    This argument has been beaten to death, don't even bother.

    The election is a referendum on the performance of our rulers. Romney and Obama represent "yes I approve". Everyone else represents "no I don't approve". So the real question is why did you bother driving to the polling place? 95%+ of their most obedient subjects will go out and vote yes. They didn't need your vote.

    To exercise his right to vote?

    Everyone at my work voted for Obama but I also work at an urban union shop. Safe to say I wasn't in my crowd to talk politics today
  • Pick6
    64-40. 'Bama

    I like how all these sites, Fox, CNN, etc. are calling states with 0% reporting.

    Ahh I've been avoiding political debates. I could care less who rydawg votes for, but voting for a 3rd party guy is a waste of time.

    Because those two guys are the only two people who can actually win the election?
  • tk421
    Most of them are either firmly R or D, but you never know. They should at least wait until some votes have been counted.

    Yeah in one case they projected Romney to win one even though he was down more than 10%

    But states like Illinois are obvious. No way Obama loses that one
  • tk421
    you never know. That would be funny, Obama losing his own state.
  • tk421
    so, which news site is the best for results?
  • Pick6
    well, FWIW, CNN has Romney as losing Massachusetts

    Fox is way right, MSNBC is way left

    I usually lean towards CNN? They have some semblance of balance
  • tk421
    with 0% reporting, they must have a good crystal ball.
  • tk421
    I think I'm liking the Washington Post site, they won't call a state until at least 10% is reporting.

    I think it takes more courage and patriotism to stand up what you believe in even when you see the outcome is gravely dim. It takes patriots to make change, even if the first ones are sure to fall. To make change is not easy. It's taking the brainwashing plug out of your brain, throwing it down and running toward the light of liberty and freedom to pave the way to the future generations to have a better shot at it.
