ES's Offical 11/6/2012 Election Results Thread (DISCUSS THE RESULTS HERE)

[Destino]

Drudge must be too depressed; he still hasn't said Obama won reelection.

Time for 2016:

Clinton, Cuomo, Warner, O'Malley, Biden, etc.. vs Bush, Christie, Rubio, Santorum, etc..

"Divided states of America"

That will be the theme for months.

Gay Marriage in Maryland and Maine (perhaps 2 other states).
Medical Marijuana in Mass and somehwere else.
Legalized Marijuana in CO and WA.

Wow. I never thought I would see the day when I was a kid.

dont forget an openly lesbian woman being elected to the US Senate.

Maybe the reason it took Romney so long was because he was writing (or paying someone to write for him) his concession speech, since he said earlier he only had a victory speech ready.

a competent leader plans for multiple eventualities. any plan that only accounts for everything going right is a BAD PLAN.

For a second I thought he said he had wanted to "leave" the country.

Some other races. It appears New Hampshire will be the first state to have all women in congress and as governor.

[SkinsFTW]

Romney really likes to hear himself speak. Jesus Christ Just go home bro!!!

[youngchew]

The fact that CO just legalized marijuana for recreational use proves my hypothesis that our state is chalk full of dumbasses. My exit from this state couldn't be coming at a better time.

Later bro

::toke toke toke::

I thought that was one of the most gracious and positive concession speeches I have heard. Classy.

[Rdskns2000]

Yeah- a quick short speech.

Romney looks like he hasn't slept in days. He can go back to being a fabulously wealthy man. He really got lucky in losing... Why he wanted the job in the first place I'll never know. I'd never leave luxury and peace for a gig that makes you age as if times moves faster in the White House.

So...going forward, the only political blog worth reading is Nate Silver's, correct?

pretty much. Math wins again.

[Jumbo]

I didn't know you lived in WA, that is a huge step forward for the state, and hopefully the rest of the country

Yeah. I am a wild hairy man. Raised in AK and lived most of my life (traveled a lot though) in the PacNW.

[Unforgiven]

Nice speech by Romney, simple and to the point. He didn't blame other people or take any shots, wished Obama well.
