2012 US Presidential Election Superthread

[Irvine511]

it's over.

 

[namkcuR]

YES!

All the congressional obstructionism, voter suppression, and everything else has failed! President Obama will not be a one-term president!

 

[Pearl]

Is it too early to breathe a sigh of relief?

ETA: nope! It's safe!

 

[corianderstem]

Yes.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Wow.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool.

 

[indra]

Yay!!!1

See, this is what I don't get - NBC has had NM colored a pretty blue since I turned on the TV 90 minutes ago. Was it not "called" then?

I think NBC trusts exit polling more than CNN.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

so fucking happy. four more years.

 

[corianderstem]

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

My sentiments exactly, "Fresh Prince" gif. My sentiments exactly.

 

[Pearl]

OK everyone! Get ready to be forced to choose between joining Obama's army or being sent to gulags for re-education, and then prepare to worship Mother Earth. Also, white people: get ready to be slaves to black people.



I'm just poking fun at the sentiments many have of Obama's re-election. Don't take me seriously.

I just hope things work out better this term for Obama. Really!

 

[Danny Boy]

CNN just called it as well.

 

[LemonMelon]

This was an even bigger blowout than I expected.

I'm not thrilled with Obama, personally, but I voted for him. At least there is no longer the slimmest of possibilities that Paul Ryan's opinion could matter.

 

[corianderstem]

Sounds like CO just became the first state to legalize marijuana. Let's see if WA becomes the second.

 

[cobl04]

Congratulations to you all

He may not be perfect but he was sure as fuck better than Romney.

Four more years!!!

 

[LadySpinHead]

Happy. Now I can go to bed.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm going to have that drink now.

 

[maycocksean]

Let the thousand years of darkness begin. . .

buwhahhahahahahhahahhahahhahhahahah. . . . .

Seriously, though. Very pleased with the outcome.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I think my mom went to take a nap. I'm tempted to go wake her with the news.

 

[Irvine511]

the world only spins forward.

winners: Nate Silver, gays, Democratic Senators, Obama, vaginas.
losers: Citizens United, Sheldon Adelson, Donald Trump, rape, Dick Morris.

lol Denver is party central now.

Michele Bachmann only leading Jim Graves by 1900 votes apparently, with something like 35% of the vote in. She outspent him 12-1. She is falling fast, even if she wins, wont be long before she is kicked to the curb.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I am okay with that setup, Irvine.

(So, SO thrilled to see the results of the Minnesota marriage amendment right now. Good on you, my northern neighbors .)

 

[corianderstem]

Now to start holding my breath for SSM.

 

[Pearl]

Off to bed for me. 'Night everyone!

 

[LemonMelon]

Come on, Romney, hang in there. You can still win the popular vote and embarrass the EC

Spoiler

Nah, he can't. California will easily swing the popular vote back the other way.

We can hope.

 

[deep]

the remaining senate seats are very important, plus where ever the Congress ends up too, and the Governorships matter a lot too, just ask the people in Wisconsin.

 

[corianderstem]

Fireworks in my neighborhood.

If SSM passes, I'm going out on my balcony to bang on pots and pans like it's New Year's.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

so freaking happy. i might even be happier than i was in 2008, i don't know. it's been a long four years. if it weren't so cold and i didn't have schoolwork to do i'd probably go run up and down the street. i don't even know anyone's political leanings in my neighbourhood as you can't put any such signs up so i don't know if people would join me or shoot me anyway.

so yes, back to watching msnbc while trying to do my homework.

but as a woman and a college student (my problems only matter!) i'm so glad obamacare won't be repealed, pell grants won't be defunded, etc. so much more shit but that's just what i can think of right now when i'm trying to focus on early modern english grammar.
