election.princeton.edu … but don’t know how real-time they’ll be updating … and you can always check Nate’s 538 … I don’t visit any other sites so have no idea who might be reliable …
I think I’m going to go to bed and check in tomorrow when all the little pieces will have been cleared up. I’m going to do a Romney in England and give my take on the election process. After all this I confess I don’t really like the way the U.S. does campaigning/voting/declaring winner. They make the process seem far more complicated than it needs to be, and I’m disappointed at how disorganized they seem to be overall.
I wonder how Romney and his buddies feel now. Do not bet against America do not bet against the 47%. I am so happy right now I will not go to sleep tonight.
??? we already won. Even Rove conceded on Fox News no less. lololol It was funny as hell to see. msm busy stroking his fee fees but he accepts the loss.
Oh, I couldn’t speak of you without speaking of myself. After all, I was here clutching my bible for strength and support, never mind a dream I had a few months ago that should have taught me to hold still and trust goodness. Old habits are so hard to lose at times. You’ve been cool as a cucumber, IMO, and considering the circumstances. Bless you, and now for that pic 😀
Okay, I’m not getting emails about new posts so I can’t keep up! Thank God Nate says math favors the popular vote too. Now CBS saying it should have been a lay up for Romney. Romney was a problem-solver but didn’t understand problems. What?? This is just bizarre. Romney campaign unable to reach Latin@s, yeah because they couldn’t figure out that calling them illegals and trying to get rid of them was probably not so smart.
The GOP and media (and many voters) were delusional about who Mitt was, and his capabilities. He was a business man BEFORE he became governor, and he still ended up 47/50, only ahead of states who suffered under Hurricane Katrina. He is not a problem solver. He’s not a job creator. He’s a grifter, draft dodger, liar and charlatan. Period.
Now we have enterstainer Barbara Walters weighing in, grasping for the gutter with her bad wishes for President Obama’s second term…
She even goes as far as throwing out several scenarios for scandal in a second term and mentions Malia going to college…
These people are pure evil…
God forgive me but it’s fair to say that Barbara Walters if she’s not careful will be off the air permanently by the 2nd year of President Obama’s term…
Barbara Walters was talking about all second term presidents lose support and end up unpopular (my translation). She mentioned potential for scandals as the girls would be getting older and other possibilities. It was pretty biased and surprising to me. This was not the night to speak as she did with such negativity.
This man is different than most. I expect some disappointments since you never can please all the people all of the time. I also expect some great achievements based on his lifetime political history of tremendous achievements. Most of all I am thrilled he will be there to protect ACA and to have his wise decision making in world events. I feel I can sleep more easily knowing he is the one to make that 3am decision. Oh, ya I am glad to not have to worry about my Medicare or Social Security too.
Picture this: myth gets up on stage and thanks everyone, truly believing he has won the election and he is to be the next president. Then his little obsessive-compulsive wife comes out, hooks his lead to his collar and takes him home, to sit in his car in the elevator, fantasizing that he I president. Like in Star Trek when they captured people in the holodeck for eternity, and they never knew. Is that cruel? Or just?
I think his wife wants the presidency even more than he does. It’s not Ann who will be dragging anyone off the stage, because she thought it was “their turn”.
When the stories of the behind the scene happenings start spilling out, I suspect that it will be confirmed that Ann Romney was just as narcissistic and sociopathic as her husband…
Father, in the Name of Jesus, thank You, Sir, for the wonderful thing You did tonight. Thank You for letting good win over evil. Thank You for keeping the President and Vice-President and their families safe and sound over these next 4 and 1/2 years. I plead the Blood of Jesus over them. Thank You for all of the wonderful people on this blog that did soooo much to help get this wonderful man re-elected. Thank You for moving on enough hearts and minds of the good voters who put them back into office. Thank You for always keeping our Beloved leaders in the right places at the right times and keeping the welfare of the American people on their hearts. Let Love prevail. Amen!!!!
Florida is looking good
One of the closest battleground states yet to be decided is Florida, where President Obama leads Mitt Romney — with 96 percent of precincts reporting — by roughly half a percentage point.
Most of the counties have reported most of their results, but one fairly large chunk of ballots that has yet to be counted is in Miami-Dade County, where 83 percent of precincts have reported. Miami-Dade County is heavily Hispanic and favorable terrain for Mr. Obama. He currently leads Mr. Romney there, 62 percent to 37 percent.
Yes it’s weird, Nate Silver says Ohio to close to call, and calls Virginia for PBO and CBS says Virginia to close to call but calls Ohio for the president.
Vons (Burbank) was almost completely OUT of Champagne!!! It was full of people buying champange and CAKE!!! I LOVE MY HOOD!!
They were OUT of VEUVE!! 😥
I made them get me a bottle of Cordon Rouge from the back. Of course it’s not cold……. so in the meantime I’m drinking Cali’s finest, Domain Chandon Blanc de Noir.
And CHINESE TAKE AWAY!
HUGS to my TOD family – I’d be bald and crazy without you all!!!
I heard people whooping it up in the street outside my house in Marina Del Rey. I love living in a thinking community – what a night! Enjoy your Domain Chandon!
Tally, you are a classy lady. I love your style. Enjoy and keep the celebration. My hairstylist sent me a text to see how my heart was behaving. I had to take a couple of meds then I had more wine. I did not overdue it, but this night will only come once in a lifetime.
Love you my dear one.((((((((((((((((((( Enjoy it all)))))))))))))))))))))))))) HZ
There was an astrologer’s conference in the US a few weeks ago and the astrologers were asked who would win the election. They all said POTUS will win but one said that Romney will still be complaining by the middle of November. Maybe he was right.
I see their lips are still moving, and they seem very enamored of themselves, as if they know what they are talking about. No wonder I gave up on telly years ago.
3 Alaska, Florida and Virginia. Also whatever is left of Ohio. But they may also still be counting some west coast votes. As of 12:25am Romney is leading by 339 popular votes.
He is only leading by about 150,000 nationwide and the West coast states are not yet counted in the popular vote totals. Predictions are that should give another million or so votes to PBO and give him a definite win in popular vote.
Combine that with his cultish delusion and entitlement, and he’s one nasty piece of work. He’s lost before, but this humiliation just might be too much for him. Why Ohio, though, and not one of his 4 home states where PBO kicked his ass? He was NEVER gonna win Ohio!
I’m about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
I want you to know that this wasn’t fate, and it wasn’t an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn’t easy, you pressed forward.
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
Barack and Michelle Obama you continue to inspire us with your intelligence and charisma.
You are rays of light to black people worldwide.
The black vote and the female vote have spoken.
Congratulations Barack Obama on your victory !
Yes we can ! Yes we did !
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MAN HAS DONE IT! I THANK YOU AMERICA FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT MAN! Sorry for all caps, just so excited! BUT HELL YES!!! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! BOOYAH!!!
Romney didn’t write a concession speech. He only wrote an acceptance speech. Pres. Obama wrote both. He still hasn’t called Pres. Obama to offer congratulations. What a pathetic sore loser.
I am SO not surprised that Romney is behaving without class. If he finally comes to the mic and gives a concession speech, it won’t be gracious I’m afraid.
I’m mad he’s holding up the whole country with his foot stomping. Ridiculous. Spoiled brat. Thought it was “his turn”, thought he could buy the presidency.
So happy to have you with us …. two nights ago I suggested that as we all share this exceptionally important moment in the history of humanity we all just plan on getting some sleep Thursday 🙂
Schieffer just said this is not an election of big ideas. What???????? Romney was talking about the economy while PBO was talking about car elevators and taxes for Romney’s rich friends. No great rhetoric. I feel like I am living in a different universe from these guys. romney fought hard and it’s too difficult to concede!
This is his last grab at attention-getting, and it is very tiresome. Those of us, the middle class, upon whose backs this entire economy is loaded, must get our butts to work tomorrow, perform to a high standard, and then carry on with cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. Not that this asshole would have an idea what I am talking about. He will skulk off to his private island somewhere, sulk and pull his I’m so sad crap, then he will start planning his next assault on America. People like him do not lose easily. His fantasy owns him.
A lesson hopefully for Mitt’s sons – join the Army, Peace Corps, give blood – the highest office in the land is not for (any of) you. This should hopefully sting for generations of Romneys.
I know the man felt entitled, but to only have written an acceptance speech is just beyond belief. He literally thought that money would buy him this election.
Concession phone call has been made!!! Romney speaks in about 5 mins. Then we get to cheer our President’s VICTORY SPEECH!!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooot!! 😀
Everyone to hear their first and last Romney speech – I thank everyone who made this possible – your vote does count – very very much – in the US and in the world
Hope Romney is not like Nixon who got defeated by Kennedy and came back later to win the presidency. The GOP seems to recycle their defeated candidates whereas the Dems do not.
WHy is he talking about teachers and preachers? Honesty, charity, integrity – things he knows nothing about. Okay the beginning of the speech was okay, but this is time-filling drivel.
Willard talking about bipartisanship, religion, teachers, charity, society…blah, blah, blah. 🙄 Idiot. Repeating all of PBO’s lines. Still a rat fucker to the very end.
This wasn’t even close, was it? This fucking loser really believes he knows what he is talking about. Shut up and go home, to whichever one of your dozens of homes you wish. Just go.
This raving abourt Romney’s acceptance speech is what galls me about Dems….it’s as if allllll the things that his campaign did…was inconsequential….makes me just smh…..
Except for one remark …. when he said he was sorry he was not going to get a chance to lead this country in a DIFFERENT direction (paraphrasing but I think that is almost exactly what he said) he spoke truth: because he wanted to lead this country BACKWARDS not FORWARD! Back to when the rich get richer while the poor get poorer, back to when women in this country had little or no rights, etc.
Yeah, a bleak vision where he, Sheldon Adelson, Donald Trump, Steve Wynn etc. got to hold the country and everyone else hostage if they didn’t get what they wanted…
Obama White House.gov
The Obama Diary 
Hate lost tonight!
Finally.
Yes it did! Can you believe it?
hell yeah
Wooooooooooooo!
Amen
Whew!
LOL
LOL! Oh dear….
whoa. Seriously Mittens. Quit it.
Thank you America. The rest of the world thanks you.
I can’t believe Romney refuses to concede Ohio. He lost every state he lives in, why exactly would Ohio back him? Doofus.
Reportedly Horrible Willard is on his way to his convention center. Obama wins without Ohio, which he won.
The fact that he even considered it at all.
Ed Shultz is already telling PO what he should do and demand.
I will say it for POTUS. STFU!!!!
I just said that to my son about Schultz.
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
HE JUST CAN’T HELP HIMSELF!!!
The emoprogs will be insufferable in the second term.
They can kiss his ass. He never needed them and especially not now.
One for the history books.
They can kiss my ass, too, while they’re at it.
Turn it off.
THIS!!!!!
Yes!
Collect your bet Nate.
NYT put Ohio back in GOP lean
no thanks. that’s bullshit.
They’re the only ones.
I just don’t get it. Polls were wrong in Ohio ???? What the hell has happened ? Even Romney’s internals were Obama + 5 !!
aaahhh no. when FOX NEWS says to Karl Rove – you are nuts. Obama won and Rove concedes . . then it is time to move on.
rotflmao. You’re mean, Chips.
Me? 😆
yes you chips
😯
😆
Chips the ‘egg on face’ pick please – for these GOP brown-nosers.
PBO is going to win the popular vote – also too
Will he release his tax returns now?
Hell no, he knew he was going to lose.
There are fireworks going off here in Los Angeles!
POTUS is on his way to the Fairmont. F Romney, Obama is gonna speak!!!
OMG, I bet Ann is pissed… LOL
Shes probably the one telling Mitt not to concede LOL
Anybody have the time for the President’s victory speech. I need to get up in three and a half hour for work and the sleep is talking now.
You may have to go into work without sleep. We still have to get through McCain’s speech, then Romney’s concession speech.
LOL. Bestest tweet.
As Jodi Kantor would say, Hmmm…..
Ass.

Hmmmmuhuh..
Hey guys…can someone give me a good sight that is not NYT for numbers breakdown?

Thanks Bobfr!
Ah! Bobfr to the rescue. 😆 😆 You still dancing around with joy?
CJ, I don’t have a site but I’m answering so you’ll know someone saw your request. 😉
Thanks VC…I have checked a couple places…slightly different everywhere…CNN seems to be the most current and has it PBO.
I think I’m going to go to bed and check in tomorrow when all the little pieces will have been cleared up. I’m going to do a Romney in England and give my take on the election process. After all this I confess I don’t really like the way the U.S. does campaigning/voting/declaring winner. They make the process seem far more complicated than it needs to be, and I’m disappointed at how disorganized they seem to be overall.
I usually have nothing good to say about Huff Puff, but check out their election tracker. It’s pretty cool
http://origin-elections-mtc-a.evip.aol.com/2012/results/
Hate to say it, but I’ve been tracking on CNN and they appear to be making sense.
I don’t know what’s up with NYT, but the outstanding votes in OH are in strong dem areas. We won OH.
FL and VA are looking great, too.
I thought Nate worked for the NYT?
What can i say, other than to express my absolutely unmitigated joy… Gato
(And thanks again to you, Chips…)
Romney is withholding concession. What a puerile gimp.
WOW!! meta, after all these months and years, you were holding back on us, with this fantastic new description of robmey!! PUERILE GIMP!! love it!!
I wonder how Romney and his buddies feel now. Do not bet against America do not bet against the 47%. I am so happy right now I will not go to sleep tonight.
Obama 281; Romney 203. No way for Mitt to win; needs to finally be gracious and give the fuck up!
money can’t buy class as Queen Ann and Willard have shown us.
Mitt doesn’t do redeeming
Got that wrong – Mitt has NO redeeming features – he doesn’t do gracious EVER
Too right mate!
I’m seeing PBO 290
Politico has PBO with 290 EV and thats without Fla and Va. 300 EV+ and praying for the popular vote.
Hey chips, could you post that pic of PBO……”I got this” ? Primo time to remind us as we all kind of freaked out a bit, awaiting the outcome. Thanks !
??? we already won. Even Rove conceded on Fox News no less. lololol It was funny as hell to see. msm busy stroking his fee fees but he accepts the loss.
Ouch! You mean me, right? 😆 You’ve never forgiven me EDP4BHO!
Oh, I couldn’t speak of you without speaking of myself. After all, I was here clutching my bible for strength and support, never mind a dream I had a few months ago that should have taught me to hold still and trust goodness. Old habits are so hard to lose at times. You’ve been cool as a cucumber, IMO, and considering the circumstances. Bless you, and now for that pic 😀
colorado called for PBO!!!
Okay, I’m not getting emails about new posts so I can’t keep up! Thank God Nate says math favors the popular vote too. Now CBS saying it should have been a lay up for Romney. Romney was a problem-solver but didn’t understand problems. What?? This is just bizarre. Romney campaign unable to reach Latin@s, yeah because they couldn’t figure out that calling them illegals and trying to get rid of them was probably not so smart.
“Romney was a problem-solver but didn’t understand problems. ”
raotflmbo
I know, right? Yeah, it was Frank Luntz. I never see the news so I didn’t recognize him.
The GOP and media (and many voters) were delusional about who Mitt was, and his capabilities. He was a business man BEFORE he became governor, and he still ended up 47/50, only ahead of states who suffered under Hurricane Katrina. He is not a problem solver. He’s not a job creator. He’s a grifter, draft dodger, liar and charlatan. Period.
Agreed. That’s why the Obama campaigns ads resonated with people. He was telling the TRUTH.
The American media is a disgrace…
Now we have enterstainer Barbara Walters weighing in, grasping for the gutter with her bad wishes for President Obama’s second term…
She even goes as far as throwing out several scenarios for scandal in a second term and mentions Malia going to college…
These people are pure evil…

There was an astrologer’s conference in the US a few weeks ago and the astrologers were asked who would win the election. They all said POTUS will win but one said that Romney will still be complaining by the middle of November. Maybe he was right.
How amazingly true
You don’t need to be an astrologer to figure that Romney and the Republican will be complaining on into November 2016!
http://www.alanoken.com
ps: Alan is THE best!
well if you think about it John McCain is still complaining 4 years AFTER Pres Obama beat him. lololol
True. 😆 All of the current Republicans in high places are sore losers, AND they are very weak believers in democracy!
– they lose in 2008; they sabotage the government
-they lose re healthcare; they repeatedly try to bring the issue up again
Whenever things do not go the way they want, they try to mess things up.
Nate is linking to his book on statistics – I think he is getting 50 out of 50 states correct!!
Bob – how absolutely perfect – he won’t accept that he is NOT wanted.
On a side note – I have been watching this since 8am my time – it is now 3.30pm and I think I need to eat
Maryland for marriage equality!!!! colorado and washington are okay with small amounts of mary j!!!
Yup…I voted for question #6!
go hopefruit!!!!! 😆 🙂
HAHAHAHAHA! Romney only wrote a victory speech, so he just had to write a concession speech. Schieffer was chuckling. Also Mitt won’t give up on Ohio.
Cry baby! What a spoiled, entitled bully.
As I have posted in many places:
Organized people can beat organized money.
Do these people ever shut up?
I see their lips are still moving, and they seem very enamored of themselves, as if they know what they are talking about. No wonder I gave up on telly years ago.
ABC is saying that Mitt is currently leading in the popular vote. How many more states are we waiting for?
3 Alaska, Florida and Virginia. Also whatever is left of Ohio. But they may also still be counting some west coast votes. As of 12:25am Romney is leading by 339 popular votes.
he’s not leading. it’s 49/49. we are waiting for ca, fl, va, nevada and maybe something else.
He is only leading by about 150,000 nationwide and the West coast states are not yet counted in the popular vote totals. Predictions are that should give another million or so votes to PBO and give him a definite win in popular vote.
actually PO is now leading in the popular vote.
Wooohooo!
Yay!
Awww… Sucks to be them, eh?
Did Bachmann lose? Please God….
It’s VERY close. Bachman may very well lose.

Thank you so much for everything…
Fav Comment of the night from Al Giordano: That’s 272 Electoral Votes even without counting OH, VA or FL. Concede, pendejo.
😆 Glad to see Al’s still speaking truth.
Why isn’t Mitt conceding??????????? OMG I’m tired!!!!!!
He cannot accept defeat. He’s a narcississtic brat.
Combine that with his cultish delusion and entitlement, and he’s one nasty piece of work. He’s lost before, but this humiliation just might be too much for him. Why Ohio, though, and not one of his 4 home states where PBO kicked his ass? He was NEVER gonna win Ohio!

As Mitt Romney did not write a concession speech, I think that is why he is late!
LOL!
Romney didn’t write a concession speech. He only wrote an acceptance speech. Pres. Obama wrote both. He still hasn’t called Pres. Obama to offer congratulations. What a pathetic sore loser.
I am SO not surprised that Romney is behaving without class. If he finally comes to the mic and gives a concession speech, it won’t be gracious I’m afraid.
I’m mad he’s holding up the whole country with his foot stomping. Ridiculous. Spoiled brat. Thought it was “his turn”, thought he could buy the presidency.
Romney got caught up in the delusional power of money, cheating, lying, suppression, stealing…
Romney overlooked the most important thing of all: God and the irrepressible voice of the people…
when PBO is about to give his speech, can someone post the link??? The tv is taken in my house right now:)
Hey DF you can watch the Chicago HQ now here: http://www.c-span.org/Election/

Honestly, I wouldn’t doubt it.
THIS IS HARD! 😆
lol, thanks for the laugh pj 🙂
You know how she doesn’t like to mix with “us people”! Heehee.
PO is leading in both Florida and VA

Virginia has been called for the president.
Thanks to everyone for being chill about the videos! Made it so much easier to keep up. You all ROCK! Love you all.
How am I ever gonna make it to work tomorrow? Get your ass on the stage Willard! Folks gotta go to bed.
Come on Commonwealth of Va my home state..stay blue for PBO..so all the racist bastards I wrk with can stfu and go nite nite.lmao
teann just called VA for PBO. So you can tell your racist mofos to stfu.
Schieffer just said this is not an election of big ideas. What???????? Romney was talking about the economy while PBO was talking about car elevators and taxes for Romney’s rich friends. No great rhetoric. I feel like I am living in a different universe from these guys. romney fought hard and it’s too difficult to concede!
Alright prayer team, you still have some work — Michele Bachman is tied at 50% with Jim Graves with 58% precincts reporting

Best line of the night :
jeep jeep
very happy and congratulations Americans! That inconsiderate ass Romney – what about the Obama girls – they have school tomorrow!
OKay, people making under $50,000 = PBO 60 to 38, People over $50,000 = PBO 43% to 58%. Seems like a lot of the over $50,000 went for PBO too.
Yay! Joe Kennedy won 4th district of MA — there’ll be a Kennedy in Congress again!!
Thank you note: http://joekennedy2012.com/
Obama won Virgina, exactly my prediction!
Hey we worked hard for it.
Yes! We worked hard to keep Virginia blue.
teann calls VA fro PBO. Yesss. 303 EV.
The President just took a small lead in the popular vote.
I am sooooooooooooo happeeeeeeeee! We kept Virginia blue! PBO and Kaine — best and brightest!
Cnn is on it..whtz up msnbc..called Va..thts whtz up ! Yes we did again
Pres. Obama is now at 303 EVs.
Good night TOD family.
I’ll read about Mittens concession speech in the Funny Papers in the morning.
Love you all and ESPECIALLY dear Chipsticks.
Hi GGail – so happy to see ya!
Heh, what’s the hurry ?
Extra cool, but I hope they know he’s in Chicago…….
aww!!! this is so sweet!! 🙂
What happened to that enthusiasm from the young folks ? Oh, there it is. We were lied to y’all.
302 EVs for PBO; 203 for Mitt
Love it Ut 😉
PBS reporting that the concession call has been made.
Fucker!
lol PBO is winning the popular vote.
Woot!!
The Marriage Equality Ref. is up in WA…too soon to call, but this is very promising.
Mittens is finally ready to concede.
Time of speech – not sure about content according to msnbc – in 7 minutes
Romney to speak in 10 minutes!
Let’s get on with it! Determined to see this thru, but I am now holding my eyes open with my fingers. What is Willard doing—-spray tan? Let’s go!
jeez, what a baby. Thank god we won’t see cheap, unclassy punk anymore.
This is his last grab at attention-getting, and it is very tiresome. Those of us, the middle class, upon whose backs this entire economy is loaded, must get our butts to work tomorrow, perform to a high standard, and then carry on with cooking, cleaning and doing laundry. Not that this asshole would have an idea what I am talking about. He will skulk off to his private island somewhere, sulk and pull his I’m so sad crap, then he will start planning his next assault on America. People like him do not lose easily. His fantasy owns him.
Alan Grayson re-elected to the House in Fla.
Willard’s gonna do the robot across the stage.
(yes, I am officially delirious)
I gotta sleep but I want to hear PBO. It’s gonna be a loooonnnggg day tomorrow.
A lesson hopefully for Mitt’s sons – join the Army, Peace Corps, give blood – the highest office in the land is not for (any of) you. This should hopefully sting for generations of Romneys.
your finger tips to God’s ears, Titti! 100%. No Romneys in the WH…..EVAH!!!!!!!
Race conceded, call made.
I just heard on MSNBC that Romney will concede in a few minutes. Also that he leads in the popular vote right now.
I know the man felt entitled, but to only have written an acceptance speech is just beyond belief. He literally thought that money would buy him this election.
Concession phone call has been made!!! Romney speaks in about 5 mins. Then we get to cheer our President’s VICTORY SPEECH!!!!
Wooooooooooooooooooot!! 😀
Everyone to hear their first and last Romney speech – I thank everyone who made this possible – your vote does count – very very much – in the US and in the world
Hope Romney is not like Nixon who got defeated by Kennedy and came back later to win the presidency. The GOP seems to recycle their defeated candidates whereas the Dems do not.
no, that pleasure will likely go to Lyin’ Ryan. 🙄 ass. But that’s 4 years from now, and we still have a lot more to do.
Give me a heads up when Willard is done. Til then, I’m watching The Golden Girls.
The low class fucker has finally called the President to concede! Excuse the language…I’ve had a few…
do you think ann will appear – not to mention their awful brood?
Can’t imagine he will appear without Miss Ann
POTUS leads in popular vote now
Hey, guess what? WE GOT OUR COUNTRY BACK TONIGHT!! THANKS WINGNUTS!!
Question: Do I want to hear Romney give his concession speech? Still Undecided!
My husband is making me. I am hating every minute of it.
Smarmy to the end.
calif only 17% reporting with PBO leading 54 to 44. PBO ahead by 100 K in PV. We will win the PV too.
RE – ELECTED — WE — RE – ELECTED OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA!!!!
Tammy Baldwin wins in WI!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!!
Yay. Go Tammys’
Yay Tammy Baldwin!
The bot has been booted. literally
Tee-hee! Tweet that!
Silly question after a bottle of wine – but does President Obama still get called “president” or is he “president-elect”?
And he steals word’s from the President – urgggggggggggggggggggg
Sorry theo – that went in the wrong place – the President keeps that title – also too
Romney on now. Can I throw up
I know you should be gracious in victory but I can’t stand him!
Mitt is finally making his speech. Gracious so far.
Mitt is on TV! Poor guy he honestly thought he had a chance.
It looks like Willard is going for graciousness. hahahahhahahhahhahahahhahhahahhahahhahaha!!! Fucker. Dirty fuck.
Going for it, but missing by a mile. Schieffer sounds really sad.
Front Page…
Very nice. Very very very nice.
Love this. We are so blessed to have them with us for 4 more years.
Romney is conceding now
No Anne or the kids so far….
Wish we cold have won the House.
3 people clapped when Willard said he wished the president well, the first lady and their 2 daughters. Real nice crowd there.
Those effers are vilel!! Apparently they were booing Candy Crawford as she was giving a live report.
MUTE!!! Y’all can let me know what he says please.
Can’t believe those people couldn’t bring themselves to applaud President O’s win, low class repubs.
To tell you the truth, I would have had a hard time if the situation were reversed.
i can’t listen to Romney…..call me when it is over!
Why isn’t his tribe on stage? Hmmm
Muted the rest; cannot wait for our guys!!
UGH
WHy is he talking about teachers and preachers? Honesty, charity, integrity – things he knows nothing about. Okay the beginning of the speech was okay, but this is time-filling drivel.
Willard talking about bipartisanship, religion, teachers, charity, society…blah, blah, blah. 🙄 Idiot. Repeating all of PBO’s lines. Still a rat fucker to the very end.
This wasn’t even close, was it? This fucking loser really believes he knows what he is talking about. Shut up and go home, to whichever one of your dozens of homes you wish. Just go.
Apparently he believed all the lies his campaign was spinning.
The bot is calling for bipartisanship.
This anti-American crowd is delusional.
LOL. You’re mean, Chips.
LMAO
This MAN has taken the President’s words & tries to make them his own – what a monster he was and is – always
I cannot stomach his use of the word honesty in asking others to show this characteristic after all we have suffered by his lies.
“Thank you for being a friend, travel down road and back again, your heart is true, you’re a pal and confidant….”
Mitt urges supporters to pray for PBO and America. No thanks. We don’t need your prayers, fucker.
what a complete ratf*****g loser!!
+ 10 gazillion Sam!
Goodbye and good riddance, Willard!
why does effing robmey think he gets to talk and talk?? go away!!! you lost!!!!!!!!! shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but these people are creepy
I’m so so so happy I’m crying tears of joy!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE DID!!!!!
O M G herebthey all come….God so many Romneys
Good white GOP voters – there is hope for the children – they are growing up in an Obama America
ABSOLUTE DISASTER – hope he follows his money outside of the country
glad thats over. Onto Mr. President!
Which son will seek revenge in 2024? Daddy issues go deep doncha know.
Josh or Tagg. Probably Josh. 🙄 asses. They still won’t make it to the WH.
MSNBFOX panelist being way to kind to Willard, but whatevs! 🙄
fuck, the bot’s wifey looks pissed off. Guess all that money didn’t buy the class to become a queen.
Her loser husband is a consummate loser.
I am so happy that I do not have to see Ann Romneys face as First Lady!
The MSNBC crew are effusively praising his concession speech. Yuck! Anyone know how Ryan’s House run in WI is going? I hope he loses there too.
He’s quite a bit ahead of his Dem contender.
Shut up LOD——geez. Going way overboard in praising Willard for uttering 3 sentences. Idiocy.
He is talking crap – they all are – the speechwriters looked up the last 5 speeches of PBO and plagiarized them
Exactly…
Please tweet that…
This raving abourt Romney’s acceptance speech is what galls me about Dems….it’s as if allllll the things that his campaign did…was inconsequential….makes me just smh…..
yup! asses.
Now they love Romney because he conceded – should have done it 2 HOURS ago
I am sorry Steve, he did not do it was grace or class. He was a LIAR!
Except for one remark …. when he said he was sorry he was not going to get a chance to lead this country in a DIFFERENT direction (paraphrasing but I think that is almost exactly what he said) he spoke truth: because he wanted to lead this country BACKWARDS not FORWARD! Back to when the rich get richer while the poor get poorer, back to when women in this country had little or no rights, etc.
the fired up lady! our president is so generous, so gracious, so good. love him forever.
Keith Ellison wins re-election handily 65% to 35% — Way to go Keith!
New post:
http://theobamadiary.com/2012/11/07/what-a-night/
New thread for the President, Chips. NOW.
FiredUP and oh so ready to go……….> Forward!
PBO crowd politely cheering romney speech along with repubs. That’s good.
I would have had a hard time cheer when Mitt talked about ‘honesty, charity, integrity’. He probably had to look up the definitions in the dictionary.
Exit polls – 53% think Romney has vision for the future. What the heck???
Yeah, a bleak vision where he, Sheldon Adelson, Donald Trump, Steve Wynn etc. got to hold the country and everyone else hostage if they didn’t get what they wanted…
Exaclty.
Deadbeat Dad John Walsh lost!
Schiefffer – what is the President going to do to break gridlock? Really? What are the REPUBLICANS going to do???? We need to push filibuster reform.
Republican strategy obviously going to be – talk a lot about compromise, reject Obama initiatives, say he won’t compromise.
Drat! Just heard that Paul Ryan won his House seat in WI. I really wanted him gone.
…to the best campaign team in the history of politics. YES! I agree!
