I want Obama to win with exactly 47% of the popular vote, for the sake of sweet, delicious irony.

Apparently, same sex marriage is looking likely to be legalized in Maryland. :D

Awesome news!

Not legalized, to stay legal.  In that it technically already is, the ballot measure confirms it.

I can't wait to hear about the Puerto Rico thing.

On the news program that I'm watching they just had a small report about Donald Trump calling the election a sham. But the great thing is the hilarious way the news anchor reported it; he introduced the topic with "Donald Trump, who is now well on the way on the road to irrelevancy, had this to say..." and ended with "..so yeah. that happened." :D

So there are 5 or 6 states where democrats are going to win the popular vote but have fewer house seats due to gerrymandering.  PA, WI, OH, FL, VA and likely MI.  There are 0 states where republicans will win the popular vote but have fewer house seats.  So in a close election the house isn't really competitive.  Like I said before, you don't vote for congressmen, you vote for a gerrymander.

Also

Colorado Amendment 64 (Marijuana Legalization for Recreational Use)

For - 52.7%
Against - 47.3%

I for one welcome our new drug-addled overlords.

I am one of the most partisan democrats you will ever meet, and yet I'm arguing on Facebook against blind partisanship.

I like to think that I critically examine my beliefs constantly, at least, instead of going "Oh yeah, if the democrats win in 2006, gas will hit $5." "Oh yeah, if the democrats win in 2008, gas will hit $5." "Oh yeah, if the democrats win in 2012, gas will hit $5." Eventually this will be true, but I think it's been false enough times to discredit it, not that anyone who argues that will care.

I've heard theories that Romney is stalling so he has time to write a concession speech from scratch.

How many states were voting for total legalization? I think it was just two or three, and then there were two or three more that were voting for medical legalization.

It can't take that long to scribble out vaguely congratulatory BS loaded with implications, can it?

Also, cheers for the step towards #51.
