LETS ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!
I’ve got 2 plans
Fox is so far calling 3 electoral for the won and 19 for Romney.
Voted in the People’s Republic of Brooklyn!
Florida polls close at 7pm local time, but Florida is in two time zones.
They probably won’t report anything for Florida until 8pm eastern, when the polls in the western part of the state close.
Someone needs to get a news van with a satellite feed to Culver City, stat.
I have a feeling an epic disaster of biblical proportions is getting ready to unfold there tonight involving large quantities of stale Cheetos, the drinking from the wrong bottle of Mt. Dew & a large Corellator tool.
@ lobo91:
hey lobo, saw your post previous thread re food for Leia -- have you tried sweet potatoes/yams? When Molly won’t eat even chick and rice, those always win.
Current Senate standings Rep 37 Dems 30
@ eaglesoars:
check your email
Current House Numbers Rep 6 Dem 1
@ lobo91:
Ace had a link up a few hours earlier saying early exit-polling data from Volusia County was heavily favoring Romney.
hey ya’ll
tis been a bitter sweet day with the passing of NT2U and yet knowing
that barky is going down hard
she would not want us to be sad but enjoy the night and revel
in a Romney win
so
with that said
let’s PARTY!
eaglesoars wrote:
I’ve been sticking with stuff I know she likes. I’ve never given her sweet potatoes (mainly because I don’t like them, so I’ve never thought to give her any).
She ate all the chicken and rice, though.
Since all these numbers are coming in from the East coast which is largely a bastion of liberalism, this so far isn’t boding well for the dictatorial party.

In mine, Dean Longo is running against 20 year incumbent Bobby Scott & I haven’t seen where he’s gotten one iota of GOP support.

Colorado Springs is just the opposite. Obama and Biden were the only Democrats on my ballot. Every other race just had a Republican, and maybe some third party person.

At least here the primaries are usually contested. Doug Lamborn had about 5 opponents again this time.
But this area is about 70% Republican, so whoever wins the primary is going to win.
When I lived in Santa Fe, it was just the opposite. The Dems would have contested primaries, and there wouldn’t even be any Republicans on the ballot.

So far, so good in Virginia. Precinct data so far is favoring the GOP ticket top down.
The Northern Virginia D.C. suburbs is where it all hinges. Barky & Co. have created somewhere between 70-80k new government jobs there since he assumed dictatorship.

@ lobo91:
That’s the scenario I’ve seen -- winner in congressional district gets the electoral vote. State popular vote winner gets the two “senate” electoral votes.
@ 96cid:
The argument against it would be that the electoral vote totals would probably end up much closer, more in line with the popular vote, which would take away the illusion of a “mandate” for the winner.

Juan also believes people are getting “free” health screenings because of Obamacare. They really aren’t free, there is no co-pay but they are paid for with higher health insurance premiums.

Yes and ppl have been very kind.

Offspring is begging for Mickey D’s. I suppose I must relent.

@ 96cid:
And when they start cutting reimbursements, they won’t get anything but a shiny Obamacare card that nobody will take.
Just like my medical care from the VA.

Oh he’d be sly. But my point is he knows way more than his security clearance should allow
I am recalling more and more nicks from my long ago days at LGF.

Yeah, what’s with our VA cards. The VA never asks for them and no one else takes them.
