I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

I see projections that Obama will win the popular vote too once all the Californians and the like have rung in.

Oh thank God, I did not want to hear that shit all over again.  Mind, I'm still the country's biggest fan of a straight-popular vote, but damn was that I fight I was not looking forward to.

Did we really need to take a WHOLE MOTHERFUCKIGN YEAR AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF FUCKING DOLLARS TO PROVE THIS SHIT??? WAS IT EVER REALLY IN DOUBT??? FUCK YOU, AMERICAN ELECTION CYCLE.
Hahaha, hundreds of millions. Technically correct! But try over two billion USD. Iirc, that's the advertising price tag on this election cycle ♫

The news program I'm watching said SIX billion (IIRC)

If it does happen it would be very amusing because the same thing happened to Al Gore, the democrat in 2000.  (if he really did lose florida...)  That led Bush lead us into this state of perpetual war, and we complained, but respected the vote.  I really don't expect the republicans to respect the vote if the same happens to their candidate.
Butthurt and hypocrisy? It would be too wonderful to ever happen in real life... Isn't it?
Haha, okay I see what I did there.  Stupid stupid dumb XD

Redneck insurrection maybe? "The South will rise again", and all that.

This is what I meant, but I shouldn't have said anything here.  I'm being dumb and sick, sorry, I don't want a derail.

Yeah, initial search said about two billion from the actual parties and then whothefuckknows more from the PACs. Mind you, the states also apparently spent more on halloween than we did on the whole flipping election but whatev'.

It's not over yet. If Romney gets the popular vote, you can bet your ass the Republicans will go- if possible- even more insane.

Everything that they've been doing since '08, they'll be doing twice over.

Does anyone know how much Johnson got for the popular vote?

Most outlets aren't even reporting the independents separately yet. I'm guessing less than 1%.

We've seen nothing so far to indicate the polls were off and the polls showed Obama ahead.

So, I'm not going to have to use this?

I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or not. Happy about the election results thus far, though.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
