Whoah... the HuffPost map has gone all bizarre; a whole heap of states have lost huge chunks of of votes (Florida's back down to 40% reported, from 96% before, for example), but they're still calling it an Obama victory, so it's not a straight rollback. Anyone have any idea?

Anyone seen this? Pretty funny stuff.

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

God I hope it's filled with mistakes and errors.

Fox says Romney is trying to call on Obama to issue a concession speech. Appearantly Obama can't do his speech till Romney goes out with the concession.

Shine on, you crazy arrogant diamond...

So, just to be clear: At Romney headquarters in Boston, the campaign is refusing to acknowledge the validity of the Ohio call (so far), and there is no word on when (or if) Romney will give a speech.  Methinks the delay might just be to cover writing it.  Also, Karl Rove and a few other Fox News personalities are refusing to announce the result.

Meanwhile, the Ohio Secretary of State, a heavily invested Romney supporter, publicly declared that the vote could be confirmed for Obama and that he would not be returning to the podium.  So, there you go.

the huffpo map looks like it hit a temporary glitch, seems to be back now.

I think I like colorado

I'm sure it's great if you never plan on any form of protest or other resistance to state/corporate power ever.  If you do, be prepared to face police kitted out in full military war gear with AR-15s against your head.

So what do people think about 2016?  I think Biden and O'Malley are democrats to watch not to mention Clinton while Ryan will probably be the standard bearer on the right.

terrifying thoughts all of them

[Osmosis Jones]

Wait... and now Huff is back to where it was before, plus now the big O is only 0.1% of the PV behind Romney.

My local marijuana legalization interests (read: pothead friends on Facebook) are claiming the marijuana legalization vote succeeded in Colorado.

I was thinking that the last shred of respect I might have for Romney depends on how graciously he concedes.

I was also thinking, maybe Romney didn't so much care about winning, as for burning up all the Democrats campaign resources on the presidential election, so nothing was left for the congressional races.

I heard that too. Along with their subsequent plants to travel to that state...

did I make a typo?

I know people don't like looking like idiots, but given the current trends in florida why don't they go ahead and call it for obama?
