S&P down a half of %1 in after hours trading and hugging the lows. Doesn’t bode well for Romney, although the market is taking a much broader view than just the Presidential election. Quite a bit of focus on the Senate and House as well.
Huff Post shows Florida going to Obama, CB’s link and others show it going to Romney…

Providing a significant boost to an effort to end-around the Electoral College, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation on Monday that would award the Golden State?s 55 electoral votes to the presidential candidate garnering the most votes nationwide.
California, which has more electoral votes than any other state in the nation, is the eighth state to join the National Popular Vote compact, an effort to end the Electoral College’s role in picking presidents.
The bipartisan movement is trying to convince state legislatures to commit their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote, precluding elections like the one in 2000, when George W. Bush won the presidency despite losing the national popular vote to Democrat Al Gore.
I cannot even remotely imagine this holds up constitutionally.[/quote]
You are talking about Fuck-ifornia, we are professionals at shitting the bed.
I felt much better about this 12 hours ago.

lol, we need to start putting our sources next to our reports. I’m seeing contradictory reports from 4 different sources.
Note to internet watchers who can’t find a tv watch party (like me): Foxnews has a much better system for up-to-date numbers than CNN. fox updates every 60 seconds, some of the numbers in CNN’s states are old. I’ve got both open right now
ALSO: you can click on a state and it gives county-by-county information running with the updates.

I think this is just early voting results at this point. The glut of the election day vote should be R+3
Karl Rove is saying FL, VA & OH romney.
Silver’s got Fla. 50/50 right now, but Va. 80% for O.

It’s early but:
Virginia looks good for Romney, Florida not so much. It may not come down to Ohio after all, if Florida stays like this.

The Fluffington Post is useless, all credibility goes out the window with that.

Well, Romney certainly has the glut of counties in FL, but the big pop centers are Obama as of now (those reporting so far anyways). I think Romney still has a good chance
FUCK Allen West is losing. Shit.
Virginia has cut off REPORTING of votes because there are so many people still in line.
(By Virginia law, if you are IN LINE by 7pm, you will be allowed to vote).
They feel that early projections could affect those still in line.

That doesn’t make any sense seeing as Va is looking good for Romney right now with him up 55%

That’s what I was thinking, how can O be up by 80% ?

Interesting! Hopefully they don’t get swayed by CNN and Fox and others reporting everything while they’re in line :((
