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

[greenspandan]

As it goes for VA, if my memory is correct, we didn't know that Obama won VA till the next day........we knew Obama won prior to even winning VA.

incorrect. CNN called VA for Obama, and then immediately followed by calling the election for him as well.

[Forehead]

Romney doing better than I expected here and in NC, Florida is close too. Obama's got a pretty good lead (few precincts) in Ohio but this could be closer than I expected it to be, at least the way things look. Although NBC still sounds pretty confident that the election is trending Obama's way.

It was definitely later in the evening at least. The final numbers from Northern VA didn't come in until much later and swung the numbers quite a bit.

as a big obama supporter, i had it saved on my DVR for a year. CNN called VA for Obama, and then immediately went into their big "OBAMA WINS" celebration.

He won by like 6-8 points so I dont think that was the case.

Right, which means it was 11 pm or later before the final projection was made.

I do remember the numbers swinging heavily towards Obama as it got later in the evening.

It was right at 11 when CA polls closed. Remember it vividly.

Based on the "Too early to call" results which means they have a sense of who's going to win the state, doesn't this really come down to Ohio, Iowa and Nevada now? That's it. Wisconsin is leaning heavy Obama, New Mexico is Obama. The others are the fire wall.

I just found it Dan Rather is hosting election coverage on Axs TV (HDNET). The Ratherisms are coming from left and right!

fla is incredibly close and people are having to stand in line for hours in some places to get to vote

[dreamshatterer]

Crazy wathcing those numbers change live.

FOX calling PA for Obama

Romney in a bit of trouble now

[Forehead]

I can't believe the margin in Florida is less than 200 votes at 70%+ reporting.

[Kilmer17]

Too many votes outstanding in Miami Dade. Obama will win Florida again imo.

[Hersh]

Ohio, Iowa, Nevada.....That's all that matters now. If Romney loses Florida, NC or VA, it's over early.

[Duckus]

No matter what, ObamaCare is not going anywhere.

Hell yes.

[Metalhead]

Watching the ABC feed on google politics...pretty good so far and very mild mannered. No loud noises, yelling, or arguments. Mostly discussion though.

Ok, is it weird if I have a crush on Amy Walter? I'm not sure why...I just can't explain it lol.

[skinfan2k]

which station is everyone watching? NBC news is great to watch.

They said on CNN that some polls in VA could be open after midnight b/c so many people are waiting in line.

[spjunkies]

Phew the President GOT Pennsylvania!!!

I was lucky. It took longer to fill out the forms than it did to stand in line.

[Kilmer17]

CNN.com just crashed.
