You were the one making accusations about buying an election with public money. Zealotdriver just shot you down. No need to be bitter about it.

It was obama who changed the campaign financing.
There used to be state funding for the campaigns, and both candidates got to spend the same relativly small amount.
Then obama thought (rightfully) that he could get more monney from donations and since then the monney spend on the campaign has gone up to 6b now according to cnn.

The chance of Romney winning PA is 0. It was always 0.

Is this gonna be the Republicans' new excuse if Obama wins? You didnt hear, Republicans where calling voter fraud cause dems where giving out chilly, or maybe it was drinks. IT was some food or beverage. Well, to be fair I did hear about some controversy with Republicans and coffee where I live. why the fuck didnt i get some bribes... thats whats pissing me off... some jamba juice would have been nice.
I would have voted for Romney in exchange for some good beer. Why not, I live in a Blue state anyway

I know. =) One more reason why I'm not voting for Obama.
Campaign finance reform is not a partisan issue. It's an American issue.

In the final pre-election forecast at FiveThirtyEight, the state of Florida was exceptionally close. Officially, Mr. Obama was projected to 49.797 percent of the vote there, and Mr. Romney 49.775 percent, a difference of two-hundredths of a percentage point.
The last time a FiveThirtyEight forecast had projected such a close race was in the 2008 senate race in Minnesota, when our final pre-election forecast had given the Democrat, Al Franken, a nominal 0.1-point lead over the Republican incumbent, Norm Coleman. That race ended in a recount, with Mr. Franken winning after several months of ballot counting.
Florida, of course, is known for its recounts as well. We’re tracking the individual counties as they come in from that state, particularly those where there is a decent amount of Election Day votes reported, rather than just absentee ballots. Throughout the state, the vote tallies are coming in about exactly as you would expect in a tied race.

The straw man king. Good thing for me we weren't talking about roads or bridges, we were talking about corporate bail outs.

You know it is more complicated than that. I am not going to debate here the virtue of using the taxpayer's credit card to bail out specific failing corporations (Read: corporate bailouts) here.

Just out of curiosity, if Romney were to get the upset in PA, but Obama took both OH and FL, would it even matter that Romney took PA at all? I think PA has 21 electoral votes, OH has 20, and FL has 27, so they're all relatively close to one another... but is that extra upset enough of a boost to make it a close race again? It would basically make Obama taking OH a wash, right? And Obama would still have FL.
