Someone had to do it.

Let's dump info from the polls here as it comes in and dedicate this to reporting the returns.

Godspeed guys.

fine idea.  I wanted to stay away from a "live election night" thread, because everything would get buried in it, but this is a good idea.

And it will continue to swing back and forth like this all night.

The good news for us right now...is that the Libtards are stressing over this worse than we are.

They were expecting to be gloating right now with a tremendous blowout.

I read an article 4 years ago that stated the white male vote was always the deciding factor. ....it looked good today.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

It is, yes - thats why in the exit poll thread I paid attention to it. White Male usually accounts for between 33 and 40% of the vote.

It will go up and down based upon which counties are dumping data - the narrative, IMHO, is its going to be closer than we would like, but the Obama blowout seems (at this very early point) more myth than reality.

Read a story that a Federal Judge ordered the state to hold the ballots.  He'll hear the case on the 10th.

They damn well better.  We don't need a repeat of 2000.

That idiot here in  Fairfax County that would rather register inmates than count military votes was TOLD by a judge to count our vote.

Unfortunately, urban precincts tend to be the last to be firmed up in the tallies, for legitimate reasons mostly (but all too often for the other kind as well), and are generally Dem turf.
