Landslide!

President Obama may as well concede.

Landslide!

65% in New Hampshire for Obama! Oh...1% reporting. Carry on.

Lol, that's funny

But when you readjust the numbers to unspin the poll he is clearly losing that state by 30%, oh, you can't do that to election results?

Seems wrong to announce results coming in early, but what do I know.

I've said all along that there is only one poll that counts. And it is taking place right now.

Maybe we should take a poll to see who will win?

 

[cow451]

but what do I know.

I have often wondered that myself.

I have been quite clear that these are only partial, early results.

In that vein, Indiana is starting to report in also heavily in Romneys favor and again no surprises there.

Too soon....is an ongoing theme with the news media.

IME, those who are first are often wrong.

So who's covering what media with their outlandish reporting tonight???? I refuse to listen to anything but maybe BBC London, SRN or maybe FOX for a little bit. :O

Florida also closes in 15 minutes (7PM EST)... however the "pre voting" turnout (not my term, Ms Snipes term ) was huge with nearly 350,000 between early voting and absentees, which means a long count....

IDK if we really had that many people show up to vote today. . . though lines were unbelievably long in many areas... I think it's from 2 things : 1, the ballot is the longest in history plus it's confusing and if you didn't work on your sample ballot the week before, you have no idea what you're reading or doing, and 2. people brought their children to wait in line and see the process . Many people may have left when they saw 1/2 mile long lines, IDK.

Anyway, when you hear of record voting in FL... wait and see if it really was a high turnout of voters (I hope so!)

PLUS don't count the SE part of FL (Broward and Miami-Dade counties) out of the running for Romney... there is a high Jewish population which inherently vote Democratic, but local Rabbis urged them to vote for Romney because of Obama turning on Israel. (Don't yell at me, I'm just reporting the facts.)

Toward my earlier post: 28 votes Obama vs 14 votes Romney in New Hampshire. Lol
