US Presidential elections 2012

[The Nal]

Obama 88% chance to win last I looked.

Glad he's going to win, but christ what a massive let down he's been.

[russycarps]

If he can get control of congress it may be different.

[5co77ie]

...they may listen to him on climate change now I guess.

[5co77ie]

even Romney is saying that - although he's less likely to actually do anything.

[Wooderson]

70% of Nevada voters have cast their ballots already and Dems have lead of 40,000 votes. Romney would need to get just under 70% of remaining ballots to win.

Nevada+Wisconsin+Ohio and all the Gore/Kerry/'08 banker states = 271.

[metallimuse]

What's the banker states?Not heard that before or the Gore/Kerry reference.

Figures I saw yesterday had Obama on 197 plus the 34 votes you saying takes him to 231.

[metallimuse]

What does the term 'banker state' actually mean?

[russycarps]

states that are impossible for obama to lose I guess

romney will definitely win florida. That is one lousy state

[Wooderson]

[Wooderson]

Pat Power has a +/- on 303 Electoral votes on the 277 stated above + Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia.

Youre right tho Russ, Florida will more than likely turn red this time round.

[5co77ie]

What do we reckon - Ohio announces around 2.30am (our time) and it's all practically done and dusted by 3am?

[5co77ie]

They're 6 hours behind us right? - so 7 is 1am our time

Going by when they announced last time Ohio got their results in fastest of Virginia, N Carolina, and Florida - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7710163.stm

[TalkShow Bob]

It could go on for months if its a close as it looks. Both parties have armys of lawyers gearing up to fight the good fight...

[The Nal]

Romney up 90k votes in Ohio

[strummer77]

Romney up 90k votes in Ohio

[Wooderson]

Romney up 90k votes in Ohio

[Wooderson]

But its bullshit of the highest order.

As you were people. Steer clear of exit polls etc.

"A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning.

It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet – by law counting doesn’t start until the polls close.

Cincinnati.com regrets the error."

[The Nal]

Right so I'll ignore it till 9,30 tonight then.

[metallimuse]

I might end up missing it as I haven't been to bed since 4pm yesterday due to travelling to my dads and the fact he's got a full day planned for us tomorrow.Im on the verge of nodding off now.

[Ed209]

CNN currently reckon 47-50 to Obama in Ohio. I'm currently in Cali, I won't get to the bar until 6pm Pacific time, could be game set and match by that time.

Although there was some dude on CNN last night saying that if the young voters turnout drops by more than 2% then Obama's toast.

The fact Romney and Ryan are out in Ohio today when traditional candidates spend election day at home with their family shows that Romney is bricking it

[Ed209]

Just seen this

who knows if its true.
