Four more years.

On CNN I already see him having over 270 electoral votes.

I suppose that number can still change because only part of the votes in each state are in? So those numbers I see now are just an estimate?...

I'm pretty sure the numbers are solid. It may change, but the odds at this point are pretty small. I can't see Romney finding the necessary votes to challenge it.

elmagicochrisg wrote:Also, does a presidential candidate get all votes of a state when he wins in that state, or only those that are in his favor?...

It depends on the state. Some of them divide the electoral votes by percentage of vote, but for the most part if they win the popular vote in the state, than they get all the electoral votes for that state. That's about it in a nutshell.

Obama won, good. Couldn't stand Romney. That just goes to show you money doesn't buy you happiness.

I voted for Gary.

Well, there's always next time...

Thought the Donald Trump twitter account I was reading was a parody account. It's not.

Looks like we need Luke here to spam Donald Trump about how the electoral college works.

Ugh. Fox News is holding up this concession speech. It really resonated with me when McCain had the stones to stand up there and give such an eloquent concession speech that was truly representative of the democratic process.

Romney won't win even if he gets Ohio. Don't be a bad sport.

Wouldn't it be kinda funny if Romney got 47% of the popular vote?

According to MSNBC as of right now he has the popular vote but I think only 6x% of the count is in for that.

He actually tweeted to report to someone if you're harassed by Obama supporters at the polls. Because it never ever happens the other way around.
