QuoteA Pennsylvania electronic voting machine has been taken out of service after being captured on video changing a vote for President Obama into one for Mitt Romney, NBC News has confirmed. Republicans have also said machines have turned Romney votes into Obama ones.

Maybe check the machines before voting starts...

If everything continues the same way it seems, O 319 R 219 is the number.  Florida could get ugly, but it doesn't look like it will make a difference.

NBC called Ohio for Obama, so it's over in their book.

Edited to add: And looking at where votes remain to be counted in Florida, it looks like Obama is going to win there by enough to avoid an automatic recount unless it's only the Republican precincts in Broward and Dade that remain to be counted.

Fox "News" and Karl Rove just blamed the media... after they themselves called it for Obama.  Oy.

I think that means I called it the closest...315 to 223...

Now all we have to worry about is the dissection of the Constitution, as in the Second Amendment....

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Romney 311-227.

I wonder what the over-under on when the Presidential race will be finalized.

You need to stop taking clairvoyancy classes from Gas.

I think Nate Silver (oh, sorry...Nate "Freeking" Silver) is telling his right wing critics to suck it right about now.

Besides Obama and the American people, Nate Silver is a big winner tonight. And you know what? He knew that all along, because he always understood that oddsmaking is not the same thing as prophecy, but if it is based on real numbers, is important. It is reality.

I am going out on a limb, and guessing that Obama takes Virginia.

Obama 303
Romney 235


If Florida falls to Romney, I believe dioscorides is the winner.
