[Joe Molotov]

Shit, I forgot to secure my stash of oxy before Election Day. I guess I'll just have to do some meth.

[james]

NYT forecast R have 97% chance of holding the house

Hillary is the worst fucking candidate

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah but 200-235?

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah but 200-235?

That would be a net gain for Democrats, if it held up.

[Nola]

God it's going to be such a shit show if the Dems can't get the senate

Prepare for shitshow

I honestly am struggling to find a good play for Republican leadership or the party that won't bite them in the ass long-term if they do win the Senate?

[TakingBackSunday]

[Nola]

gaf freaking out about florida lol

Shit, I am too lol. 



Though I'm more annoyed at myself right now, my entire immediate family down there didn't vote today I found out(my brother didn't even bother to register). All of which have been pretty easy to convince to get out and vote in the past, but I just didn't really try this go round.


I blame The Bore and Gaf for distracting me.... You all are responsible for Trump.

[james]

Remember how Trump had no campaign staff?
Remember how Trump had no ads?
Remember how Trump had no ground game?
Remember how Trump didnt understand polls?
Remember how Trump ALIENATED ALL THE HISPANICS?
Remember how Trump ALIENATED ALL THE WOMEN?
Remember how Trump insulted a fucking military family?
Remember how the Republicans closed the government?


And then remember how Hillary Fucking Clinton fucked all that up and made the election a fucker squeaker?

NYT has 80% chance of R keeping the Senate.

Shes the Martha fucking Choakley of national elections

[benjipwns]

i am fucking loving the prediction meters on the nyt, they're going insane, was swinging between a 20 point clinton lead and 2 point trump victory in michigan a minute ago

the national one is even saying Trump wins with 268 EV sometimes because it can't figure what the fuck is happening out: http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/president

[Stoney Mason]

I'm officially concerned now

[james]

My mom is on the phone and shes scared

[tiesto]

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Also agreed, this is MUCH closer than I thought it would be. Thought that by now at least one of the big swing states would have been called for Clinton 

[Syph]

HAHAHAHA
Repubs retain the House, have a decent chance for Senate
and Trump may even take Florida and Ohio

for the lols indeed

spoiler (click to show/hide)

[Syph]

Does anyone know when we get results for United States Representative, SC 4th District? I'm apparently blind

[ToxicAdam]

This is getting pretty crazy. Ohio is never wrong.

it was kind of funny to see Nate Silver on ABC saying it was 76 percent for Hillary right before close.
