Iowa Hiho!

[annielaurie]

he has to face a hostile Congress that is predominately Republican and determined to bring him down and block him every step of the way.

Piss poor excuse Annie and that is besides the fact that he had a democrat congress for the first 2 years and still got fuck all done

Nope, disagree with you on that, IQ.

Somehow Obama only had less than 30 working days that he could actually get something done with both houses of Congress. Something about the filibuster ...

Sam Wang's final prediction: (he has correctly predicted the last 4 elections, and in 2008 he was the ONLY statistician to get the 365 electoral votes for the President, and not 364.

His final is: Obama 332. Romney 206

Fascinatng map, Atlanta. Shows it more the way it really is. We shall see what happens by tonight.

I hope Obama is returned. 4 years isn't enough to prove himself especially after the destruction Bush left behind. Who wants a Mormon controlling the world and telling Australia what to do? The local news is very negative about the turnout to vote and claims most of them are Republicans.

Abbott the devout Catholic and Romney the devout Mormon will not be a good team for this country.

Well said Mantra, I couldn't agree more. They're saying Obama will win tonight. Exciting!

Obama has been said to have won his first state of the night, New Hampshire. There is already talk that Ohio will be forced into a recount which could mean it would be 2 weeks before the results are known. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Keep your fingers crossed Annie. It could be close. Romney might appeal to the extreme capitalists, but he could be a loose cannon when in power. He indicates he's a self made man, but forgets to mention his privileged upbringing, tax havens and offshore accounts. He has a history of sneaky dealings and hasn't made full disclosure of his activities. A leopard doesn't change his spots overnight.

You are right to disagree

I alluded to the dems controlling congress about 50% of Obamas term
The reality is that the dems controlled the senate for Obamas full term and the HOR for half of it

So it has been more like 75% control for Obamas time in office
Even more of a piss poor excuse that you offer

I'm impressed that you know so much about him, and you are right. Well said, Mantra.
