Haha, good stuff. I wonder how soon its going to be before the Republicans drop their antiquated social views. It seems to have had a significant negative impact this election season What do you mean? They still are good on abortion, which is what Todd Akin was trying to talk about. I don't know what he meant by legitimate rape... someone could have ASKED HIM but I don't think they did. Republicans do not think rape is OK if that is what you are getting at. The reason social issues were big this time around is because Democrats were pushing it because their foreign policy and economy isn't exactly stellar. Obama had social issues to harp on and killing Bin Laden. Maybe some vague talks about how it could have been worse because he bailed out corporations. He specifically said that children born of rape means that the woman was no actually raped, because God wouldn't let that happen, so the woman wanted it. That's literally his argument. You gotta be shitting me if you don't get how looney Akin was. He said pregnancy from rape was rare because of biological processes (He is mostly wrong). Where did he say it was god and not biology stopping it? You seem to be quite a bit mixed up
He's 100% wrong, this is a regurgitated shitty talking point about how God loves babies and we shouldn't kill them and okay i'm done talking about rape in this thread

CNN is basically calling it for Obama right now lol. Well with Ohio going to Obama, not really a shocker.
They called it before Ohio was projected based on the projections of Cali and Wisconsin.

Can someone explain to a non-American why Electoral votes are more important than the total % of votes? Romney has fewer electoral votes right now even though he has 51% of total votes? Presidents are elected based on electoral votes, not popular vote, It's happened before that the loser of the popular vote has won the electoral vote and therefore the entire election. One thing to keep in mind is the huge number of uncounted votes in California, which will swing the popular vote significantly towards Obama.
Is NY counted yet? That's a big number too.

Electoral votes are all that count. Each state gets a certain number, and whoever reaches 270 wins. Romney will not reach 270, meaning that if he wins the popular vote it will be because he kicks ass in the states that he wins and barely loses the ones that he doesn't.

Romney better write that concession speech quick!
|
Did Nate Silver bat 100% here at this rate? Or not quite?
|
I don't get it.
On the CNN site it says "Est 7%" for California. Does that mean only 7% of the votes have been counted so far? If so, how can they call it?
Just curious as to how this works.

CNN just called Ohio to Obama, and Obama to win.
|
Tis the only good thing about living in Ohio, peeps actually care about us once every 4 years.
|
I want to see how close Ohio is. This was a really close election. Predictably Obama because of his long lead in state polls, but his margin looks small in FL, VA, OH. Just another 1-1.5% and Romney had it (based on RCP's current Ohio report).

Statistics, history, polls, etc.

This election felt good to me. Did it feel good to you guys?
Let's hope Obama gives a good speech.

He more or less still can, even though that's an odd way to characterize a statisticians work, though I can see why you would
