Election Night, Part III

I'll get right to the point: Romney is in the lead, but don't despair: The crushing blow that California always delivers to any election hasn't been tabulated yet. 55-yeah, FIFTY-F**KING-FIVE electoral votes. There's a reason why about 10% of the US population lives here. We're awesome.

Wyoming, the Dakotas, and all those crappy little red states have voted, meaning the map is now overflowing with red. But remember, Wyoming has the same number of votes as Rhode Island. The election map by population is far more intuitive:


You may remember this graphic from my previous posts. But this isn't an absolute: Romney looks like he might take Virginia and North Carolina. But the two biggest prizes tonight are Florida and Ohio, and Obama leads by a good amount of votes in both of them. Also, Romney has lost Massachusetts and Michigan, two blue states that he had a good chance of winning.

I never thought I'd say this, but I have faith in the people of Ohio. If any Ohioan happens to read this blog tonight, I'm counting on you: You can do this. Don't allow some plutocratic robot from a company-crushing machine step all over you. Show this asshole what America does to hypocrites.

Until 7:00, I'm watching more election results alternating with episodes of Futurama. It's a great god damn show. And for those of you who are still undecided, click THIS link.

Bye! (Until seven!)
