I thought Obama had more electoral votes from the stuff I read a week or 2 ago?

The regulars in this thread were pretty settled weeks ago on who would win. It's sort of funny watching all these people who don't follow politics get distraught or excited or confused by it.

Betting firming up on Obama winning Florida. He is at 1.25 now compared to Romney easing out to 3.5. So Obama now a very strong favourite to win Florida.

Doubt it. It looks like Obama is going to get Ohio, NH, Wisconsin, and Colorado, and that should lock up the election for him.

North Carolina was lost clearly by Obama. He lest Wake County and that cannot be made up!

Is there a website that is careful about waiting until results are nearly final before 'calling' a state for a candidate? From what I've looked at so far it seems like 5 votes have been cast, 3 went to a candidate, and they call it, with 0.00001% reporting.

Obama's now 27K ahead in FL. Broward county reporting in, still 50% of Miami-Dade to report. And Santa Rosa, which may temper it.

I find your proof lacking.

Why didn't these people vote in advance and use the drop boxes? Isn't that more a system problem? If they can't handle the number of people voting, seems to be the onous is on those administrating it. There's some serious problems if there are 8 hour waits and people still voting while they're counting
Florida state and local government administration is proof in the pudding that many states and their according regional identifications have repeatedly shown themselves unable to perform basic government functions competently. As I've said before, Florida is terribly corrupt as well. Look at the trend among southern states. It isn't an isolated occurrence.

I just lurked this thread for months now. Have a hard time trying to post, since I know jack squat when it comes to detailed economic policies, mostly.

Thats because those states arent competitive. If the state is actually competitive they will wait to call it.

Well, so far so good, Obama has a lead of 52-46 as of right now with about 30% of precincts reporting. Hopefully that's statistically significant enough to hope that Obama's going to win it over.
