Your chance to vote in the US Presidential Election

[Epic]

Almost everyone is projecting Obama for the 2nd term, guess that's that.

All the major networks have called it. Obama keeps his job, he better stick to healthcare and stay away from gun control. I guess he is the lesser of two evils, as he was last time around.

Fudge Mitt Romney, anyone who owns a 15 million dollar horse will never be able to relate with or be on the side of the middle class.

I only see one good thing about Obama winning. If romney had won, he would surely have had the need to wage war on another country to win the second term. That is the only silver lining I see as a citizen of the world.

I guess everyone pretty much saw this coming...

Hugely relieved to see Obama re-elected.

Well done Obama, had this been in England. That would have been a hung parliament, but it is the US and they have a ridiculous voting system from the 1700's designed by the American slaves. But well down anyway Obama

I want Mark to be the President.

Anyways I am happy to see Obama re-elected.

I'd rather not have a hung parliament. I'd much rather it be 'most votes wins' but no we are obsessed with having a majority here.

Colorado is first on my list if I ever get to visit the US in the future.

There was a joke going round twitter last night. The handy tourist guide to America - don't visit anything that's red.

Utter nonsense. How many more deaths do you want to see before you accept that any weapon that has the potential to take life, SHOULD BE BANNED?

If the weapon has the potential to seriously injure anyone, IT SHOULD BE BANNED FROM CIVILIAN USE! Anyone who disagrees with this, IS ESSENTIALLY A CRACK POT!

In the end, it was not really so close... Romney won only 201 votes from the electoral college. You need to win 270 out of 568 electoral college votes to gain access to the White House. Romney was 69 votes away from it. The media got it completely wrong this time and made a hullabaloo over how close this is going to turn out to be. In the end, Obama won by almost a landslide.

 

[barmyarmy]

It's only not close because of the electoral college. Overall there's only about 1% in it. That's not a landslide.

 

[CG123]

Most of the swing states only had like 1% in them as well.
