2012 Presidential Election: Romney vs. Obama

Romney's lead slightly shrinking in Virginia, still up by 100K+

 

Michigan going to Obama is pretty big. It was expected by most, but I know that some folks like basso were expecting it to go to Romney.

 

Want to keep an eye on Michigan's emergency manager law which is up for a vote.

 

MSNBC is projecting the GOP retaining the house.

 

What's that?

 

I just heard that because of the long lines people were still going voting in VA. and that they were going to stop releasing results until they all closed.

 

People still in line to vote in Virginia.

 

Yah I think it is big. Michigan's result might give an indication as to how Wisconsin and Ohio will turn out.

 

A handful of counties have yet to report in northwest FL, near Tallahassee. Traditionally, a conservative area. It's going to get very interesting.

 

NJ goes to Obama, and Senator Bob Menendez wins there as well.

 

That's what I would expect, and Democrats keeps Senate.

 

Ohio is very early; Florida is the key. If Romney doesn't comeback in Florida, this race is shockingly over.

 

Florida is 50-50 76% in.

 

Michigan has a law in which the Governor can appoint an "Emergency Manager" to have total control over a city. Doesn't matter who the citizens elected to Mayor and City Council, the Emergency Manager has total control. This has been imposed on a handful of Michigan cities so far.

 

Florida 76% reporting tie at 50% (1k vote lead to Romney)

 

On MSNBC they were saying that sources in both campaigns believed it would be decided by less than 100,000 votes.

That's pretty crazy.

 

Oh geez, I hope this doesn't turn into a repeat of 2000.

 

What's the word on Amendment 64 in CO?

If passed, mar1juana will be legalized and regulated like alcohol.

 

Romney leads in very early Colorado voting 62% to 36%

 

Some other states like OH, WI, and PA could keep Florida from being the deciding factor. Of course those states can't be called yet either.
