I see in Mass that Brown is down at the moment by about 30,000 votes, (he was down by 35K) but only 32% of the precincts are reporting...

I really hope he pulls it out....

If he doesn't, it will be yet another case of a reasonable pragmatist being replaced by a shrill ideologue....
Oh please, Brown is a lying idiot and we didn't fall for his nonsense again. CBS/NBC/CNN have all called it for Liz!

It looks like Romney's going to lose Florida...

Obama has opened a 35,000 vote lead, and with 86% of the vote counted, 44% still remains to be counted in Dade County, an Obama stronghold....

Well, let's see....

87% counted in Florida, Obama now up by 45K....his lead is widening, and most of the remaining votes are in Obama areas...

I guess the networks are a little gun shy about calling Florida....

that depends Ohio and Florida are close Romney could throw a tantrum. (As much as he feels he is owed the job it wouldn't surprise me.)

Yeah, it would be a lot more exciting if the winner had to spend weeks negociating with a bunch of piss-ant third parties and independents that got single digit vote percentages before he cobble together enough support to claim victory.... :nana

Well now this is interesting....

89% is now counted in Florida, and Obama's vote lead has dropped to 16,000....

I guess I'll have to wait a little longer before I switch over to Bobo and Nerd Girl chasing down Sasquatches....
