There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
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.

Florida is 96% reporting at this moment, and Obama is ahead by .6%. Looks like he seized this state too.
Also, Virginia is almost done tallying and Obama has a .5% lead.
Who said no one expected Virginia to go to Obama?
He just needs to wait until the electoral college puts in their votes and later the new Congress counts them under the Vice President's watch. But it's already decided; the vote of the people choose the votes of the state, and those votes give Obama the majority.

George W Bush won the electoral and not the popular.
Arguably, he lost both.
