- *scanners* *polling* Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 10:32
Chances that the election is called by 10pm eastern tonight? (I want to watch SoA live!) -- nm - Jovian Nov 6, 10:31 11
- The earliest it can be really called is post West Coast closing. I think that's 11pm eastern. - Will Hunting Nov 6, 10:36
- Very poor. We'll be lucky if there's anything definitive out of Ohio by morning. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:32 2
  - I'd be very surprised if Ohio isn't called tonight. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:33 1
    - Same here. The total will be close, but it will still likely be a several hundred thousand vote separation. -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 10:35
- I'd say next to zero, because of west coast polls. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:32 5

- #34. Rainbow trout. Really? - Master Kilbo Nov 6, 10:30 2
  - It has a baby in its mouth! -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:30 1
    - Apparently the trout is the baby, the big fish is a predator (pike). -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:31
- That's pretty cool, but I don't really get why #1 is such a great photo. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:29 2
  - a bunch of them aren't actually very good photos, just right place/right term or seminal moments. but a few are kind of head-scratchers are to why - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:30 1
    - Like #86 (Joe Montana) just seems like a very standard picture. I would venture there are many better Montana pictures. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 11:21
- 93 is criminally underranked. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:29 5
  - I can't believe that isn't higher. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 10:31 4

      - It's got to be Top 5 in most famous. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 10:32 1
        
        It's probably ranked about right, but I love that Rodman picture at 45 -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 6, 10:34
- thanks. (I can't believe they didn't do it click by click. kudos to them.) -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:27

- One of those comments says, "Plus sized model". the f**k planet they on? -- nm - Jovian Nov 6, 10:21 6

    - she is not a fashion model. she's what the Brits call a glamour model. - loosilu Nov 6, 10:30 1
      - She's basically a swimsuit model who gained enough celebrity to do more. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 10:35
    - as do 90% of most women (in NJ anyways) -- nm - Jovian Nov 6, 10:30
  - she really isn't. a plus size model models clothing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:27 1

Disgusting. Tea Party group targets trans voters in the name of combatting "voter fraud" -- (link) - znufrii Nov 6, 09:38 1
