well that sounds a bit more right. The huffpo map I linked above was showing 65-35 Romney for the first few minutes it was up

just remember, there's states that won't even start counting for another few hours. Indiana/Kentucky closed the earliest and started
meanwhile, not sure what's up with vermont, HP's twitter stated-
[quote]VERMONT RESULTS: President Obama wins, the AP projects[/quote]
but it's not showing anything.

I'm seeing 3-8 all over the web, but the TV box(CBS) is saying 3-19.
Anybody know what that's about?

Interesting..I suppose it is one state? Im not sure.
[QUOTE=Firo;38347479]I'm seeing 3-8 all over the web, but the TV box(CBS) is saying 3-19.

West Virginia
And some other state
EDIT:
Could be Indiana as it's 57% Romney (huffingtonpost) + Kentucky.
i really don't understand what romney has done to prove that he is fit to be president that he's currently winning.. he literally flip flopped on everything, meanwhile obama has already done a lot in his 4 years. i truly like to think that half of america just hits a random button and votes for a random person. obama is the obvious choice, and yet, romney is standing a chance.

Dutch news shows 3-19 as well.
all the red states are pumping there results out as fast as possible to make it seem like romney is going to win. The second the west and east coast come in obama is going to fly past romney.
BBC has 3-24 at the moment

I mean it all depends on your views. If you wanted more programs for the poor, then yeah, you should or should've voted for Obama. ( or something other than that reason <) If you wanted less tax and more jobs you might go for Romney.
ABC is saying that Romney is leading by something like 26 to 6, but I have no idea if that's confirmed or just projections.
Also, am I the only one who would rather vote for Romney? Or is everyone here a die-hard Obama fan?
got 24 - 3 ( huffingtonpost )

except iirc romney wants to tax the poor and his plans are more focused on benefiting the higher classes.. how is that fair to middle and lower classes? he's so bias towards the rich that i'm honestly surprised he made it this far in the race without being eliminated for being bogus as fuck
Come on Obengo
Even people in Sweden are anxious and nervous over who becomes the next US president
All the Republican States are counting and being called first. No suspense.
Next up Romney wins Texas.
come on jill let's do this
america has a green future yes
Press and celebs in the Netherlands are more excited and anxious than during our own elections...
Now it's at 12-24, more Obama votes are appearing now

imo they both kinda suck.
im actually nervous as fuck, i dont want to see our country run into the ground because half of america doesn't know what the fuck is good for their own country.
Whats this outlaw abortion stuff that BBC is showing about Romney's policy?
gonna post this here to show a rough estimate of who'll be turning what color

at the moment apparently south carolina is wrecking at 75% of current tally in favor of obama somehow.
FL is turning blue
Vermont has finally started counting, but still shows a check for obama, west virginia still at zero percent showing a check for romney
also the electoral vote counts are all null at the moment, these states haven't finalized even a fraction of their tallies yet
oop ticker hit 12-24 though
obama just went back down to 3
Mitt won with 23%
wat
What the fuck, t'was just 12-14 and now 3-33

Yeah, but that map is based off polls. The system Nate Silver used was good, but it wasn't flawless. The election is completely up in the air as far as I'm concerned.
it's because south carolina apparently predicted the outcome

subject to change as tallies increase.
