The FL Election Day & Results Thread

[yourelection]

It looks like CNN has vote coming in

[Joe Biden 2020]

1% in - Romney 52-28

[Tender Branson]

The only question tonight will be if Romney breaks 50% and screw up my 2 points ...

[Oakvale]

Seriously people, why aren't you all in IRC?

[Joe Biden 2020]

5% in, Romney 52-24...

[Lief 🗽]

Looks like Romney won the early vote by as big a margin as everyone said.

[Joe Biden 2020]

This could be a fast counting night.  We're at 8% in and Romney is 52-25 ahead.

[yourelection]

I don't know if he will keep it but more than 50% for Romney will be hard for Gingrich to overcome.

(I'm stuck here... IRC not working for me.)

Romney has never given a great speech.

His last victory speech was great.

Oh politico, your hack glasses always make for a good laugh.

I'll eventually be laughing for eight years straight.

Were you laughing when Gore swept the field because he was the "only electable" candidate in 2008? Were you laughing when the eventually McCain/Romney nominee would trounce any Democrat in November? Were you laughing when Obama magically carries all of the Clinton states and 56%< of the vote?

Oh wait, none of that happened because you have no grasp on reality and see any candidate you support (or loathe) through hack and melodramatic glasses.  Please change your name, it's very misleading.

[Tender Branson]

The updated Drudge reported Exit Poll has now been altered to:

49% Romney
33% Gingrich
11% Santorum
  6% Paul

Should have sticked with my next-to-last prediction ...

[Politico]

I don't know if he will keep it but more than 50% for Romney will be hard for Gingrich to overcome.

(I'm stuck here... IRC not working for me.)

Yeah, kind of kills his argument that Santorum should drop out.

[Tender Branson]

Is the stuff that's coming in right now early votes only ?

I've overstated the magnitude of my predictions in the past, and I do have fun on here. I play it quite loose on here. I like to entertain and be entertained. With that said, I have never predicted the wrong victor in any race before on Election Day, or even days before Election Day. The only exception is John Kerry against George Bush, which was before I joined this forum. And I suppose Santorum over Romney, which is obviously undetermined as to who really won.

Obviously much can change between now and November, but my money is on Mitt.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

If Romney hits 49% or 50%, I doubt Gingrich can recover. As of now, he can keep beating the "the anti-Romneys beat Mitt's vote total," but if Mitt can get a majority, well, its great for Mitt.

[Lief 🗽]

These are just early votes, folks.

[Tender Branson]

If it's just early/absentee ballots at the moment, then ARG's 51-29 breakdown among early voters was pretty good ...

[Mehmentum]

Romeny now below 50%.

[Lief 🗽]

If it's just early/absentee ballots at the moment, then ARG's 51-29 breakdown among early voters was pretty good ...

If ARG has suddenly become the most accurate pollster, then maybe 2012 is the end of the world.

[yourelection]

How can NYtimes have Romney at 49% with 7% vote in and CNN have Romney at 52% with the same amount of votes in?

[Lief 🗽]

Bill McCollum, Newt's FL co-chair, says they'll probably challenge the delegate apportionment out of Florida.

[Lief 🗽]

Huh, Gingrich is actually leading in Nassau with 75% in, one of the counties Mitt won last time.

[yourelection]

I guess the question of the night is, will Romney get over 50%?

[Oakvale]

Get in the IRC, people. We need some conversation to liven up his boring night.
