Looks like its a flip of the coin in Virginia, NC and Florida. But he has the slight edge in Ohio, the 'fire wall', says CNN and CBS.

Lots of votes still to be counted in California, Oregon and Washington. I think Obama will still win the popular vote.

The fact that Romney looks like he will only take back 2 seats for the Republicans despite a big increase in popular vote speaks wonders of the Obama get out the vote campaign in key states.
Pundits (apart from Rove) heaping praise on David Plouffe, David Axelrod and the Obama camp for their electoral college behemoth.

Yes, thank you, America, for electing to keep moving forward at least, rather than reverting to that creepier version of yourself that we've just had a little too much of in the last decade.
Does this mean that Americans are now more progressive than Canadians? It sure seems that way.

Now we will find out if Obama will push to end the Bush tax cuts on the 1% or 2%, and for once push to reward the people who supported him.

Romney refusing to concede - bad, bad, loser, but not surprising coming from a guy who lies just about every time he opens his mouth.
Devestating loss for the Republicans and there will now be a huge fight in their party.

In spite of all the right-wing pundits attacking Nate Silver it looks like he probably underestimated Obama's electoral college count - we have to wait for Florida's results tomorrow though to be sure.

Montana? They legalized pot for medical purposes. Washington and Colorado just legalized it for recreational use. Also, same sex marriage proponents, after going something like 0 for 36 before 2012, went 5 for 5 tonight.

The anti-prohibition and marriage equality are great, but I was talking about Montana laying down the law that corporations cannot expect to legally get rights that are reserved for people.

I’m hoping for the avalanche effect: Now that two states legalized recreational use I can only hope that other states will soon start doing the same once they see how much revenue these two states are generating from this.

I think people in some of those other states worry too much about the negative impact on their white lightening operations.

I friend relayed a good point to me last night - that when he calls for people to march on Washington what he really means is that they should be chauffeured there by people who probably voted for Obama.

Donald Trump is calling for revolution. Revolution. Can someone remind him what happens to rich loudmouths in a revolution?
I'm thinking with a little brylcreem and extra hold hair spray up the middle, he might fit right in.
