I feel like this election has become far bigger than any other.

Also CNN keeps calling states battlegrounds and it makes me feel like the whole country is in civil war

That's today's news networks, gotta drum up drama or people will watch something else.

So these two referenda for improving schools and the community college system in our city are projected to pass. Hopefully that will help the chilluns lern gooder.

Oh my goodness the Auditor election is so close right now, 51.47% to 48.53% (One I want in the lead)
How come everything in this election seems to close.

Yeah, that is me every election year. Sometimes it feels like I'm a second class citizen for believing in something.

Alright, basically the only part of Florida that hasn't been counted yet is half of Miami-Dade County, which is generally pro-Obama. If things keep going as they are, I feel reasonably certain that Florida will go to Obama.

My best friend's mom sent him this message.

Quote:

I just got out of the shower, crying and praying in there. My father was such a patriotic American and fought hard for this country. It is killing me to see what is happening here. There are far more people wanting to live on handouts than there are hard-working Americans footing the bill. I can't even imagine what 4 more years of this will bring. His 2nd term is where we'll see his true evil come out. It's so awful that it all comes down to a handful of states. I hate the electoral college and I hate that the media has so much power over the idiots who can't think for themselves. So incredibly discouraging.

He just responded with "That's pretty extreme"

And then pointed out that Bush lost the popular vote in 2004, so Gore would have won. She responded with "Gore is an idiot."

If Obama wins all the states in which he currently leads plus California, he wins.

They've pretty much always called swing states "battlegrounds." But I do see your point. This is ridiculous.

Swing states however, sound fun.

Shit

Obama has 173 electoral votes, Romney has 174

I know it's constantly changing but daisies seeing Romney pull ahead even for a moment makes me feel super nervous.
