— andy Good evening morons, moronettes and assorted Internet folk. This, right here, is what we've been waiting for since we sat forlornly looking at the el-cheapo, pre-broken plastic skittles-shitting unicorn we got in November 2008 thanks to the 53% idiots being suckered by those commercials that made it look all cool and stuff.
No more! At worst, the SCOAMF/T limps across the goal line having run out the clock with a big assist from the replacement refs in the MFM. But the only mandate he'll have will be Reggie Love.
And, of course, there's the upside case. We may just have us a new President-elect. I doubt he'll surround himself with the trappings of the titular office like you-know-who did.
We'll know shortly, Lord willing.
In honor of the momentousness of this occasion, the old liveblog software has been brought out of retirement. Or, rather, bought out. It better not suck.
Also, in addition to the usual liveblog cast of characters, CAC's AoSHQ Decision Desk tweets will also appear in the chat stream, so you'll simultaneously be the most entertained and informed people on the planet as the results roll in.
Remember, comments are moderated so be funny, insightful or bribe the mods if you want them to make the cut. And of course we'll play favorites as usual so there's that (apologies in advance to Wiserbud).
Enough blabbing. Let's do this thing!

Hmm. Outta Jack. Anyone ever drink Evan Williams? I won it at a few years back at a charity raffle. Is it rot gut? I'm not that desperate yet.

Give them what they want. Stop playing tug of war. Let go of the rope. Let them hang themselves with it.
If a majority of the American people voted for that, give it to them, in spades. Meanwhile, we prepare. We entrench, and we wait for them to devour themselves.

Should TFG win this, it's the low information voter who doesn't know what F&F is, thinks a video caused Benghazi, thinks Obama cares about them, etc
The MBM can't cover for the JEF forever. Shit is coming and even the low information voter won't be more informed about Twilight and Glee than the economy and foreign affairs.
The media can be a bedrock of democracy or a shill for a tyranny. We know that the MBM is not the former

Well if Romney does lose (God forbid) he's got a second career lined up as an actor.
He looked so calm and cool and confident in the weeks leading up to this.

Worse record of any President, an idiot for VP and he consistently beats his betters. Someone is not paying attention.
On the other hand idiots are amusing in that they think there will be no repercussions for innate behavior.
Feel sorry for Israel and all those who depended on the US to defend their freedom. Those days are gone.

There is still only half the vote counted in Ohio.
Hang on to your butts, people.
And the Panhandle is yet to be counted in Florida.
Wisconsin was projected way too early.
Romney takes Virginia and North Carolina. Fer Shure.

It looks like everything is in except Miami-Dade, which you'd expect would break heavily to O.
Yet Obama camp basically conceded it ages ago.

There are uncounted votes out there that hold the future.
Colorado is going to go for Romney, with Ohio, Florida, N. Carolina and Virginia.

I voted against Lugar and I knew he was the safe choice. I also knew Mourdock was an inferior candidate. What was more important, though, was that Lugar and other RINO uber-moderates be put on notice: become a Beltway creation and live for 30 years in another state, far from the people you claim to represent, and you lose your fucking job. Good riddance. Let Virginia have him.

FL is close, but panhandle not yet reported, I think.

The SC liquor stores were actually closed today...like it's a holiday. WTF? Luckily my North State is a little more pragmatic about tax collections. I, personally, am drinking Rebel Yell (and I prefer it to sour mash). The 'druther is Maker's Mark, but the Reb's been around in Louisville since 1849. And it's Valu-Rite. And I like the label.

If Ohio is close, and it comes down to Ohio (both seemingly likely at this point), then we may not know who won the election until all the provisional ballots are accounted for. . .this could take weeks.

In Michigan,
1. Prop 1, which would allow emergency managers to renegotiate contracts with unions, looks like it will pass.
2. Prop 2, which would invalidate nearly all existing laws limiting public sector unions, failed soundly.
3. Prop 3, a 25% renewable energy mandate, failed soundly.
4. Prop 4, the forced unionization of home healthcare workers, failed soundly.
(Now, how Michigan can vote so rightly on these four and still vote Obama, you tell me.)

I'm just going to say this before I go to bed to all the fucktards who valued free shit over freedom tonight: if, as it seems likely, Obama pulls this out, whatever happens now, you own it. When the economy collapses, you own it. When the United States goes bankrupt, you own it. When the dollar is no longer the world's reserve currency, you own it. When a barrel of oil is over $200, you own it. When unemployment is over 25%, you own it. When Iran starts World War III and puts Israel under a bucket of sunshine (Samson Option, anyone?), you own it. When China turns east Asia into its own collection of suzerainties, you own it.
Good night, and good fucking luck. You're going to need it.

How many of those House members are prepared to go to war with the administration?
They might bring down Obama, but they might also foreshorten their own political careers.
A Darrell Issa isn't in Congress to make money, and he'll never get to the Senate given the electoral composition of California, but there's a lot of other folks who would probably prefer to roll over and play nice.

Hispanics are culturally conservative, they should be natural republicans.
Is amnesty the only way to get them?

Yes but you must also be happy about it.. Plus health care. Plus more health care. Pkus food dtamps. Plus bilingualism. Also say nice things during Hispanic Heritage Month. Well, that's a start.

"WI is still up in the air. FL still has red counties in the panhandle. It isn't over until it's really over."
Sorry, Sarah, WI has been called for Obama.
A lot of people thought that Mitt would take FL but Obama has it and the momentum is in direction.
Once FL is called it is over.
Posted by: RayJ at November 06, 2012 06:35 PM (pI/IV)
So if Mitt gets FL, CO, NC, VA, & OH, he wins it.
Seems like he's pretty much there with 80% of these states.
OH is the one we all knew it would come down to. So we wait. But Jeez, it stinks.

Hispanics are not a monolith. Culturally conservative?
You mean because some of them are Catholic?
They want the welfare state, and are not the descendants of John Locke or the Enlightenment.
And now, Peggy Noonan is on Fox. Eyeore of Eyeores. Yet, she dares to criticize the Democrats.
And Romney's lead in Virginia narrows.

It's UE rate is approx. 12%
It would seem as if the a majority American voters believe Obama inherited a bad situation from George Bush and nothing that has transpired in the last 4 years is his fault.
They have rejected Romney and Ryan's tough medicine.

Kaine wins the Senate seat in Virginia.
The problem with Romney was a couple of downticket races that pulled him down. Particularly Josh Mandel in Ohio. I think that despite how close George Allen was in Virginia, he had a lot of negatives with a lot of "moderates" from past election.

Willow, the urban poor are facing an unemployment rate in excess of 20% that will only get worse.
Mexicans are actually leaving because there are no jobs.
The Jews are are going to witness the Second Holocaust when Iran gets its nukes. Blue collar union workers will lose more jobs and watch all those fat pensions disappear as companies and cities go under.
But these are The One's biggest backers.
This election was about freedom vs. free stuff and they will get neither.

Especially considering that the previous generation was handed a country that was the world leader in every way. That was (is? can I even say that?) the beacon of individual liberty for the world over.
We're flushing it all for what? Food stamps. Section 8 housing. "Free" healthcare. "Free" contraception.
This is a crime against morality, against ethics. Put against any measure, the apparent will of the people is just wrong.

If he doesn't get FL as well, it won't matter. And, even then, there's a mighty thin path forward. WI could flip back -- they're only at 68% reporting, and TFG is only at 51%....but we're certainly not ahead outside the margin of fraud.
