Predictions? Post who you're voting for and why. I figured I would make this a tad early for all the predictions.

why the fuck is Maine voting AGAINST legalizing same sex marriage??

this is the fucking 21st century. bunch of backwards hillbillies.

although, that is with a minimal amount of polling stations reporting. so it could change.

CNN reporting House will stay Republican.


Not really surprising, but Dems had a slim chance.

Only about 35% in right now. Way too early to call it. Once it gets to 75% and we see a major trend, then we can call it.

Come on. If they want to flip the vote one way or another, they will. They sure as fuck wouldn't have it show up on the screen like that.

If either candidate does not win Florida by at least one percent than the state has to do a recount. Yes you heard that, the magic word. This could very well not be over anytime soon.

On a side note, the Republicans will officially still hold the majority in the house. Not surprising though.

No surprise there. The senate will be more interesting but the dems will probably hold it.

Clearly you didn't get what I was implying at when I said I would be fatter. I honestly can't tell when you're sarcastic or being serious because you're just so dumb.

Over 400,000 votes have been tallied so far. That represents about 8% of Colorado's total population.

Nothing surprises Bill.Nye. He knows everything, and if he doesn't, well, he still knows everything, and you're wrong for thinking that he didn't know it.

Florida seems like its going to be the key state here. Romney has to win FL if he has any decent chance of winning the election.
