Let me begin by saying, I did not vote for Romney or Obama.

That being said, as I am watching the counts come in I saw something interesting. All the "battleground" states are trending almost exactly the same with almost exactly the same margin. Obama is leading in OH, VA, FL, CO by just about 50k votes, give or take a few.

All of them use electronic voting.

So, all these states they have been talking about for weeks all have electronic voting all of which have had issues and all of them have a 50k-ish margin between the two candidates?

That's statistically odd.

Virginia called for Obama only Florida and Alaska remain.

I like badges.

Badges? Your not the same feller that wanted a free ATS tee shirt on another thread are you? I think Chiten or others could come up with a badge.

Hey I cannot wait for the 12-21-12 thread. Too early to start I know....but it is coming and will be a disaster... or a ATS online party like no other.

Peace to all tonight! We will all prevail through these arduous times. We have a long ways to go before we can really celebrate! Keeping our freedoms is most important! Keep them people and embrace them!

I Love you America!

Oh WOW!

For some reason I thought it had already been called for Romney.

Obama is really winning. Not just squeaking by.

I want shoes...these shoes....

Holy C*&% Des are you trying to kill this old lady? Well I am 41 but I cannot wear shoes like that any more. 1 1/2 inch heel at the most and then I am taller than my husband! ( already 5'10") so I feel like a scarecrow in heels. Tall and wabbly!

It would be fun to see Heff in a pair though! I like the path your heading down. To go where and if we want. Hmmmm

Out of over 102M votes cast, the difference, right now, is about 260k

51,291,440 Obama
51,033,136 Romney

I wouldn't actually call that "really winning". It is kind of squeaking by. It is about a .5% difference. Noooooot exactly a landslide.

I contest the reason for this is because they are essentially the same person. The choice is do I want the Obamney with the R next to his name or the Mitbama with the D next to his name. Either way, same ol song and dance.

So, it is going to be almost exactly 50/50 on popular vote. So again, squeaking by. 4 more years of shenanigans. Oh joy. The house and senate barely moved as well. So, not much changed anywhere meaning no one is particularly happy with either group.

Hopefully either party will put someone up who is worth a crap in 2016. But I doubt it.

Romney conceded?

I know I should be keeping track but the sad truth is I'm FB chatting with an old friend who popped up out of the blue after 25 years.

Romney did a damn good consession speech. Far more classy than McCain did actually (which is weird considering McCain actually ran a slightly classier campaign)

Welp...remember folks..gotta go to work tomrrow (today).
Ultimately, nothing changed..in Feburary, the players will be pretty much the same as they are today.

Will anything change?
Meh...the weather will.
