Last time I looked they still hadn't made it official that we went Obama.

It's official. Or at least Romney conceded it.

I saw your post javachik and it made me feel immense gratitude that my Republican family members are NOT posting anything rude. Of course, none of the rest of us are openly gloating either. I guess we're all voting on a good holiday season instead. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of thing. It would make me angry too.

I am SOO not looking forward to this holiday season's visiting.

Thanks, Burrell. The thing is, they don't post on my FB or even on their own stream (for the most part). It was the ticker on the right side (where it says so and so posted on so and so's wall, etc) where I clicked a few times in the past couple of weeks. That's where I could see the crap. It was depressing. And it was just also a message, in general, to that segment of the population who sincerely doesn't get why anyone would ever want to have their taxes go to for the good of someone else.

I don't mind at all that Ohio took the prize of granting the president another term, but I so wanted it to be Florida.

Actually, according to Nate Silver it was Colorado that provided the tipping point this time.

I'm all out of internet, and still waiting for TCG to get home.

WOOT!!!!

Though, the election coverage I was watching called Obama once the Ohio results were in. Either way...don't care.

It has been interesting hearing people's conversations post-election. I spent a few hours in a coffee shop today and I didn't overhear any political grumbling, just people happy that Obama won and that there are more liberals in Colorado than most people think.

I was on MSNBC and they called it with Ohio. Considering the abuse the state suffered with voter suppression and nasty ads, they deserved the prize. Clearly I believe we all won, even those that don't get it. I just have to take a Facebook holiday until they stop being Wrong or until I regain my natural ability to ignore.

Ohio was the one that got called to put Obama over in terms of the coverage). When Nate looks at the tipping point state, he means when we rank them by winning margins. That is, Obama could've lost every state of his that was closer than CO (that's Virginia, Ohio and Florida), and he would still have won (with 272 votes); but if he lost CO too, then Romney would've won.

I kinda love the attention and adoration that has been bestowed upon Nate through this process. He certainly was my life raft in moments of doubt.
