My mom is under the impression if romney wins our food stamps are automatically cut.

Also, In the subway I over heard a few people, one of them said shes going to call up her republican friends and relatives and say "I heard your polling place is out of power, better npt vote. Too bad too". :P

On the whole "Voting machine changes votes to the person I did not want to vote for" thing, I have heard it both ways, so I suspect there are just a few bad voting machines.  Personally, I think that voting should be done on a ballot and a machine should be allowed to do the counting, nothing more.  But then you get a Florida in 2000.

This is from 2008, but the message works.

And I can't find the clip, but as for the Florida 2k thing there's a bit in Futurama where Bender causes Bush to win by shooting a box full of Gore ballots.

Just thought I'd bring it up.

As for Al-Jazeera, I find it hard to believe any news station can really be unbiased. Al Jazeera's okay, but I want to rip my brain out when someone refers to RT as unbiased. RT is about as blatantly anti-American as you can get without saying "invade the US".

And that NYT "Paths to the WH" was rather striking. I doubt Obama will get Florida... but if he does, he only needs one more state to win. I think it's kind of funny.

I hate republicans who try to keep people from voting, and I hate democrats who try to keep people from voting.

Perhaps you should tell your friends to grow up.

Russia Today. The English edition of the Russian state-run newspaper. As you can expect from a state-run paper from Russia, it's not so friendly to the Western world.

The most important state in this cycle might be Florida, not Ohio.
It's worth more votes than Ohio, but I think the idea is that if Romney managed to win Ohio he'd probably manage to win some of the other swing states too.

It is the beginning...of the end (of the campaign).

Results are starting to trickle in from Kentucky and Indiana.

BBC results for those who missed the link.

Trollheiming, let's make a bet. If Romney win, I'll sport a pro-romney avatar for the next year, if Obama win, I4ll choose a pro-Obama avatar for ya. How does it sound?

Kon, the offer is open to you too.

The early voting reports from Ohio were good. Obama has been berating his supporters to vote early and the percentages of early votes from Dem and Rep counties are tied, as of their release this morning. When Obama won in 2008, there was already an early voting lead that McCain steadily chipped away at on election day itself.

None of the assumptions based on 2008 are going to stand up in 2012. This is a tight race based on all those assumptions. In reality, I'm calling it a big surge to Romney, and avatars fall where they may. See, one offer and two takers.

Sure, let's throw this in the ring. Trollheiming, you and Sheb can do your bet... Where's our Kon? I'll make the same sort of bet with you, Kon.

If Romney wins, I'll wear a Romney avatar for a month, (no way I'm switching my face to ANYTHING for longer than that), and if Obama wins you'll do the same with an Obama avatar - where it one month, this board, as your only avatar.

Trollheiming, does that mean you accepted the bet, btw? This is going to be fun. ^_^

Obama might actually win Florida.

I live in the conservative panhandle, and locally Obama is ahead 49.5% to 49.1% so far.

$50 says this is a pretty solid Obama victory, but not as solid as 2008.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.
