I know who I'm voting for. (Victor Supreme).

It's Vermin, not Victor.

Xycolian is speaking apprehensively already renaming Vermin to Victor for his Victory in two days.

im suprised so many people are voting openly for obama. Mittens and obama are far to similar for me to care to vote for either. Nobody wants to fix america simply stay in office.

My bad. I guess that my subconsciousness has already taken it for granted that he'll win.

Bad news for President Obama - the Redskins lost to the Panthers yesterday. Only once, since 1940, has the Redskins matchup been wrong and that was in 2004 with Bush v. Kerry. Every other time, the current party holding the seat has won or lost as the Redskins have:

One has to wonder how great a precedent is when the only recent exception is the last time it could have occurred.

While we're on the subject though, XKCD had a nice recent comic on precedents.

Since you brought up XKCD. Today's panel is also worth a mention on this thread.

It's not the last time it could have occurred. It's by party - not by person. Of course the whole thing's coincidence (also, the Alabama vs. LSU superstition favors Obama, which turns the debate to college football vs. NFL) but it's a shit ton better than the 150 commercials I have to watch every night here in VA.

I swear to you, I sat through an entire hour television show last night and every single commercial was an election ad. Every. Single. One.

On this side of the pond our news actually found the US election insanity more newsworthy than the election itself. With the amount of cash USA spends on it every 4 years, dictatorship seems like a better deal, at least for the economy.

At this point they might as well just buy their own networks -- like the Democrat/Republican version of QVC or something.

I understand WHY the press isn't allowed to have any poll numbers until 5PM EST, but I'd really like to know where the east coast states are leaning right now. Like most people with a brain, I'm fairly positive Obama will win the election, but I want to know by how much.

Personally, I'd like to see a meta-survey of how many people think Romney is gonna win.

Wednesday's South Park episode is called "Obama wins"

^LOL!!! I wonder if they have prepared a plan B episode called "Romney frauded the elections" just in case the impossible happens and Obama isn't reelected.

Burk, I don't recognize you with that avatar. Change it back.

Hey I like my new ava! It's all cute and cuddly.

Beside I just changed a cat smile for another. It's the same theme.
