ELECTION NIGHT RESULTS HQ; UPDATE: OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION; AMERICA HOPELESSLY DOOMED

Posted on Comments

GAHANNA, Ohio
UPDATE 10:35 p.m. ET: It’s over, folks: Obama wins Wisconsin, which invalidates any remaining alternative path to 27o for Mitt Romney. Florida looks very much like a loss for Romney, who will hang on to North Carolina and, maybe, Virginia, but that’s not enough if Florida is gone.

The last time I looked at Ohio results, Romney was trailing by 60,000 votes and actually under-performing in the bellwether, Butler County. But the apparent loss in Ohio is moot, without Florida. Also, Iowa and Colorado look kinda iffy. So it is time to think about what this means — The Final Wisdom, the gestalt of the zeitgeist, which I must write for the American Spectator.

Please forgive me for having encouraged anyone to believe that there was still hope to save America. We’re obviously doomed beyond all hope of redemption.

UPDATE 10:50 p.m. ET:The dark gloom of stygian night might be mildly lightened if you were to hit the tip jar.

* * PREVIOUSLY 7 p.m. * *

It’s 7 p.m. ET and polls just closed in the key battleground state of Virginia. It is also now 30 minutes until polls close here in the key battleground of Ohio.

The Other McCain Decision Desk™ 2012 is watching results closely, preparing to be first to declare officially that Mitt Romney has won.

UPDATE 7:15 p.m. ET: We can declare Romney the winner in Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina, while Obama has won the Peoples Democratic Republic of Vermont.

UPDATE 7:25 p.m. ET: CNN just called Indiana for Romney, but still considers Georgia and South Carolina “too close to call.”

The word for this is not “journalism,” but hallucinations.

UPDATE 7:33 p.m. ET: CNN just called West Virginia for Romney, but South Carolina and Georgia “too close to call”? And they’re also reporting exit polls as if they were talking about actual results.

UPDATE 7:45 p.m. ET: Finally, Wolf Blitzer decides that South Carolina can be safely called for Mitt Romney, as if there were ever any doubt at all.

Linked by The Lonely Conservative — thanks!

UPDATE 7:50 p.m. ET: Decision Desk™ 2012 is going to the store to buy a couple of packs of cigarettes. John King is on CNN babbling Democrat propaganda like the dishonest stooge he is. Polls haven’t even closed yet in the Panhandle of Florida, and King is giving a spin on the results that would make David Plouffe proud.

UPDATE 8:36 p.m. ET: Maryland, Illinois, Maine, Massaschusetts and Connecticut for Obama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas for Romney. Still going over the map. Virginia and Florida currently appear too close to call. I’m looking hard at North Carolina.

UPDATE 9:30 p.m. ET: Still crunching numbers here. If Mitt wins Florida, it will be by a very narrow margin, and Virginia is giving me the sweats. Loudoun County now at Obama 51% to Romney 48%, which aren’t the kind of numbers that reassure me.

The Decision Desk™ just got himself a cold Yuengling.

UPDATE 9:45 p.m. ET: Obama wins both Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. Romney maintains leads in North Carolina and Virginia. Florida remains neck-and-neck.

UPDATE 10:05 p.m. ET: You’ll excuse my failure to report numbers from Ohio, but if Romney can’t win Florida, Ohio is moot and the numbers aren’t looking too encouraging in Florida right now.

UPDATE 10:25 p.m. ET: Obama wins Wisconisn.

  1. […] you’ll get one of them.— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) November 6, 2012UPDATE IV: Elecion Night Results HQ, featuring The Other McCain Decision Desk™ 2012.Category: Election 2012, Fear. Loathing., OhioComments bet0001970I just drove by my polling station […]

  3. CNN has scary results for Florida with about 25% in, but I am sure those are Obama counties reporting first. So stay calm and have a drink. I recommend bourbon in honor of Kentucky going the right way first.

  6. Romney has won West Virginia. In Florida, those results were in early voting. Romney will win Florida by 6, at least.

  10. Politico has Romney taking WV, SC, OK, KY, IN, & TN

    FL R- 49.7 to Zer0’s 49.5 with 30.9% reporting
    NC R-51.3 to 47.9 with 10.8% Reporting
    VA R-56.8 to 42 with 26% reporting

    Allen is ahead of Kaine in VA

    Zer0 is way ahead of Mittens in Ohio, but it is still very early. Ohio’s returns are coming in much slower than I’ve seen their stuff come in before.

    As of 8:36 EST

  14. What’s scary to me about Florida is that at quarter till nine, 60 percent of Florida is counted and it’s still bouncing back and forth between Romney and Obama alternately taking a 51-49 lead.

  17. 67.4% reporting according to Politico and the two are separated by 3047 votes with Zer0 on top at the moment @9:24 pm EST

    Hopefully we won’t have any hanging chads this time around.

  18. Politico and NBC have MI in the Obama column. The map still has far more red than blue. at those two. So far VA is running strong for Mittens and he also has a slim lead in NC. I did my part for MIttens in NC and I hope there is some sense down east and Mittens lead holds to the end. I’m hoping for a turnaround in FL too. OH keeps tightening for Mittens, and it looks like PA is probably out of reach for Mittens, but the returns are rather slim on both Politico and NBC.

  21. Y’know, I just got home from work, and this is NOT looking good! >:(

    And what are Pennsylvanians gonna do for work? Obama will destroy everything in that state. Sheesh!

    I need a drink!

  25. Look at the percentage of precincts reporting in WI….11%! Too early to call, either way, but it’s leaning towards Mitts.

  32. From Fox: Ohio, 51% of the precincts reporting, Mitts/Zero 51%/48%, but that’s down from a 7% gap an hour ago.

    Hope remains. Even if Obama buggered the concept.

  40. Massive, digital voter fraud, unprecedented in American history. No other explanation. They’ve learned how to change results. This isn’t an election – this is a coup.

  41. I think it’s too early for MI and WI. I think PA is out of reach. With the tallies going as they are in FL, that may be out of reach too, but things do remain close.

    Like Soylent, however, it seems as though 2010 never happened. The problem is Mittens himself, in my opinion.

    In The Mass Senate race, it’s been called for Fauxcahontas. All of the excuses aside, Brown was simply too much like a Dim to raise much enthusiasm. If he had changed a couple of his votes, he might have made it, but he brought the house down around his head. He has only himself to blame.

  46. All I have to say is it would not have been as good under Romney and it will not be as bad under Obama. And that is due to people of goodwill and mendacious individuals regardless of who wins.

  49. Things are not looking good, but WI is still only showing 38% of the precincts reporting. Mitt and Zero are within 10K votes of each other.

    FL….bleah.

    If I must despair, it’ll come from the vote tally, not from projections.

    Now, I’m just worried.
