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?

Everyone is still gun-shy after 2000... Florida has since been viewed with severe skepticism as if the numbers they get from there are just completely made up until a few days later. I can understand, somewhat. 2000 WAS a huge embarrassment for everyone involved... media-wise. But calling Ohio while not calling Florida when Florida has a wider margin, well, that is somewhat silly.

Also the Florida absentee ballots should all be counted in already. They were supposed to have ARRIVED by today... not simply mailed. If they haven't arrived yet, then they're too late. They're also done on the same computer read ballots as the early voting was done on so it should simply be a matter of running stacks of them through the computer ballot counters. Those aren't the quickest things in the world, but noting that they've been trickling in over the past few weeks, it's not like they have to count them all tonight.

Oh, is weed in Colorado a 21 thing? That makes sense. For some reason nobody ever seems to mention the age restrictions in their legalization frenzy. I guess it'll be as hard to get as liquor now, i.e. not hard at all.

Colorado now treats Marijuana like alcohol. It is Illegal to be caught driving under the influence (though they haven't really set a standard for that yet) and plans are to tax it as much as possible.

BBC says Romney to speak shortly, I hope so, I wanna hear Obama already!

I'm thinking that a lot of old people will be home depressed instead of coming in to their appointments at my job tomorrow.

I wish I could see the faces of every drug dealer who gets their face smashed into the asphalt for selling weed illegally. Now that the state can make money on it, they are going to take such things mighty seriously.

I've heard it's a lot more difficult to test whether someone's high right that moment since blood tests vary due to THC staying in your system for so long, and everything else is way less reliable. It's going to be interesting to see how they solve that.

Personally, if a police officer thinks I'm high and asks me for a blood test I'm just going to concede on the spot even if I'm not high. I hope they find a way that doesn't provoke such a common phobia. It'd be like testing someone's intoxication with spiders.

Yes, and It will be gloriously earning money for education and other social projects.

You can see why it was controversial.
