Election Night in the U.S.: Which Races Are You Watching?

[Nyktipolos]

I'm waiting for the final count.  A couple of the 'battleground' states are still in flux.

 
Looks like Romney has the same idea. CBC just said they're still refusing to make a concession or talk.

I suspect this will take a while, though, as they were showed footage of the long line-ups still at voting polls in Florida about a half hour ago on CBC and the polls were to close awhile ago.

According to MSNBC, the Romney campaign isn't conceding Ohio as going to Obama, so we'll see how that goes.

 
Even without Ohio, Obama won.

In other good news: Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin and Richard "Rape is God's Will" Mourdock are both out.

*also waves a wee blue flag*

And hallelujah, I'm so glad those two rape-apologist jerks went down in flames, especially Akin--he was making me embarrassed to live in Missouri. :mad:

And it looks like Obama won.

 
YES!

Despite the crappy economy...despite despicable attempts at voter suppression...despite vast sums of SuperPAC money enabled by Citizens United...despite truly racist bullshit hurled his way...he pulled it off. This country will be a little saner for it.

This feminist is rejoicing and happy dancing all over the place! Here's hoping we all have more to celebrate once the ballot initiatives come in.

Watching Tammy Baldwin speak right now and I'm getting choked up.
I'll still be up late watching the ballot measure in MN, though. siiiigh.

[Melamphoros]

I really want to celebrate but I'm waiting until Romney's concession.

 
Which is happening as I'm typing this.

Yep.  It's all over folks.  Time to start pouring the scotch.

2016: Jeb Bush/Chris Christie vs Hilary Clinton and Godzilla.

Far more good-news results than I'd dared hope.  I'd happydance (especially about the defeats of the rape cheerleaders ['cause that ain't just apologism]), but alas, I used up all my resources grocery shopping.

2016: Jeb Bush

That's what everyone is saying for some reason.  We've already had two people from that family.  We don't need another.

Everyone's saying it because Jon Stewart cracked the joke awhile back and we're all horribly unoriginal.

AND Maine and Maryland both legalized same sex marriage, BY POPULAR VOTE. First time it's ever been legalized via referendum.

I liked the part where I got to keep my rights as a human being and earn a few more along the way. That's always fun. *munches on pastries*

And it looks like Obama won.

 
Glad to see Obama won. Way to go USA! :
