Obama will win Virginia confirmed! He does not even need Florida. He will win Ohio as well and it will be over at 11pm ET just like four years ago. No states have been called for any candidates yet so please stop posting false info.

All exit polls show he is winning both and your can check the odds as well if you like betting. It's 20 mins before close in Virginia so lets wait and see. It's NOT going to be a long night just like 2008!

And Romney is the saviour of African Americans

Nah, at least they would know what to expect, and critique him..

With Obama in the white house, AAs have not been able to speak with one voice about their plights... And Obama has refused to talk about them...

These results, KY and IN, have not been officially called. Only less than 5% as been called

I know it's four but that four is strategic because NH is technically a swing state.

Obama is the president of the US and not just AAs. AAs have been neglected for years and AAs haven't helped matters as well. Obama was never going to change their plight in 4 years.

What do you suggest Obama should have done that he didn't?

Some info on early exit polls from Florida:

67% of today's voters are White, 16% are Hispanic, 13% are Black and 1% are Asian.

Forty-nine percent of today's Florida voters say President Obama would better handle Medicare while 47% say Romney.

Twenty percent of Florida's voters --one in five-- waited until late in the campaign to decide which presidential candidate to support, while 78% say they made up their minds before October 20th.

Romney should win Florida with ease...

Obama is both black and white(white mother and a black father). I hate when it boils down to race or skin color.

Obama is the President of America and not African Americans. He cannot be seen to be fighting the cause of African Americans against all other races. And remember they constitute 13% of the electoral so he has to be very careful! The US is not 9ja where we will say "it is turn of South South to enjoy since our son is there now"

I know - however, white people already have the upper-hand in the scheme of things, and every policy would definitely benefit them more than the minorities... Obama should have at least tried to implement a couple of minority-oriented policies directed towards AAs..

He talked about immigration(Hispanics) - he should have at least done something about the war-on-drugs and the prison system to solve the problems of disproportionate imprisonment of young black males....
Re: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by Nobody: 12:47am On Nov 07, 2012
No state has been declared anyway. Both Romney is leading in the aforementioned states of IN and KY

Come on they voted for him en masse in 2008, yet he's allergic to talking about them - it's sad!!

He is yet to win. Romney is leading based on available results. No state has been declared.
Of course, I am for Romney all the way

So what, if GM is going bankrupt. At least he tried to save it, and Chrysler would not have had a fighting chance if not for him. And you keep talking about how he could have done more, Is he a dictator?? Only dictators can pass the law that they want to pass, and do as they wish. Its called checks and balances.

Do we think Romney can move the country forward?! My take on this election is that Obama tried his best which wasn't good enough - so, he should be given the second chance. I also blame the GOP on failure to cooperation by them on bipartisanship!

The issue of African Americans should be a separate thread we cannot discuss at the moment. I do not see what more Obama could have done. Who were they people you think Romney was referring to as the 47%? Don't you think African Americans and Hispanics. Obama don try abeg, he cannot focus only on 13% of the electorate and abandon 87%, he can never get re-elected that way.
Re: Barack Obama Vs Mitt Romney : Election Night Thread by Nobody: 12:53am On Nov 07, 2012
Damn I really wish we in d UK could vote. Britain gets dragged into every American war hence I feel we should have a stake in who becomes president!
