O's FL lead just dropped to 16k votes.

Its ok, thats just because santa rosa went from 0 to 60% in 4.2 seconds. Miami-Dade still has 30% to go and that will be about 100k for obama.

I misread CNNs website and thought Romney had 360k in Miami-Dade not 260k.  Looks like the tightening came from the rest of the rural areas coming in, not right districts in Miami-Dade.  So Obama doesn't have as much low hanging fruit in Miami left as I thought.  This could actually be closer then I predicted.  I'd still give the edge to Obama though, but should be interesting.

Todd Akin really shot himself in the foot, man... he's getting legitimately raped at the polls.

I was kind of hoping Lamar Smith would have too with SOPA, but alas he hasn't been censored out yet... in fact, hes' blacking out poor Candace Duval. Of course, this is Texas... they'd vote for the Republican candidate if he was literally brain-dead.

(Speaking of which, I heard this rap/R&B song at the store, and the scat singing in it sounded like "sopa". I said that it was "Sopa", by Lamar Smith feat. RIAA... then realized that both "Lamar Smith" and "RIAA" sound like artist names for those genres...)

Looks like Obama sprung back up to 40k lead in Florida.

Why the hell is Huffpost's map showing that Obama won Wisconsin when it says Romney is creaming him there? And why is MSNBC's map saying Obama's got the majority in that state?

Is WI always this fucked up?

And Florida's driving up the suspense here... if Romney wins there, the election will drag on... but if Obama is the final victor, he's already won.

The Democratic-heavy precincts of Wisconsin (Madison, Milwaukee) don't report until much later.

Apparently, the most conservative precincts reported first, and even there the vote margin wasn't enough that Romney could win.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Huffpost's map just added California to Obama, so now it looks like Obama has a massive lead over Romney.

Ooh, polls just closed in Hawaii, Washington, and California (!).
Presumably the Democrats will have a field day in the EC and popular vote now.

Of course Obama gets California!

Well of course, I was just saying that in case anyone wasn't sure how Obama had gained so many all of a sudden.
