conceded the Senate race to Claire McCaskill. He's losing 51-42%. His ignorant and offensive comments have cost the Repubs a Senate seat they should have won easily. Even more remarkable considering that Romney is winning big in the Presidential vote (no surprise there.)

When will right wingers get the message? Voters may not like abortion, but they don't want it criminalized.
