Obama vs Romney

[Timkin]

The TU backed Romney stating two reasons.

1. That Obama has done a good job advancing the Economy out of crisis and does not  plan to change.
2. That Romney can reach across the isle better. I guess they are endorsing the Republicans plan to focus only on their top priority to deny Obama a second term at the expense of the country. I guess they don't feel like making that partisan stratagem a successful one will encourage further partisanship.

I am not kidding that is the rational they espoused.

It is , after all , the Times Union

late to the game by the TU.  Election has already been decided.

North Carolina and Indiana flip back to Republican red, and so do Florida and New Hampshire, just barely, in an upset.

Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado cling to Blue.

Obama's 299 to Romney's 239

That's around what I'm thinking.  I have Obama at 302 in my pool.

[JeffreyS]

I will take 303.

Ock... this is quite funny.. I remember when someone asked Romney if he had any advice for the President, and he said, "Start Packing" . 

This coming from a man who REPEATEDLY promised  12 million jobs to the American people ( how the hell he intends to do that, is a mystery) .   IF he is elected, I would hope that anyone who votes for him HOLDS HIM TO THAT PROMISE, since no one else in history ever accomplished that.

As many times as I've vote for Obama this week, Florida should be soundly in his column. I never knew a single person could vote so many times.

My wager is on Obama 309-229.  Winning all the battleground states except FL and NC.  In other words, he wins Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Nevada.   Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota are not true battleground states, and Obama wins those too.  Colorado and Florida are my least secure selections.   

Democrats pick up senate seats in Maine (via Independent Angus King), Massachusetts, Indiana and Nevada.  GOP picks up Nebraska and North Dakota, although upsets are possible in both of those.

Democrats win between 4-9 new seats inthe House of Representatives.

GOP picks up NC govership but all  other states stay with the same party as before.   Same sex marriage will be approved in Maine, Maryland and Washington.

If Obama wins Virginia, you can just go ahead and turn off the TV and go do something else as it will be over.

sorry Tim, but 12 million is nothing amazing so either candidate should be able to get there....the economy we've been living in the past 3.5 years has created 5+ million new private sector jobs...and if we weren't still shedding public sector jobs, the total # would be about 6 million....and for a note of history, over 23 million jobs were created during Clinton's tenure.

Ok, at the risk of putting my foot in my mouth later, I feel confident enough to report that it appears Obama is going to win tonight.

At this point, it doesn't look very promising for Romney.

This election is over.  Obama won it.

Florida is pretty close but a chunk of votes in Miami-Dade and Broward haven't been tallied.  If Florida tilts to Obama, this thing is over.

[tufsu1]

I am pleasantly surprised at how well Obama has done in FL....not many expected him to win the state

[thelakelander]

It's over. Obama just won Ohio.
