Nothing tinfoil about what I posted. The proof is in the Congressional records. Feel free to prove otherwise.

And to answer Firstdown's question re: how I feel about what Reid said, I'm against it. But the key difference is that Reid is giving pre-election rhetoric, whereas the GOP followed through on their obstructionist agenda. If Romney wins, and the Dems followed suit and obtusely blocked meaningful, reasonable legislation... I'll be very disappointed.

Snap. Obama posting on Reddit this evening.

Reddit, this is important : politics

I want to thank you all again for the reception you gave me in August for my AMA. Good questions. Definitely not bad.

I'm checking in because polls will start closing in this election in just a few hours, and I need you to vote.

Millions of Americans have stepped up in support of this campaign over the last 19 months, and today we decide what the next four years look like -- but only if we show up.

I ask that you go out there and cast your vote, whatever your political persuasion.

You can confirm your polling location here:

If you’ve voted already, don't stop there -- spread the word to your friends, roommates, and neighbors. Think of it as upvoting.

Reddit is also responsible for getting that voting machine removed in PA. Had CNN reporters on that thread getting details, next thing you know it blows up in the news. Good work Redditors!

Took me 2 hours of standing in line, but I managed to get through. I'm surprised at how few voting machines they had at my local school, there was probably a good 300ish people in line the entire time I was there and they only had 6 machines.

Obama is taking a ass whuppin in VA right now. Destroying Romney in OH, and slightly leading in FL.

Looks like Obama is going to get steamrolled in Virginia.

Can't say I'm totally surprised though.

Oklahoma is red no shock there

NC is a complete tossup right now. Keeps going back and forth.

I don't expect him to win NC at all. He was the last Dem candidate that won NC since Jimmy Carter.

If Obama wins FL and OH, Romney might as well go ahead and call it a night and make the call.



Wonder if Saden/Sammy are somewhere drinking heavily...lol

How are they still voting in VA? Polls close at 7 do they not?
