I'm gonna go watch the world end on Fox news now.

My magical map says Barry is pulling ahead of Mittens in Florida by .2% with 85% reporting. Sucks to be Mittens?

SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN, THE PRESSURE IS TOO DAMN HIGH.

This. I'm trying to time my channel changing to minimize before it's obvious.

I knew that the US had a bit of a two party problem, heck people are saying the same thing about Aus, but at least here the Greens party is big enough to get the balance of power, I didn't realize just how small the other parties must be over there.

They don't even get get arrested if attempting to debate with the big 2.

FTFY

Catching up a bit.  It took me around 45 minutes to vote.

This is significant, because of the 6 am to 6 pm polling times in Indiana.  This leaves most people working your standard 9-5 job very little space in their schedule to vote.  They have to get out early (when the crowd are worst, I've noticed) or rush out to the polls just before they're closing.  Anybody who has to work overtime or multiple jobs is just fucked.  Coincidentally a right-to-work state, so you can't piss off your employer for the sake of voting because you have no employment rights.  No class warfare here.  My state is more like an all-you-can-vampire buffet.

Like others, I'm also coming down with some kind of cold-like thing today.  Sitting here at work trying weakly to keep up with the thread while feeling myself getting worse.  I gave up a couple hours of sleep to the election today, and I'm thinking at this point that it was completely not worth it.

It's incredibly close, all I can say... Florida is, as I said, approaching 2k-level closeness.

And there's about a million or so people waiting to vote in Florida, still. Mostly in Democratic-voting counties. ;]

Okay, I am very sad that I never heard of new Senator-Elect Angus King, because he is suddenly the most important guy in the Senate.  The principle leg of his campaign was filibuster reform.

I'm going to say that again, to make sure it sinks in.  A guy just won an election to the US Senate, an Independent unseating a relatively popular moderate Republican, by first and foremost promising parliamentary reform of the government process.

My fellow Americanos, we live in a fucked up age.  I can't wait to see where this guy goes in office.

If I live where I could vote for him, he would have my vote.

Damnit, you beat me to it. I said Florida cause I saw Florida in the comment above

He's in Maine, I think.

He's more likely to caucus with the Dems though.

Results from Iowa are beginning to come in.

He didn't unseat a moderate Republican, Snowe retired and she was the only R with a reasonable chance of holding the seat.

EDIT: Oh, and my state was called for Obama awhile ago, continuing our streak of voting Democratic since 1976.

My gf just sent me an awesome electoral collage: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md3f26PE611qbgmyg.jpg
