No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

While the total numbers in Congress won't be too different, the makeup will.  The Senate in particular replaced a few conservative Democrats with moderate Republicans, while replacing a few conservative Republicans with some of the first genuinely liberal Democrats elected since the 90s.  Meanwhile, even though I'm sure John Boehner and Mitch McConnell will wake up tomorrow as exactly the same people.  They'll have some crow to eat, since they're stuck the rock of the Tea Party blaming them for not being conservative enough to defeat Obama, and the hard place of their party establishment blaming the Tea Party for squandering a possible victory.

I'm going to start my predictions early and put forward Huntsman/Colbert as the winner in 2016 right now.

But for the grace of God.  C'mon guys, you know you can make it happen.  Then appoint Secretary of State Cain and make a presidency we'll remember for a thousand years.

Am I the only one that failed to have a solid election day drunk going?

Solid, maybe.  I am tipping back a cold one, for the Hell of it.

I shouldn't get too drunk because its really late in my part of the country plus I took the max dose of my antianxiety meds back when it wasn't certain that Obama was going to win and I'm not supposed to drink when I've taken them.

Also I'm out of champagne.

It's nearing 2AM. Wake me up if Romney wins, otherwise I've got to go pass out so I can sleep through the hangover.

I saw John Huntsman having a nice family lunch in Annapolis once. He seems like an extremely normal person. Would love for him to be our next president. Chris Christie as vice president, just to balance it out.

Welp, I think I'm done for the night. It's been... roughly six hundred-ish posts since about 24 hours ago. I wonder if that makes this the busiest day this thread's had? It'd be pretty fitting if it was, heh.

Suddenly I wish Mitteh Kitteh had won, just so that he stayed a significant figure and we could make more jokes about him.

Oh I'm sure he won't just vanish completely.  We'll always have the memories, and I'm sure this campaign isn't the last ill-advised thing he'll ever get a billion dollars spent on.

No, Colbert is perfect counter. Chris Christie however would be great in military.

So, should I start on my homework now? I should get on that. :P

Huh, so nationally this isn't going to be as much of a landslide as 2008 was, electorally or by popular vote.

Obama is probably going to get Florida and end up with a 332-206 victory, so he's crushed Romney in the electoral college.

As for the popular vote, to quote Nate Silver:
Quote from: Nate Silver
Some networks have called the Electoral College for Barack Obama, but it will take longer before the popular vote can officially be called.

That’s because the three Pacific Coast states — California, Oregon and Washington — conduct much of their voting by mail, yielding a lag of several days to a week before all ballots are counted.

As of 11:45 p.m., however, Mr. Obama trailed Mitt Romney by only about 150,000 votes nationally, a margin he should be able to make up on the West Coast.
