If you're watching the elections, where are you looking?
#298578 - 11/06/12 11:34 PM


www.politico.com/2012-election/map/#/President/2012/ has Obama with a strong lead over Romney, and Johnson still in striking distance.

...

With 43 votes reported in New Hampshire for some reason.

There are no actual results yet and there won't be until the polls start closing.
Indiana and Kentucky (portions of both) are first to close at 6pm EST.

Here's a decent map of closing times...

EDIT: I forgot about those two tiny towns in NH with 10 and 33 residents that voted just after midnight last night.

Generally though, I'm watching three blogs at the moment for info on the election...

At 6pm, I'll probably turn on some TV. I only have the local channels, and I'll probably jump around.

I know none had closed. I was asking to find out if there might be something better than what I linked to, which is showing results on a map as they come in.

So... Politico seems to have called Kentucky as soon as they closed, with 12% reporting, and Vermont with 0%(!) reporting.

Waiting to see Maine go with a 3-1 split and tie the election.

That comes from AP. While it differs somewhat from the Politico map, they're still doing things like, for example, calling Maryland with 0.1% reporting.

They've each got the same number of electoral votes called for each (64-40 now), but from different places... no, they match now 64-51. No, they un-called OK, but added 16 (GA, light tint?) to Romney. Heh.

May as well wait for someone who cares about their reputation.

With hotties like Robin Meade and Soledad O'Brien, I figured that CNN would be a good channel to watch for the news. Unfortunately, the only picture I saw was a map with a lot of blue and red on it, so I got bored and turned off the tv.

Only 4% of California has reported and news sites are already saying Obama won the state.

That doesn't make any goddamn sense. Wait until 50, 60% of the votes have been counted, not 4%.

Does anyone remember Soledad O'Brien being on a kids show in the late '80s or early '90s? I remember her doing a news segment. It was either "science news" or else the whole show was science themed, but I don't remember much else about it.

Anyhow, that's what I think of when I hear her name. It seems kind of weird to me that she's a real reporter now.

What you missed:
After billions spent, Congress and the Oval Office are pretty much unchanged.

We changed from elections to electrons back there. The stuff I missed happened last week, not this:
I've found my episodes of Arrow and Supernatural, need to investigate South Park (oh wait, they'd rerun it this week if it existed, right?), then move on to Thursday.

I remember watching her on THE SITE around 1997 or so, but that's it.
