According to CNN's exit poll, 60% of Ohio voters approve of the auto bailout

The polls just closed in The United States Of Ohio. Should be over soon

Reporter on CNN says he's obtained the Romney camp's final internal poll for Ohio and it showed Romney behind by 5 points.

Take it with a grain of salt

Well if that is the case it be over. Hard to see oh be that far from natonal polls though.

I'd be surprised if Obama won by 5 points.

But 1) the economy is better here than the national average. 2) The auto bailout was supported by a higher percentage than the national average. Ohio may be somewhat "unique" this election. 3) Still a state that largely supports unions. Note that Kasich's law banning public unions was abolished by statewide referendum.

Yeah dad said the Unions were lying there asses off during that referendum. Heh

Cuyahoga hasn't updated shit lately.

Kasich's mistake is that he went a lot farther than Walker in Wisconsin. He went after the fire and police unions too. People will tolerate and even applaud when a bureaucrat's salary gets slashed but when you appear to be attacking the firemen and their pensions and benefits, well...

One thing I will never understand is voting a split ticket.

If you like what the guy at the top wants to do, wtf do you hamstrng him by voting for the other party for house or senate? Manchen n wv is a prime example. He ran completely away from oprama, who hates coal, yet he will of course caucus with dems. Which means your desires on coal are fucked.

Don't get that.

Maybe you just want gridlock? Parties seem to abuse their power any time they control all three branches

Obama up about 90,000 votes with 61% of precincts reporting in Florida

[aTm]

Gasp!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Down to only a 20,000 vote margin with 69% of precincts in. But Miami-Dade is lurking out there...

[Dr. Strangelove]

CNN just gave Michigan and New Jersey to Obama. Looks like those weren't all that close after all

Jesus...81 vote difference on fl sc st site. Site is ahead of all reporting I've seen.

[bluetick]

If Obama holds FL it's all over early.

Already starting to hear the Sandy-momentum-kiler hand wringing.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Fox is already talking as if Romney has lost...LOL...Jesus, it's not over

[Dr. Strangelove]

Good news for R's. CNN projecting they will keep the House.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Gridlock is good.

[Jungle Rat]

Its almost like a 2 hour episode of 24. The tension is mounting. Rich vs. Middle Class/Poor.

[Jungle Rat]

Gridlock is good.

Sounds like your sex life. At least that's what she told me right before you came home.

people still in line voting in Virginia.
