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.

God this thread is moving fast.
I can't access Silver's site right now so I couldn't check who he had it called for.
You should also remember that while Silver has Obama's chance of winning stacked rather high, he is expecting a close election. High chance of winning does not mean landslide.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?This should help.
Silver's site
for those who don't have it bookmarked.
I edited my previous post: I forgot to say that the 49-49 split was in Virginia.

He is getting a the edge over Obama in the smaller polls. But it will be close.

Depends if they need to do a recount but normally by midnight EST it's pretty much finished.
Me and the rest of the developed world still don't get why healthcare is an issue in the states but w/e. Give it a decade or so of people having it and they'll change their minds.

Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?I'm looking at four trackers (CNN, MSNBC, Huff Post, and AP) and I see nothing on Virginia.
@Kostya: Mind, that simply states that people think it should be repealed. No data on if people think it should be repealed and replaced with a public option or simply repealed.

L Mage: So far it's 3:19 Romney's favor. Nothing too shocking though since none of these states are really up for grabs.
