how come the losing candidate never seems to run again in future elections? Is it simply because it takes a lot of resources or are there rules in each party that prevents them from running again?

Some unspecifieds with Romney's plan. He feels like a puppet to me...not someone that has his own opinion about anything. Seems like everything he does is planned and calculated. The only time you get the feeling you're looking at the real Mitt Romney is when he gave that speech about the 47%. Like he believes he's that far above normal folks.

Off-topic, but.... this is the mental image I have of you Jason ;)

It's embarrassing to the party they are affiliated with if they do. Actually, it's embarrassing in general.

"They had their turn, let someone else carry the torch".

Nixon lost in 1960 against JFK, he ran again and won in '68.

Here we go! Romney wins Kentucky

Not a Romney fan but I'd really like to see a balancing in the US budget, particulary doing smth about the looming fiscal cliff.

Live results can be found here: Election Results

I'll be disappointed in America if Obama doesn't take it tonight.

Polls have closed in Ohio, awaiting results!

W T F
Romney 33
Obama 3

Race to 270

Not looking good in these early stages...

:suspicious:

Did you ever look at which states those are from?

Romney is expected to take those redneck states. Obama will do considerably better when the results come in for midwest, central, and western US.

^ exactly those are Romney's state from the beginning. if he didn't win them he would've already lost.

wow romney leads ohio

if you look at the live update Obama is leading Ohio but lets keep in mind most states are only reporting 1 or 2% of the votes so far

wait a few more hours to get an accurate result ;)


and as for Ohio the provisional ballots wont be counted until Nov 17 so if its close there they wont know who wins for a couple of weeks ;)

Hoping that's the case and at the end of the night Obama wins

constantly refreshing page :concentrate:

i think the deciding factor is whoever wins ohio LOL

CNN projection thus far 64:40 favoring Obama

CBS has it 82:64 favoring Romney

seems like obama's gna ohio afterall

Obama: :notbad: Time to pull in my votes now. 61 vs 49 now :fuckthatshit:

Romney: :okay:

Elections = quants junkies' dreams

^
Hopefully he wins.

LOL CNN rigged the Empire State Building to have red/blue lights reflecting the race progress
