How Early Will It End On Election Night?

[LeRoy_Was_Here]

I'm thinking VERY early. When New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida all fall into the Obama camp, with Ohio to follow, it will be over. Good. I'll be able to go to bed early on election night, and sleep soundly, without having to worry about how Mitt Rmoney and Paul Ryan would wreck the country.

However, LeRoy, be sure to cast your ballot in Colorado before you go to bed. You wouldn't want to be embarrassed by having Romney win Colorado.

We can vote by mail here in Colorado, and I will be doing that. Don't have to fight the crowds at the polling places. Will be sending my ballot in a few days before the election. But yes, I think Obama will win Colorado, too. And Iowa. And Wisconsin. And Michigan. And Nevada. It's shaping up to be an electoral rout.

Being the greedy bastard that I am, I am dreaming of a blue Missouri, Indiana, Arizona, Tennessee, and Montana. (I want Tennessee in 2012 to be the equivalent of North Carolina in 2008. Al Gore would be happy.) This would not happen today. But who knows by November 6.

The more, the better. I want Obama to have a clear MANDATE for his second term, so that even if the House of Representatives remains in Republican hands---as is still likely---they will be under intense public pressure to cooperate and compromise with the President.

You should edit this post and add a poll. If Florida and Ohio fall to Obama, then it's over.

Of course, that's why there has been so much effort on the part of the Republicans in those states to manipulate the outcome of the vote. I still don't trust the electronic voting machines -- nor the courts.

BUT BUT BUT, Romney/Ryan promise that if they cut taxes and in Romney's own words, "we essentially do nothing" manufacturing plants will spring up like MAGIC MUSHROOMS (thanks LeRoy for that ONE).... So you have all the PJ Republicans and vast numbers of Republicans across the land believing in MAGIC MUSHROOMS and they will vote for MAGIC MUSHROOMS.

I am concerned about this election. Too many here like Dino, Jen, Jack Jack Jack Dallas, DO, etc are on MAGIC MUSHROOMS....

King County has been "all mail" and no polling places for the past couple of years. I will mail my ballot in early as well. (I am leaving on a business trip on November 6.)
