    Romney is not conceding Ohio. They're hanging on as long as they can.

    When this is all set and done, I think Obama could have 330+ electoral votes. I expect him to win FL, NEV, COL and VA. A borderline landslide as far as electoral votes are concerned. As for popular vote, I think Obama will catch and surpass Romney there too, as more votes from California, New York, etc. are counted.

    Romney was just a terrible, fraudulent, empty-suit, snake-oil-salesman-type candidate to nominate. He was worse than 2008 McCain. The gaffes from nutjob religious and socially-conservative Republicans, along with Romney himself (binders full of women), didn't help. The Republicans will be in deep trouble for years, perhaps even decades, to come. Especially since young and middle-age voters are solidly Democrat and senior citizens are dying off - and the religious right is slowly being increasingly marginalized. If the GOP wants to become relevant any time soon again, they must modify many of their ideological beliefs, especially on the social side. I don't see that happening - I see them moving even further to the right.

    I've been disappointed with Obama's first four years - let's hope he improves in his next four.

    Lastly, it's looking like Gary Johnson will get about 1% of the vote.

    Fox hosts arguing with Rove.... basically telling him... dude. It's done. Getting a little snippy. Rove cares about the outcome, this will be better for their ratings. She's over it.

    I think the next Democratic presidential candidate will be Hillary Clinton. I don't think there's any doubt about that. 8 years of foreign policy experience as Secretary of State plus Obama and Bill's stardom in the Democratic scene and Rubio doesn't have a chance in hell. Also electing the first woman president will be just as ground breaking an event for women as electing the first black president was for the black community.

    Half of vote from Cleveland isn't in yet. 88% of vote from Toledo isn't in either. Whatever gains Romney can make up in more conservative areas isn't going to counter the the gains Obama will get in Northern Ohio.

    I love that really old guy with the jet black hair on Fox, he has to be the most delusional man on earth. I love watching him spout nonsense.

    Fox News may propagandize them and their preachers may tell them Jesus wants them to vote Repuplican, but when the Tea Party break down ala Ayn Rand and other of their heroes and actually go to the doctor and the dentist for the first time in years and to their surprise it isn't Soviet Russia, reality and alleviation of their suffering will bite them in the ass.
