So if anything, the margin between the two candidates should ever-so-slightly increase or stay the same?

I was just hanging out with some conservative friends playing poker and talking about how we want Romney to win, and then they decided they had to go work out (they're real meat heads), and I gotta say I'm glad to be talking about the election on TL where the conversation is actually interesting!

Tee hee.
It feels satisfying to know his money was (hopefully) wasted.

florida might still go to romney, if not, then certainly likely to go into recount
I thought I saw a broadcast saying that there were more Obama supporters in miami-dade. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

if you get any major American news network it will be covering the election very closely.

And there won't be a recount if Obama wins OH anyway

Okay is there still a chance Romney could win Florida?

Romney ain't gaining anything in Miami Dade county...

The gap is being closed in Florida. It looks like there could be a recount

Less than 1% chance, I'd say.

I was watching CNN, but I switched to fox to see how they spin it to try to say that this is a mistake and Romney will win anyway, or how this is all actually good for republicans or whatever.

Probably. I suspect he'll definitely get that .5% margin, assuming Miami's estimated numbers aren't way off.

Chance, yes, but it's growing smaller.

To be honest, I hope Florida does go into recount. That Governor and their election system needs a hard smack upside the head.
|
FNC is calling 10k margin in florida in either favor, no real deciding factor yet.

yeah, Florida is extremely close.

Nuh uh, I heard they sent Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis into space to prevent that.
