So, to those guys that had bets with Kon and GreatJustice... mind giving us a peek at those lovely avatars you have ready to dish out?

That's kinda' disturbingly well done.
You're fucking welcome. I might not be obligated to use it here, but I'm damn well going to set a coworker's desktop to have that tiled across it, because that's just the sort of tame prank we play on each other.

And, yes, lest I forget, I have to thank Aqizzar for hosting this thread and keeping it civil during the brief windows of time I've actually checked up on it. Every time I have, I've been pleasantly surprised, having expected the entire thing to have transmogrified into pure, steaming excrement. So, you know, kudos on having a political thread more tolerable than 99.9% of the Internet.

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.

So my magical map says less then .1% difference in Ohio and .6% in Florida.
Funny if this turned around somehow...

excuse me.

OMG Obama Won, Fuck Yeah.

Also, Hot Damn, Thank the Lord, Look at those senaate races.

Thank the Lord indeed. In this great moment I am reminded of James 5:1, "Come now ye rich men. Weep and wail for the miseries that are to come upon you"

I'm not sure whether I'm relieved or not. Happy about the election results thus far, though.
Would you have any problem with me using it instead?
I am not really a Romney man, but damn is that a awesome picture.

Wouldn't matter.  Obama could lose both and Virginia and still win based on the other states he's won: http://www.270towin.com/2012_election_predictions.php?mapid=bzOG

So now we pray that the popular vote favors Romney and the world implodes with the rage of a million republicans?

I doubt it, Romney is only ahead a couple hundred thousand and Obama is gonna rack up at least a couple million more in California.

I don't hope for it.  That would be horrific.

Personally now I say that we pray people realize how screwy this system is and the folks in charge get rid of the electoral college and ditch pass the post for alternative vote.  But that's just me... and as likely as getting hit by a meteor at the same time I'm struck by lightning in a basement.

Watch republicans start talking about a recount anyway though.
