The FL Election Day & Results Thread

[Politico]

I guess Politico was right about there being relatively little difference between income levels.

(Although clearly the proverbial 1%ers love the Mittster extra-much).

Of course I was right. There is no class divide, or any such rubbish.

This proves to you that no matter what your income is, people want to get rid of the class divide that's happening currently in the US with the this administration.

If all that is true, than why is Romney doing 20 points better among people who make 200K+ than he is among people who make 30K or less?

One, you need to control for geographical location. Two, there is no way to verify the people who say they earn over 200K per year actually earn over 200K per year.

The point is this, though: Romney is winning all groups except evangelical Christians, which he lost by three points, and certain rural counties, specifically in the panhandle.

Then what's the point of exit polls?

Some characteristics you can easily verify: gender, race, etc.

Generally, people do not lie about their income, but it is the one characteristic people are most likely to lie about.

This is some type of Walter Mondale-esque fantasy. ROMNEY WON EVERY INCOME GROUP. What more do you need to see? 100% across the board support for Romney? You'll get that among Republicans in November.

Where in God's name do you get these absurd class notions from, anyway? Our European cousins? You would think John Edwards, not Barack Obama, became president.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Romney is even winning Duval County.

How's that surprising? He did in 2008.

[Politico]

I gotta go, folks. Enjoy the victory speech! GO, MITT, GO!

Fantasy?  What are you talking about?  The numbers are right in front of you.  Can you read?  The arithmetic is very simple.  41% for Romney means 59% for non-Romney.  What are you going on about "class notions" for anyway?  I am simply repeating the data

[Lincoln Republican]

Okay, Mitt won't even be close to 50%. Good to know.

Take what small comfort you can even though Romney has achieved an absolute blowout.

There's no stopping us now, Winnie!

You got that right!

Congratulations Politico!

I thought Gingrich was going to perform better there

[Eraserhead]

Newt hits 32%. Keep climbing, Newt!

[yourelection]

Does CNN really have to broadcast Mrs. Romney thanking all these people?

[seb_pard]

Newt hits 32%. Keep climbing, Newt!

[Keystone Phil]

Wow. Even Ann Romney has that Mitt-esque attitude.

[Eraserhead]

Here comes another exciting Mitt Romney speech. Oh joy.

[argentarius]

I hope angry Newt is making the speech tonight. Too bad that voice of his can't make him an organisation for the caucuses.

[NVGonzalez]

We all know Romney will lose an election this year. It looks like it will be the one on November.

[Lincoln Republican]

Everybody SHHHHHHHHHHH!

Mitt is speaking!

[NVGonzalez]

Everybody SHHHHHHHHHHH!

Mitt is speaking!

-puts on the loudest metal music possible-

[Yank2133]

We all know Romney will lose an election this year. It looks like it will be the one on November.

We all know that.....except Politico.

[memphis]

There are 46 states who haven't voted yet. Coronating one man the nominee at this point is rather unseemly. Especially when another candidate leads national polls.

[Averroës Nix]

This isn't saying much, but (though hackish), this is - by far - Romney's best speech yet.

[retromike22]

But Romney, I do want goodies from the government!

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

This isn't saying much, but (though hackish), this is - by far - Romney's best speech yet.

Yeah, he is really adding some flourish to the standard GOP talking points

Hey, I said it wasn't saying much. The highest praise that I'd have for this is "not robotic."

[Eraserhead]

This guy is incapable of giving a heartfelt, imaginative and/or interesting speech. Even Santorum managed to do that post-Iowa. He really is a robot.

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

There should be two separate electoral vote maps for guesstimates and predictions

Robotic Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama
Humanoid Mitt Romney vs. Barack Obama

[Dereich]

This isn't saying much, but (though hackish), this is - by far - Romney's best speech yet.

Definately his best. And he didn't even start quoting America the Beautiful!

[Joe Biden 2020]

We all know Romney will lose an election this year. It looks like it will be the one on November.

We all know that.....except Politico.

On the contrary, I have no idea why people are already giving Obama the election when it's not even February.  Things are still not very good in the economy and if they continue where they are, I have a good feeling Governor Romney will become President Romney.
