Results look as expected thus far. Obama however is performing better than I expected in Florida thus far and he's ahead by 3 point currently with 35 percent in.

That hold true to the end, it's pretty much over. Willard could take Virginia, Ohio, and Colorado and still fall short. And if Obama takes Ohio too, then we might see this whole thing called before midnight.

A reminder I saw on Twitter a while ago.......Don't start worrying about the Virginia numbers for a while. The Republican-heavy areas apparently always report earlier than the Dems.

By this point, I'm paying more attention to the popular vote than to the state votes. Because if Obama's leads in Ohio and Florida hold, then the best Willard can hope for is that he wins the popular vote so as to claim Obama has no "mandate."

I suspect it won't be a long night.
I did go vote this afternoon, and was surprised by how quiet it was. All 5 booths were full, but there was no line. When I went to sign in most of the people listed on the same sheet as I had printed by their name "MAIL BALLOT". Only about 1/4th were going to be warm bodies to begin with, and most them I noticed had already voted.
Anyway, with all the early balloting and absentee balloting the numerous election clerks around this country will have a substantial number of votes lined up for counting/announcing at poll closing times.
As far as the Presidential race is concerned, I expect the answer to be pretty clear within an hour after polls close out here (i.e., midnight on the east coast.)

I was going to say earlier that I felt bad for Frum in coming days, as moderates are very likely to be the target of the Tea Party's ire in the face of what they're not going to no doubt view as Willard's "proof" that moderation is the wrong path to greatness for the GOP.
Now? He deserves every ounce of the hate he's gonna have coming his way.

Speaking as a Canadian, that appears odd to me. My thought was, "Look at how divided the votes are. There's very few close races. One candidate or the other wins by a big, often huge margin."
Is that how it usually works? If not, the political divide in the U.S. is shocking to me.
Most states are not competitive at all. There are 9-10 swing states that can go either way, and these will decide the election.

There are actually 2 questions on the ballot for it. First is Status Quo vs Change Relationship. The 2nd is Change how (Independence, statehood, or more autonomy).
Statehood might be winning question 2, but if question 1 goes to status quo it wont matter. Can you find anywhere that has that breakdown?

Blood Angels red with a Nuln Oil wash, then drybrusing with red and orange. Gold trim. They are darker then the standard World Eater palette, but still very Khornate. They get a lot of coverage in the new Chaos Codex. It seems they went insane from poltergeist activity and whisperings at night after a massive world wide cult purging, and ended up trying to stop the haunting through bloodshed. Khorne accepts his gifts from all, of course...
Nice. I always used the darker reds for Khornates, like the scab red and tin, then highlight them with brighter colors.

re: #356 Romantic Heretic
Thanks.
I'm glad I live in Canada. We have our divisions but even in Quebec most don't hate the rest of the country.
Toronto on the other hand is hated by everybody.
GO LEAFS GO! :P
Trust me, as a Canadian now living here in America, the political scene is significantly different and WAY more partisan than anything I saw up North.
For anyone interested in some non U.S. election coverage, two good Canadian sites are:
www.ctvnews.ca
and
www.cbc.ca

Still can't bring myself to harsh on him too much, he reminds me of what I could've been
I can. Hell, I was a dyed in the wool Republican. I voted McCain/(shudder)
Palin in 08. Then Obama won it and my party went not only off the rails, over the cliff but they then started digging to the lowest depths of depravity they could reach.
I pulled the rip-cord at that point. DF on the other hand wants to smack into the ground at terminal velocity.
For what? Nation be damned, Party comes first?
Fuck that.
