2012 Presidential Election: Romney vs. Obama

Yes, but it is the way this one is developing blow by blow. Seems different in some way. I can't recall all the details.

 

Romney stills has a shot of winning but jopat's already wrong about his landslide

 

Ok that's pretty sure. :grin:

 

Florida is another clusterf***. Nobody will know for weeks.

 

Here is tracker from Florida:

Obama is up 20k.

 

Good signs for Obama in Florida.

[rquoter]In every presidential election since 1960, the candidate who prevailed in Florida’s Hillsborough County, home to Tampa, has also prevailed in Florida. There is no guarantee that the pattern will hold in 2012, but the Tampa region is critical in carrying the Sunshine State (which is why the Republican Party held their national convention there this year).

More than 80 percent of the vote has been reported in Hillsborough, and President Obama leads Mitt Romney by five percentage points. Mr. Obama, as we have written, is likely getting a push from Florida’s fast-growing Hispanic community. In Hillsborough, Hispanic residents have grown by 71 percent since 2000, now accounting for a quarter of the county’s population.

Mr. Obama is also leading in another Florida bellwether, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County’s eastern neighbor. In Pinellas, 99 percent of the vote has been reported, and Mr. Obama is edging out Mr. Romney 52 percent to 47 percent.[/rquoter]

 

If Al Gore had won his home state in 2000, the Florida debacle would have been a moot point.

 

Romney VP should have been Marco Rubio, up-and-coming Latino Senator from FL.

 

Loses Michigan, his other home state. Will lose California where he also has a home. Should win Utah though so he's got that going for him.

 

Anyone heard from Jopatmc? Might be a little worried for him...

 

Wow, Obama really just needs Ohio now and he's leading... Florida is a tie without Miami/ Dade... looking good.

 

Might have gave him FL if doesn't get it, it is that close.

 

Jopatmc, Commodore, and basso are all out on a ledge right now.

 

CBS showing that Obama won independents in Wisconsin. That's not a good sign for Mitt if independents are swinging Obama's way

 

Isn't Romney from MI?

 

They certainly aren't around here.

 

Mitts screwed up. If Rubio bumped the lead by 1%, Florida would be in the bag by now.

 

Obama is in great position to be re-elected. I can't wait to see how Gary Johnson did.

 

I was looking forward to reading basso spam this thread with election night tweets. Oh well...

 

Romney would have carried PA but a black panther member was opening doors for women in Philly so that intimidated all the Romney voters and cost him the election.
