Barack Obama wins re-election.
Mitt Romney concedes.
Marriage equality is made legal in Maine and Maryland.
The first openly gay Senator is elected as well.

  The government is become way too liberal.

Unless the Republican Party can realize that their ideology is becoming unpopular among a large portion of Americans and start appealing to the youth vote and the minorities, they are going to continue having trouble getting into the White House. It's disappointing - the Republican Party used to be an excellent party in the earlier years of this country.

Romney doesn't want to concede Ohio.

fwiw, Virginia still gives President Obama a slim lead. Also Nevada has gone to Obama bringing him up to 281 electoral votes.

For good reason...Romney now has a 0.5% lead in Ohio. This may have been called too early.

Obama wins Ohio and wins the Presidency for another four years.

California, Ohio, and Washington go to Obama. Oregon too early to call.

Politico projects Mitt Romney will win North Carolina. Virginia is looking to go to Romney unless a major turn out in Northern Virginia occurs. Florida will probably need a recount, but Obama retains his lead with 7% left to report.

Utah now goes to Mitt Romney. Iowa is too early to call. Nevada is too early to call. Romney wins Montana. Race is tied, 162 for Obama and Romney.

Obama just won New Hampshire. Romney's path to 270 is getting tighter and tighter.

Big big call - Scott Brown has been toppled from the Massachusetts Senate seat.

EDIT: In Indiana, Mourdock's comments about rape have come back to haunt him. The Democrat will take the Senate seat for Indiana.

FLORIDA is very very close and Obama holds a slim margin. If Obama wins Florida, then the election will practically be over for Mitt Romney. This is very, very surprising.

Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, and Mississippi go to Mitt Romney. Obama wins Michigan, New York, and New Mexico. Obama also wins New Jersey.

Current count is 123 Obama, 152 Romney.

Michigan was a hopeful for Romney - not so.

Can anybody explain to me how Romney got SC when Obama is in the lead there?

Exit polls show a clear majority for Romney.

NBC calls Arkansas for Romney. Romney 88, Obama 64.

Well, it was the Northeast, so electoral wise I don't think Sandy turned that region red. New Hampshire, the only real toss up state in that area, didn't get the worse. The main concern would be voting turn out but officials seem to be on top of that.

Nationally, I think it helped Obama slightly - gave him a chance to be Presidential, plus it was a distraction from the constant campaigning.
