Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I got no less than ten Republican robocalls today. None for Obama. Even if I were leaning Republican, those might make me vote Democrat out of spite. Sheesh.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"@Bestof: Thanks for the info a few pages back. The most interesting thing for me this election is seeing how Nate's predictions work out. If he's as accurate as last time around I can finally cancel out that "lucky break" voice in my head.
What Triv said. I still think it's a non-issue even if it was Romney's face plastered all about but I can guarantee you this thread would be alive with indignation if it was Romney's mug on the side of a wall.
Also, who the fuck murals the president? Lamest mural ever.
Indiana used to be democrat? Huh.

We had a record number of people turning in mail-in ballots. Roughly one-third of the state, in fact(compared to 1/5th of the state 4 years ago)...

Note that Silver called Indiana for Romney, so if you're basing your optimism for Obama on Silver's prediction you haven't lost anything yet.
Exit polls and other indicators seem to show a 49-49 split between Romney and Obama in Virginia. Silver said it'd go to Obama. So here's a tough one.
