Dems lose a Senate seat in Nebraska - can't have it all.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Kaine won in VA. Current electoral count appears to be 243-188 Obama, but still no surprises. The only states even close to being swing states that were called were WI, PA, and AZ. The latter went to Romney (as expected) and the other two went to Obama (also expected).

Please proceed, Governor.

There it is.

Silver is good.

That call did not require good.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

lol, I was just wondering about that. :)

Edit: that is, legalization in CO. Yes, Obama will speak, after Romney concedes.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love.

Looks like it could be a senatorial victory for the Dems in North Dakota, that's pretty incredible, no?

I know it doesn't matter anymore, but Romney lead in Virginia now slashed to 0.5% with 10% of the vote still to be counted.

It still matters, if not in a decisive way.

It went blue in 2008. So did NC, which is now red. NBC hasn't called anything past Ohio yet.

Edit: Oh I see, you meant for the first time tonight. Could have sworn I saw Obama ahead there earlier.

CNN and other assholes already trying to de-legitimize the win and what it means.
