Want To See Something Beautiful?

I know that things can change but this is certainly the most beautiful thing I've seen today.

(and I remind myself that polling is usually kept to "likely voters" which means all those (minority) voters that flocked to the polls for Obama before are not being counted this time around either. I wonder if some red states that flipped blue in 08 are going to do the same thing again).

1. The Huffington Post Scoreboard also shows him winning. (link)

4. damn, how did az get so red. and tennese to be so pink, is cool. think we got colo.

and i am hoping for iowa. would love iowa.

[DonRedwood]

5. Didn't Obama win Iowa in 2008?

I've been watching the red states. I love it that a few have gone from red to pink. I'd like to see a few more! (C'mon Texas!!)

I can't imagine there are many states that Obama won in 08 who will think Romney is a better choice than McCain.

McCain probably got a lot of Veteran votes automatically...will they give Romney their vote?

6. (C'mon Texas!!) texas was blue in all the major cities. but areas like mine are so damn red.

yes. iowa went obama in 2008

[DonRedwood]

7. When is the last time Texas voted for a Democratic President?

Since you have the inside information. :0)

9. i am a calif living in texas. lol. hubby says lbj did something to piss off the farmers

in this area, he cant remember what. they voted against and in retaliation the army airbase was taken away.

the 80's is when the whole of texas turned red. dems like grahm and perrry switched to repug.

12. It's Tarrant county, for some reason the are in a large metro but still vote GOP...

...I think that will be changing soon though

[DonRedwood]

16. how so?

latino votes?

11. Because all of the major cities in Tennessee vote Democratic.

Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville all voted for Kerry in 2004 and Obama in 2008. Now, the counties in which we reside go red, but because of the Democrats in the cities, it shaves points off the total, making the map pink.

[DonRedwood]

17. country folk don't understand the city folk and the city folk are city folk because they

fled the country because they don't understand the country folk.

Did the African American vote get the 08 election closer than usual?

[Fawke Em]

19. Probably.

[LWolf]

8. Yes.

So, since statistics aren't beautiful to me, I'll provide something:

[DonRedwood]

13. Here... I can put this in terms you will understand and think more beautiful

If you had one kitten, Mitt Romney would steal it so he could have four kittens.

[LWolf]

14. Of course.

[DonRedwood]

10. NY Times also has Obama ahead :0) link

15. It's beautiful only if people go out to vote

These voter suppression pile-ons scare me to death.

[DonRedwood]

18. yeah...democracy depends on the voters. funny how that happens

and no doubt the reason the repubs continue to attack the voter. they don't much like democracy...it gets in the way of their pillaging and fascism.
