2012 Presidential Election: Romney vs. Obama

I have a hard time believing Obama will carry NC. Were they talking about percentage of the black vote, or number of black votes?

 

I wouldn't call FL just yet as in previous elections the Miami Dade area was one the last areas to report. That area is also the most heavily Democratic.

 

I heard them say "number" but I was typing at the time so might not be sure.

I don't fully buy it either, just like I am surprised that the FL Sen. race is being called for Nelson so early, but am just passing on the news.

 

Florida 50-49 Obama on cnn 53% of the votes in.

 

Maybe, but Florida has certain polls closing at different times. But also I think Obama had to have a larger advantage from the early and absentee ballots which would have been the first ones and in and reported. So I could see the general trend going toward Romney perhaps with a smaller spike like Dade County coming in later. I guess it depends how big Romney is up right now.

 

It looks like Christie's endorsement of Obama paid off: NJ projected for Obama.

 

Obama back up by 1% in Florida with 53%. My bad on the earlier numbers.

 

yeah, that would be huge for Obama if he carried NC.

 

Yup - Florida numbers will be useless to the very end because they are distributed so unevenly and counties report at such different times. It happens every election.

 

I saw earlier numbers with Romney up too. So who knows?

 

Is Maryland mostly blue? It was declared so early.

 

Most interesting race of the night so far is Indiana Governor. This wasn't supposed to be competitive, but is tied, even though Romney is beat Obama by 12 right now.

 

Yeah I was about to ask you where you were getting those from

 

I'm just watching CNN, but I think they messed up.

 

Maryland is one of the most democratic states in the US

 

It went for Obama 62-37 in 2008.

 

guess they are not part of the south. :grin:

 

Very weird if Pence doesn't win going away.

 

56% of Florida reporting with Obama up by 3%
