Wow, By far the least romney of us yet.

I have a little joke i heard - a conservative, a moderate and a liberal walk into a bar, the bartender says "Hi, what can i get you mitt?". Kinda lame but i think it sums up a shitload in one line haha.

He was actually a decent governor in Massachusetts. He was pro-choice, fairly liberal and even implemented a more reformed healthcare system which later served as the prototype for obamacare. All of these things which he's changed his mind on. My theory is that he needed to move waaay to the right to gain nomination to the republican party. To win the election though, he needs to move back to the center again so the average public will also vote for him. He's already given up some of his more extreme positions and ideas during the course of the campaign. His father was relatively liberal for a republican too, so, that gives you an idea of his pedigree.

Obama and I have something goin on, ladies form a line

Remember how rove used to do that who would you turn gay thing for? Obama has to be in lists out there

I also added some links that'll have live coverage into my first post.

Even though Romney is quite liberal and centre for a Republican candidate, I'm just thinking about his running mate Paul Ryan, who's probably one of the most right vice presidential candidates to have ever run, not that that's a bad thing - but I notice that ATARNotes members tend to be left-inclined.

Paul Ryan? You mean this dude?



Also, Romney isn't liberal or centre, even for a Republican candidate. Huntsman is far closer to being a centrist than he'd ever be

Al Jazeera does indeed have live coverage, it's what i'd recommend (http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/), ABC24 is also looking quite good right now.

This is the latest of what Al-Jazeera says:

Nothing unexpected so far:



And here's what happened in 2008



It's been a long campaign for everyone, they've been at it for months and months now. Traveling around the country, campaigning almost every day, everyone is absolutely exhausted.

Obama, not normally known for showing emotion even shed a tear last night during a campaign stop



Florida right now is only down to 2000 votes as well, very close as always.

You know what i find hilarious? Al-Jazeera reported earlier that Mitt Romney didn't write a concession speech, he only wrote a victory speech. Imagine how awkward that'll be now..

Obama won't deliver his victory speech till Romney concedes

It looked like Obama would win the electoral college but lose the popular vote (just like what happened to bush) and might not be considered legitimate.

Earlier there was a gap of 1 million votes between Obama and Romney, then 500 000 and finally, Obama is up by about 30 000 now.

USA! USA! USA!
