I come from a family of gun owners and hunters and all of them are liberal. There hasn't been a single indication that the Dems will touch gun ownership in the future.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #21001 on:** November 06, 2012, 04:45:01 PM »

Dems have enough trouble getting stuff to pass that USED to be easy- there's no way gun ownership is at risk right now.

Voted straight Dem. One oddity was the county clerk being in the Dem line and the conservative line. First time putting a ballot in a computer. I wasn't too happy about that.

My son and daughter both voted for Romney in their class. No doubt they were indoctrinated by their grandparents. 1st grade was a landslide Romney victory 13-6 while Obama won 4th grade 14-11.

little updates:

Obama surprisingly up by 6% in NC, but don't expect that to hold.
Obama has a steady lead in FL, but as I've read some of the panhandle precincts haven't reported. Gonna be super close regardless.
Romney up in VA, but they're reporting super slowly and people are still voting in Fairfax, a strong dem firewall.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #21026 on:** November 06, 2012, 07:58:51 PM »

VA and FL are too close to call and Hispanic % of the vote is up from 9 to 10. Game, set, match - wake me when Romney concedes.

CNN is reporting on air that according to preliminary exit polls, the partisian makeup of the electorate in the swing state of Ohio is 39 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican and 31 percent unaffiliated voters.

Wait, I forgot that independents always break 80-20 for the challenger, so that's actually 55% Republican to 45% Democrat. Nobama.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #21033 on:** November 06, 2012, 08:11:48 PM »

Obama doesn't need FL (and I expect it to go to Romney, in the end). But if FL and VA are close, then the other swing states are mortal Obama locks.

"Mitt Romney has only been campaigning for 8 years. If he'd had 3 more days last week, he would have had it in the bag!"

It's not that Sandy broke Romney's momentum; it's just that it reminded people that Obama is a decent, hard-working President and not a psychopathic Muslchuriam Candidate.

So... huh? Even though it's historically likely that a republican will win there,it's still inaccurate graphically, isn't it?

It's who they predict will win, not who's ahead at this moment in the counting. That being the case, giving S.C. to the Dems even temporarily does no usefulness to no one.
