The idiocy of the undecided voter. "I won�t know until I�m in the voting booth" was a common sentiment. "I�m waiting for a feeling," another said. -- (link) - mara Nov 6, 11:12 2

- The first one I manage to stream from Canada -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 11:11

- [deleted]
- I'll surf around trying to find the least obnoxious commentators and then probably end up on NBC - decline Nov 6, 11:11 2
  - I never watch news, so I'm surfing too but have no idea where I'll end up. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 11:15
  - this, but I don't know where I'll end up. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 11:12

  - This. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:12 1
    - TDS for sure -- nm - Golden Ghost Nov 6, 11:17

- good for you. -- nm - deev another day Nov 6, 11:06
- Effin' liberal!!! -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 11:06
- aren't they required by law to ask, though, even though it's meaningless? they've got to keep themselves entertained somehow, I guess... -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 11:04 1
  - yes, they are required to ask -- nm - decline Nov 6, 11:07
So apparently one of the planets is in the same trickster state when we had the hanging chads debauchle - JenBro Nov 6, 10:59 9

  - Thank you Znu! You always "get" my meaning :) - JenBro Nov 6, 11:08 1
    - :P -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 11:09
  - Ah, I saw "hanging chads" and "state" and thought Florida. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 11:03
- I'm not following you. How is a planet in a state? -- nm - mara Nov 6, 11:00 3
  - I think it's that Mercury is in retrograde .... -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 11:06
  - Forget it, she's rolling. -- nm - Boon Nov 6, 11:01 1
    - Lol -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 11:27
Completely random election-day fact that makes it seem like one candidate is sure to win! -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 10:59 5
- [deleted] 4

AFAICT, $350,000 has been bet on Romney in the last hour on betfair and Obama's price has drifted. -- nm - Loyola Nov 6, 10:54 1

Missed the morning chat, but did we discuss how Romney's traveling press pool is down to 5, as the others left last night to cover Obama? - MDH Nov 6, 10:52 11
- Beryllium posted - and I think we all hope - that the "too close to call" talk is all a media construct. - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 6, 11:00 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - The only media "conspiracy" is that they sensationalize the fuck out of everything. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:22
  - Yes, you're correct. There is no cause for worry. I now have Obama at 107% chance to win. -- nm - N.Silver Nov 6, 11:05
- Train wrecks make better stories. ;) -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 10:59
- [deleted] 5
  - BTW there is a good chance I go crazy/get emotional if MD passes marriage. My friends have been texting all day saying they voted -- nm - MDH Nov 6, 11:02 3
    - What about the ones that said they had too much to do? -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 11:09 1
      - No word yet. -- nm - MDH Nov 6, 11:11
    - [deleted]
  - Just saw it on Towleroad. Loved it. He's a nutcase. -- nm - MDH Nov 6, 10:58
My state senator and state house races were unopposed Republicans. I wonder how many signatures I would've needed to get on the ballot. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 10:52
So we're being called by precinct and last name grouping. 26 A-G hasn't been called in over 15 minutes. Supply chain issues, yo. -- nm - Amanda Nov 6, 10:51
From In Focus - Campaign 2012: The Story in Photos... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:45 2
- I love the caption for #32. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:48 1
  - Yep. Exactly the one I thought. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 6, 10:52
For mara - re Kate Upton. Totally agree. just want to clarify, swimsuit models aren't really modeling the swimsuits. :) -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:45 30
- That was by far the least compelling video of Upton I've seen. -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 11:00
- Not at all. The assumption is my wife will look exactly like that if she wears that swimsuit. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Nov 6, 10:53 1
  - Hello Mrs. Mop! -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 6, 10:55
- Disagreed. - Spawnfall Nov 6, 10:51 24
  - Models sell clothes. swimsuit models do not. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:51 23
    - Swimsuit models are modeling swimsuits, just like models on the runway are modeling clothes. - kelly Nov 6, 10:53 20
      - see below. Runway models are selling me clothes. Swimsuit models are selling SI. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:54 19
        
        have you ever bought something a runway model has worn at a fashion show? -- nm - Beakraker Nov 6, 10:54 17
        
        Department stores buy from the designers, and I buy from the stores. so yes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:57 15
        
        and swimsuits don't get sold the same way? -- nm - Beakraker Nov 6, 10:58 4
        
        Yes, but not the ones Kate Upton is wearing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:58 3
        
        Pretty sure there are a lot of guys that would give good money to buy the ones that Kate has worn. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 11:10 2
        
        I'll call you when Nordstrom has those for sale. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 11:11 1
        
        I'm pretty sure all of the suits in the SI edition are for sale someplace -- nm - decline Nov 6, 11:12
        
        also, the exact clothes you see on the runway are not at all what you get in the store. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:58 9
        
        So... no. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 10:58 8
        
        That's not how the industry works. The runway sells a look. It's theater. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:59 7
        
        Okay. Let's all agree to this before the fashion discussion rips us apart. -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 6, 11:01 6
        
        how can there be fighting when there's boobs? that's like fighting when there's kittens. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 11:05 4
        
        I think people are assuming that because I'm a chick, I'm dissing Kate. - loosilu Nov 6, 11:06 2
        
        No, that's not it. -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 11:08
        
        No, no one assumes that. We assume you're arguing a point no one outside of fashionistas give a shit about. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 11:08
        
        If we genetically engineered kittens with boobs, we could be rich. - Wreck It David Nov 6, 11:06
        
        I don't know why we are arguing. I love Kate Upton. Mop asked why she is not a plus size model. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 11:02
        
        I don't think she understands. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 10:56
        
        I thought they were charitably giving out boners -- nm - Master Kilbo Nov 6, 10:54
    - I don't buy either, so not really. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 10:53 1
      - Swimsuit models sell magazines and calendars. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:53
- Upton is a "plus-size model" in the same way I'm a short basketball player. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 10:49 1
  - I think that works. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:51
[deleted] 3
- All I know is that Obama aired ads during Walking Dead. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 6, 10:52
- Finally we get to the issues. - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 10:50
- This is one of the reasons I like Bloomberg. They don't take themselves too seriously. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 10:50
really? political calls TODAY? -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:43 2

  - too late, boitches! -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 10:46
Creaver battleship closing fast! - Wreck It David Nov 6, 10:43
A look back at the 2008 election night live blog from the NY Times... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:42 3

- "we're meeting you hippies halfway on this 'blog' thing." -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 10:44 1
  - [deleted]
I can't view that page on mobile but I'm going to take a wild stab and say there's no Paul Henderson photo. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 10:40
[deleted] 16
- I *love* this. -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 10:50
- love it. -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 10:47
- Thanks for posting - that's fierce! -- nm - JenBro Nov 6, 10:43
- yeah, this election sets the tone for SCOTUS for 20 years or more. - Reagen Nov 6, 10:42 12
  - Just like the last three elections! -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 10:47 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - But every election since 2000 has been said to be the most important election of our lifetime because of SCOTUS appointments. -- nm - spamlet Nov 6, 10:49 2

  - Possibly. Though Scalia and Kennedy aren't exactly young whippersnappers anymore. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 10:44 5
    - Scalia is pug-stubborn enough to hang on until 2016. - Reagen Nov 6, 10:46 4
      - We need a Pelican Brief to thin out his ranks a little. -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 6, 10:56
      - (I think this already happened with Thomas) -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 10:50 1

- You're a republican and there's proof. It's okay to admit now that it's election day. ;-) - Krusty Nov 6, 10:41 1

Why hello, UPS package... -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 6, 10:36 1
