Leferd Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 About two hours ago NYTimes was projecting more than an 80% chance of a Clinton win... This was ~5 minutes ago.... Leferd..... Whatever happens.

Valsuelm Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 The Guardian have a nicely made election update page. Is it my imagination or does that map lack the most critical information for the presidential race, ie how many electoral votes each state has? Otherwise it's very nice indeed. I'm no great fan of the NYTimes, however, after comparing it with the following sites: abcnews.com, nbcnews.com, foxnews.com, cnn.com, and huffingtonpost.com, I find that it's election coverage page is the best. That said, if you find vapid commies squirming amusing, the huffingtonpost.com is where it's at.
redneckdevil Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I don't think Johnson has to worry about being blamed this election like in Florida with Bush and Gore, I think Comey might be the whipping boy.

Whatever happens. We shall have some fun. I'm bedwetting but HRC got Virginia. Just an FYI. I'm extremely busy these days and have very little free time. I expect to start having more time come the end of the month, and when winter gets underway I'll likely be posting regularly again. Just saying this as I may not have much time for awhile to bask in the glory or pay homage. Eventually, I will have time for whichever though and look forward to it.
redneckdevil Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Holy ****...we may have a Rep senate AND house along with Trump.... That ain't good. Like seriously I know the democrates have ****ed up with the manipulation of media and etc, but we need SOME opposition in there for them. Edited November 9, 2016 by redneckdevil 1
Zoraptor Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Ah, yet another site that breaks if you don't allow Google Analytics. Works fine without GA, you just have to allow the grauniad scripts. On Firefox at least. Just kind of weird that they'd go to the trouble of making a nice interactive high info map and leave out something as critical as how much each state is worth. The BBC map is far simpler and more basic but includes the number of delegates so is actually more useful.

BruceVC Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Well, certainly a depressing night so far. Yes, it is Trump actually could win.....can you imagine having to deal with Trump for the next 4 years Our forum friends in the USA, Im sorry but Trump could be your next president.

I have to believe the republican party has been sufficiently cowed at this point, that they have to rethink their hard line stances. Trump will disagree with them as much as the dems. It's gotten them nowhere in the last 8 years. Edited November 9, 2016 by licketysplit

Most of the Republicans may as well be Democrats, and are bought and paid for by the same people who pull the strings of Clinton, Obama, and Bush.

My favorite part is how the MSM has called Virginia for Clinton, yet still hasn't called Florida for Trump. When if you look at the reported in numbers, Trump still has a way better chance of winning VA than Clinton does of winning FL.

Valsuelm Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Too early to tell for sure yet, but with more than one third of the precincts reporting in in both Wisconsin and Michigan, Trump is in the lead. Him winning those states would be huge. They've both been voting blue since '84.
Hurlshort Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Bit bummed by the low numbers for Johnson. My wife and I voted for him. Trump is such a crazy anomaly, keeps defying all expectations. Weird to think you can alienate large swaths of minorities and women and still be competitive. 1
