I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

if youre suggesting that there should be more stats dues in the media then yes, but as per the current situation where theres a million innumerate pundits and like five dudes running numbers id be happy if he was more visible

xxpost Yeah I'm thinking "Wait, how is that surprising, isn't that Florida anyway?"

plz no florida recount

come on itll be funny because it wont matter

Pretty sure Silver is off by a couple of percentage points. Let me check my math again.

Yeah, should be:

Obama 49.798
Romney 49.774

I would prefer Romney win Florida – just so we avoid a recount.

he won

Did you know that in IL you can apparently challenge any voter at the poll? It'd be fun to be King Asshole PIA Spoiler and just bounce voting station to voting station going "J'accuse!" all willy-nilly.

(but do vote, seriously)

What's scary to me is how many signs we saw that said 'Vote Pro Choice!' So who cares about policy or the economy??

UK bookmakers have Obama at 1/5 and Romney at 7/2 to win. They're pretty confident.

abortion rights are both a policy AND economic issue! xp

7 out of 2 ppl damn

Romney said he'd overturn Roe V. Wade enough times that i think it's fair game to use that against him

It might seem like a minor issue to those who don't have to worry about choice being taken away.

"policy"?

for most of us it will have no effect at all --matt taibbi

What's scary to me is how many signs we saw that said 'Vote Pro Choice!' So who cares about policy or the economy??

you can't be serious

undecided voters are supposedly 60% female in this election

i believe that interracial couples should be prohibited from marrying and that gravity is "just a theory"

which guy should i vote for?

I'm not saying abortion is not an issue of policy, but to blindly vote for who ever is pro choice regardless of how their other goals with affect you is crazy to me.

jill stein iirc xp

guys focus on the important thing...in just 7 or 8 hours we'll know whether voters have chosen "Taxi" or "Cheers," and what their favorite "Simpsons" Treehouse of Horror segment is

here in downstate IL the local polls have had a fair bit of citizen kops challenging would-be voters on their id creds; US attorney's office is apparently on it.

drove about an hour on I-74 this weekend in IL & every mile there was another NOBAMA sign with a pic of a crying eagle; woulda been sad if it, along with the landscape, weren't so corny

i just mean that like, silver is not better than, and maybe worse, than linzer and wang and a bunch of the other guys,

hes a better explainer of his process/results is basically what it comes down to imho

yeah he doesn't necessarily have 'better numbers' but he is good at getting people to understand what matters

to blindly vote for who ever is pro choice regardless of how their other goals with affect you is crazy to me.

I'd be really surprised if a pro choice pol did not line up with a huge number of my own political beliefs. Are there many pro-choice candidates who are anti-tax, pro-bombing Iran, pro-right wingers on the Supreme Court, etc?

Silver also lets his balls hang out

I plugged all these guys into my model and nate silver came up as best 58% of the time

romney xp

my parents! They justify their pro-choice stance as "conservative" – no one should tell her what to do with her body, Mom says.

so, don't vote for Alfred's parents

I wouldn't.

shit

But Repubs want to repeal Roe v. Wade? Have you told them about the Supreme Court?

fucked up that alfred never got to xxp

"cognitive dissonance" is a term they have trouble with

Are there many pro-choice candidates who are anti-tax, pro-bombing Iran, pro-right wingers on the Supreme Court, etc?

Dianne Feinstein

Geez, I just realized I got my words mixed up I meant the signs said Vote Pro Life, need more coffee.
