Really laughing my ass off, sitting here alone at 1am after reading that. LOL

Eh... I'll probably stay up later and watch Obama's acceptance speech. While I still care about politics until 2 years from now.

Some of their reasoning is bizarre too. "Tens of millions of people are going to be disappointed with these results." No duh. Even if a candidate won by 10% tens of millions would be disappointed.

There is some point to it though. Obama wins, but it wasn't the landslide that it appears in the electoral college.

Fox says Paul Ryan is a serious thinker? I want to throw my laptop across the room. I was praying his career would have been torpedo'd by this failure, guess not.

When they call FL for him tommorow it will mean he won every single state he won in 2008 except NC which he only won by 10,000 votes anyway back then.

Nebraska district and Indiana was lost too, but yes, it is close to the same as last time!

Made $217.75 on $1000. Got all bets correct except FL (bet on Romney).

Not too shabby.

I said 'much,' not 'none.'

and taxes on investments were nerfed a while back, no?

Oh, man, I sincerely hope that when my generation is 50+ years old we start demanding buffs and nerfs from congress.

Also youtube has streams I believe. Obama hasn't started speaking yet. Romney is over.
