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.

I think moving to a parliamentary system would be more likely.  If you are reforming the system you don't do a half assed job, it's easier to sell a fully proportionally representative system.

Oh, and by the way. I would like to be the first one here to welcome the 51st state to the Union. Hello Puerto Rico!

WHAT?!

This will be fun to watch.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[Scelly9]

Oh, cool.

"Um... er, I didn't think I would be having to do this... so um... yeah."

Awesome!  Senate needs to approve it though.  Need to look up the margin needed.

[Nadaka]

Now, granted... It still has to pass the senate and house. But Puerto Rico has begun the process.

[Shadowlord]

There are 113 House seats that still haven't been called, and 5 senate seats. The democrats have at least 52 seats in the Senate, so they've got the majority, but there's no way they could get a supermajority to defeat the Republican filibuster.

[FearfulJesuit]

Isn't the Republican party platform to allow Puerto Rico statehood if it wants it?

[Mr. Palau]

Guys, this is the first time we have had three consecutive two term presidents since 1801-1825

[GreatJustice]

Oh wow, this is almost perfect.

-Romney is apparently winning Ohio now, so it may lose its "national bellweather" status

-Romney has a decent chance of winning the PV while being creamed in the EV

-The house is pretty safely Republican, so Obama won't be able to ram through everything he wants

[mainiac]

Democrats will probably relish having republicans piss off hispanics by voting against Puerto Rican statehood.  Even if some republicans defect the optics will be horrible.

[misko27]

Happy 51! The Democrats will win 2016 at this rate. I'm always up for more states.

*cries* I'm just so happy. The people out my window are cheering. I wish I was at obama headquaters, I could use a hug.

Mitten hasn't left his suite since the vote. Fox news is now denouncing him as not conservative enough.

Map says Obama by 1,100 votes with 80% reporting.

Fox news is now denouncing him as not conservative enough.

Do they mean to imply that Obama won because it is more conservative?
