Will Nobama be denied a second term? Will R-money go home in shame? Does anyone care about Gary Johnson?

Depends on what courts say; depends on what courts say; not really, ok maybe his mom does and his wife and kids.

When Romney loses, they're gonna set it to ludicrous derp.

BgJonson79: And, I don't click on people's profiles when I speak with them.

Well seems like Fark has always encouraged that here. I wish more people would put stuff in. The empty profiles are the ones to wonder about...

Did you make that? Are you going to make the quite obvious follow-up to this?

No way! Really?

STILL COMING

Not really

foxtail: Obama will take an early lead, until the republicans get off of work.

Two people I know are voting for Romney today. One is on food stamps and the other has a section 8 inspection that will delay her voting until later this afternoon.

/I really don't understand people.

if you go to cnn or msnbc they are talking about voting in general and doing some feel good stories and looks back. If you go to fox they are whining about some conspiracy involving an Obama mural, you can pretty much tell where this election is going by that alone.

Threw some pizza your way Weaver. Sorry again it's papa johns. Wish I could do more, but I'm pretty tapped out monetarily

While I was there putting in my response, three straight "because Obama is Socialist" buttons came down on the Romney side.

Voter supression.

Make it hard enough to vote in minority and inner-city neighborhoods and people won't bother to go to the pools.

Crazy Lee: "Electoral fix, here in MO, is in, So, Johnson on top of ticket, Dems on the bottom Fark current iteration of GOP, and `half-step' libs"

I cannot determine what you're saying here.

/WFTamireading.jpg

Missouri's 11 electors, though not required to do so, are going to Romney (a given - though citizens of this State aren't so brain dead that they would vote for Ashcroft rather than a dead man's proxy - wife of killed gov. - the function doesn't extend much above the cerebellum).

Will otherwise jack the lever for the Dems on down ticket (as most are devils I know and Akin can eat shiat).

Johnson vote is more to send a message to the Repubs that have the cotton shoved only halfway into their ears.

I hate to say it, but I get Hubert Humphrey vibes from the Prez. (know whereof I speak) lost all `hope' when Larry Summers arrived.

but, hey, it ain't like I haven't `thrown away' my vote before. First rodeo was as a member of the 18yo cohort that got to vote in `72 owing the the 26th amend. - Though she lost in the primaries, that year, she reminded me of the strictest English teacher I ever had and, considering the alternatives, my write-in vote for prez went to:

clambam: I voted for Romney five times this morning. I was going to write him in for County Treasurer, but then thought better of it. However, there were five people running unopposed for Regional Vocational High School Committee, so wrote ol' Willard in five times.

Hope he loses.

It's a much better fit for his abilities. I'm pulling for him!

JayCab: While I was there putting in my response, three straight "because Obama is Socialist" buttons came down on the Romney side.

my button was apparently too vibrant to live for very long.

Let's put this in the correct place this time...

So as an interested observer, I want to both get in my prediction (to create a sense of having a stake in the outcome, I will make a donation to the Sandy relief efforts in the amount of the cost of one (1) iPad mini*, payable in Canadian dollars if there is a split between the electoral college and the popular vote) else if I'll shoot a hundred anyway cause I care) and to offer some condolences either way (since politics in the US seems to inspire the same rabid outpourings as a cricket loss in India). *i.e. a gaget I want but don't need.

It won't really matter who wins. Yes, the winner gets to make some appointments to the Supreme Court, and a lot of people believe that if Romney wins, that means a return to the dark ages. The thing is, I believe a conservative judge is less danger than your House - and it's going to be Republican for the foreseeable future regardless. Call me naive, but your Supreme Court has pretty much done the right thing on the big issues, irrespective of who sits on the bench. So there's that.

I'm pretty sure I'll get called naive for the next one, but that's okay - the only slurs I object to are the pejorative uses of 'retard' and 'trans style slurs' (I can't object to any of the gay ones since they'd be true). It won't really matter about the tax differences either. Sure the math doesn't add up for Romney, but you can be sure that if it doesn't, that you will not see another Republican president until 2032 if they are lucky. If Obama is re-elected, you are going to see a Republican in the White House in 2016, book it, done. Either way, your amazing capacity for resilience will see you through - and quite likely stronger for it. Neither party will be able to survive the next four years without heavy compromise, and that will work in your favour if Romney should win.

For jobs - if Romney wins, you'll get to play a to scale game of battleship, and you'll get another war. Both will add to your debt, but will create jobs, so there's that. If Obama wins, you'll be manufacturing goods for export rather than goods for war. You'll also get a better educated populace, which is good, cause education directly impacts health, and since he's given you great health care, you'll have a larger population living to old age than you will under Romney's cull of the lower and middle classes. Really, sort of a wash (yes, I get that that view is a little callous, and more cynical than I typically am, but I truly believe that there is only one reason Presidents go to war willy-nilly and use other people's children as cannon fodder - and that reason is Malthusian in nature).

LGBTQ (did I forget a letter?) rights will stall in the legal sense under Romney, but there is no guarantee that the rights already enshrined in your Constitution will be explicitly upheld under Obama either, since the courts tend to try and view the intent of the framers through the lens of the late 1700s rather than realizing that they were framed in a way that would allow a country to grow in ways that hadn't yet been envisioned while still offering some of the greatest protections any nation has known from its inception. The repeal of don't ask, don't tell isn't going to be reversed, and the presence of Ellen on TV (as well as her ratings) pretty much ensures no one is headed back to the closet. LGBTQ rights have come farther, faster than any other civil right, and I am confident that in 50 more years our grandkids will be as puzzled over what the big deal was, as my kid is over the fact that interracial marriage was taboo 50 years ago.

I know there are more issues, but I've already droned on too long. With that in mind:
tl;dr: It'll be okay. History is a long game, the BCS doesn't pick the candidates and the US has a winning record.

Woke up an hour early this morning, worried I wouldn't be able to get my morning routine in, hit the polls, and get to work on time.

Voting took less than 30 minutes and I was at work a half hour early, despite bad traffic.

Unfortunately, my votes barely count - Texas is likely getting Cruz for Senate, my Republican representative ran unopposed, and Obama is down by 15 points... but I cast my ballot.

Lost Thought 00: clovercat: Aww jeez, not this crap again.

Just a calibration problem. That happens. Which is why there is a confirmation screen (a couple, actually), before anything in finalized

Was he using the double wide machine?

Marine1: No shiat. Maybe if guys like you stopped saying "HURR, YER THROWIN' AWAY YER VOTE THERE, CLEETUS" whenever we actually speak our minds on a ballot, we wouldn't have to choose between two mediocre candidates every four years.

Maybe if guys like you stopped trying to be trendy by voting for the "cool" 3rd party candidate who is just another failed Republican that switched to "Libertarian" and you fell for that shiat, we could get somewhere on REAL 3rd party reform.

Rocky Anderson. Jill Stein. None of you desperate to prove how cool you are "I'm third party!" farks ever mention anyone but Gary "I'll say whatever I need to now that the Libertarians will take me" Johnson.

You are WORSE than those voting for the two parties. You are willfully ignorant in the name of being "cool".

Ha! Ha! I voted a week ago! And there was no line!

Or they show up but can't afford or take the time off from work to wait for the hours and hours needed to stand in line at all.

Been as long as 9 hours for some "urban" parts of FL.

This country is a farking joke.

I always figured it was a population density issue. The town I used to live in had much more voting booths and a much smaller population than the ward in the city I live in now, just one town north. And in said town, voting was 7 minutes, max, and not 40 minutes.

I know. I keep a full profile, but I'm definitely in the minority.

It's a canvas. And easy to get to if anyone needs to be reminded that Obama's administration has in fact produced notable accomplishments.
