WI for Obama - projected

Thanks to Scott Walker

manny4life: Although, Romney is leading Obama by 30 votes.

30 or 5?

ramalot: Sounds like u're talking about the college

He he, i like to call the state like the college.

ogugua88: Where? Am I carrying last?

What are watching? Fox?

Penn state confirmed for Obama.

shymexx: Obama wins NY...

expectedly

babalo1: looks like obama is losing this election

You better check your crystal ball again.

Obama up by 10% in Ohio with 29% in.

Ohio, Virginia pls just turn blue.

[quote author=dotcom_na_me_na_me]Romney won Virginia[/quote]West Virginia is different from Virginia

!

engineerd: I
Florida will be close, BUT I AM PREDICTING A ROMNEY WIN!!! FLORIDA IS FULL OF RACIST WHITES....JUST SAYING.

How about the hispanic populatin? They also have an impact down there and Romney's anti-immigration stance should have ruled him out of the game there. The only reason Romney is alive in FL is because of Rubio's ground structure.

SirElaw: Romney presently leadin in Florida
electoral vote : 29

Obama now up by 1% in FL

Obama time

Romney 19 to Obama 3 so far.

Interesting Senate races I'll be watching :
Elizabeth Warren (D) vs Scott Brown (R) - Massachusetts
Sherrod Brown (D) vs 'little boy' Josh Mandel (R) - Ohio
Claire McCaskill (D) vs Todd Akin (R) - Missouri
Tommy Thompson (R) vs Tammy Baldwin (D) - winscosin


In about 24 hours, results will be in at least enough to give an indication of who comes out victorious after months of rigorous campaign, numerous TV ads and dirty brutal attacks.

Just watched Obama's final campaign of his political career in Iowa, he got very emotional, choked up and even appeared to tear up a little.

The race still looks tight but a small tilt will make a lot of difference and totally change the dynamics of the race. The democrats sound pretty confident about a victory tomorrow but with some concern about the shameless way the repubs have gone about their mission of fraudulently disenfranchising voters. That is the only way the repubs can get anything out of this.- FRAUD


I can't even imagine a Romney victory, a campaign whose foundation was built on lies and misleading information, he's been on exile away from the press for the past 2 weeks or so to avoid answering any questions and like the Washington post said last week, Romney's campaign is an insult to voters. "Mr. Romney seems to be betting that voters have no memories, poor arithmetic skills and a general inability to look behind the curtain. We hope the results Tuesday prove him wrong."

Stock up on munchies and make sure the batteries in your TV remote are fresh. With this year's presidential election razor-close to the finish, Tuesday could be a long night.
Even if the presidency isn't decided until after midnight EST, there will be plenty of clues early in the evening on how things are going for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. Obama has more options for piecing together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory, so any early setbacks for Romney could be important portents of how the night will end. The outcome in the battle ground states will be decisive and polls have shown both candidates to be neck-and-neck in these key states.

Florida - Electoral Votes: 29 - Most Recent Poll: Romney 49%, Obama 49%
Ohio - Electoral Votes: 18 - Most Recent Poll: Romney 49%, Obama 48%
Virginia - Electoral Votes: 13 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 50%, Romney 48%
North Carolina - Electoral Votes: 15 - Most Recent Poll: Romney 49%, Obama 49%
Colorado - Electoral Votes: 9 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 52%, Romney 46%
Iowa - Electoral Votes: 6 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 50%, Romney 48%
Nevada - Electoral Votes: 6 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 51%, Romney 47%
Wisconsin - Electoral Votes: 10 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 51%, Romney 48%
New Hampshire - Electoral votes: 4 - Most Recent Poll: Romney 50%, Obama 48%
Pennsylvania - Electoral votes: 20 - Most Recent Poll: Obama 49%, Romney 46%


Here's a timetable for armchair election watchers on how the night will unfold, based on what time the last polls close in each state. All times are EST.

—7 p.m.: Polls close in six states but all eyes will be on Virginia, the first of the battleground states to begin reporting results. If either candidate is comfortably ahead in Virginia, with 13 electoral votes, that could be a leading indicator of which way the night is going.
Virginia typically has been fairly fast at counting ballots. But there's a new voter ID law in the state that could complicate things this year. Voters who don't bring identification to the polls still can have their ballots counted if they produce ID by Friday. If the race in Virginia is super tight, it could come down to those provisional ballots. On Election Night, no one will even know how many of them are out there.
Virginia is especially important for Romney. In 2008, Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Virginia since 1964. Keep an eye on turnout in northern Virginia's Democratic strongholds for an early idea of which way the state will go.

—7:30 p.m.: Polls close in three states, including all-important Ohio (18 electoral votes) and competitive North Carolina (15).
If Ohio is particularly close, and polls suggest it might be, there's a chance the outcome there won't be known until after Election Day, and the presidency could hinge on it. In the last several elections, between 2 percent and 3 percent of the state's votes came from provisional ballots, which aren't counted until later. In 2004, after a long, tense night counting votes, the presidential race wasn't decided until 11 a.m. the next day, when Democrat John Kerry called President George Bush to concede Ohio and the presidency.
Romney desperately needs Ohio; no Republican has won the presidency without it. Without Ohio, Romney would need victories in nearly all the remaining up-for-grabs states and he'd have to pick off key states now leaning Obama's way, such as Wisconsin and Iowa. Obama has more work-arounds than Romney if he can't claim Ohio.
In North Carolina, the most conservative of the hotly contested states, Romney appeared to have the late edge in polling. Obama, who narrowly won the state in 2008, has paid less attention to it recently. An Obama victory there could point to broader troubles for Romney.


—8 p.m.: More pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place as polls close in the District of Columbia and 16 states, including battlegrounds Florida (29) and New Hampshire (4).

Democratic-leaning parts of Florida tend to be the last places to report, so be careful about jumping to a conclusion if Romney looks strong early on. Most of the polls in Florida close at 7 p.m. Eastern, so by 8 p.m. Eastern, when the last polls close, results will start to roll out quickly. But fully 4.5 percent of votes in Florida weren't counted on election night in 2008, so if things are tight, no one's going to be hasty about declaring a victor in the state. Especially after the 2000 fiasco in which the winner in Florida, and thus the presidency, wasn't determined for more than a month. If you want to get really granular, Hillsborough County, home to Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, is widely considered a bellwether for the state.
Tiny New Hampshire is another competitive state to watch closely.

Also keep watch on Pennsylvania for any signs of a Romney surprise. The state has long been considered safe for Obama, but Republicans started running ads there in the final week of the campaign and the GOP ticket was campaigning there Sunday. No Republican presidential candidate has carried the state in nearly a quarter century.

—8:30 p.m.: Polls close in Arkansas (6), where Romney is comfortably ahead in surveys.

—9 p.m.: Polls close in 14 states, including battlegrounds Colorado (nine) and Wisconsin (10). Democrats have carried Wisconsin for six straight presidential elections and Obama had the edge in polling going in, so a flip here would be especially noteworthy.
Colorado, where almost 80 percent of voters cast early ballots, could be a straggler because it's so close. Historically, as much as 10 percent of the state's vote doesn't get counted on election night, and those ballots could be decisive in a close race.
Information from exit polls could help flesh out the Colorado picture: Young professionals and Hispanic voters were central to Obama's victory there in 2008, but the sluggish economy has hurt his standing.
Two more to watch: Minnesota and Michigan. The states long have been considered safe for Obama, but the Republicans made late moves there.


— 10 p.m.: Polls close in four states, including the last of the battlegrounds, Iowa (6) and Nevada (6).

Iowa's been leaning toward Obama, but watch how the vote breaks down geographically. Can Romney's advantage in GOP-heavy western Iowa overcome Obama's edge in eastern swing territory?
If Obama wins Ohio and Wisconsin, Romney would have to have help from the West, in places like Nevada and Colorado. Nevada, where two-thirds of the electorate votes early, has been moving Obama's direction in recent weeks, powered by strength in huge labor and Hispanic voting blocs. A Romney incursion there would really mean something

—11 p.m.: Polls close in five western states, but most are foregone conclusions for Obama. He gets 78 electoral votes from California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington; Romney gets four from Idaho.

— 1 a.m. Wednesday: The last of the polls close, in Alaska. Romney gets three electoral votes. Will many people still be up?
Political junkies could well be waiting to see how things play out in one or more battleground states.


- modified from the Huffington post. - www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/.../us-watching-the-returns/

proudly9ja: Santos was also poor. When Santos plays, he gives the guy in front of him too much work to do. Is it a coincidence Podolski has not been 'effective' since Gibbs got injured? Maybe he's (Santos) out of form) or maybe he's just poor, dunno but for now, unless AW stops trying to be a father to these boys and plays Bacary/Jenks/Miguel on the left, we will have no choice but see him in every game.

No doubt, Gibbs makes the attack look sharper and he pulls defenders to the flanks to decongest and open up the center.

proudly9ja: Game is over though, Schalke is next. With our current form, I do not see us beating Schalke on Tuesday but hopefully they would have a poor game against us and we'ld win . The struggle to create chances. Why Arsene still insists on starting Walcott from the bench is a mystery for me.

After playing 120 mins on Tuesday, I expected Walcott to come off the bench.

coogar: i think santos actually did well against valencia than ashley cole did. if you scour most of the united blogs since saturday, die-hard united fans are bashing valencia's impotency against santos! apart from the few times valencia got away from him, he was pretty much comfortable in that match! he's only a scapegoat because he swapped shirts with rvp - if he had done it in the tunnel, nobody would have known what transpired between van persie and santos!

That Valencia didn't do well doesn't mean Santos was superb. The few times they faced-off, Valencia went through him very easily; I remember Santos making just one interception. Thanks to sloppy finishing by Utd, it could have been another cricket scoreline.

Pataki: Who are you to tell whether Wenger will sign this January or not? Truth is that, none of us know! You can take that to the bank equally! Loan option is not our solution. It has never been, and it would never solve our issues with the low motivation the so-called first team currently has.

Of course you can tell if you know Wenger well. The only door swinging in January may be the EXIT door. I'll be damned surprised if he signs anyone. - don't get too excited about January.

Like the oil in itself is a bad thing . What if it dries up (which is not possible) and the leaders remain unserious about other areas?

She should instead pray for Nigeria to have right-thinking individuals as leaders; the oil is a blessing but the way it is managed makes it look like a curse. If they are serious, nothing stops them from diversifying the Nation's economy while the wells are still flowing.

I wonder if she ever suggested 'diversification' to her boss when she was a minister.

The game went as I expected. I watched ManU play Chelsea with fear last weekend and I just couldn't see the potential Arsenal line-up posing a similar threat.
I'm scared of the upcoming CL game, recent displays haven't been one bit impressive and the team desperately needs a spark.

montelik: There are better players than Walcott available for reasonable money.

That there is a replacement is no excuse for selling top players every season, Theo was the 2nd best player (at least in terms of goal-scoring & assists) last season and has been impressive so far this season. Bringing in new players means they will most likely need time to adapt or blend in.

proudly9ja: If we sell Walcott in January and the fans don't physically march down to Ashburton grove, then Il conclude AW and the board members have used 'jazz' on us

I foresee Wenger and the board making a mess of the contract saga and having to sell Theo over a few hundred pounds; I hope they/we can keep him.

Oh dear !!! Its sickening to read the ignorant rants of a thieving psycho like FFK. This is what happens when people who should be locked away are left to roam free. The hurricane point was the most stup1d - Lol & SMH

kemifemi: I am not a fan of FFK but I must say that I understand the message he's trying to pass across.

You understand him ? he sounds so unintelligible to me.

kemifemi: Obama's health care scheme is mandating all American citizens to sign up and they intend using a micro chip. This chip will be on the forehead or the hand which is where the mark of the beast will be inscribed. (exactly what the bible tells us in the book of revelation).

Really !!! Tell me something. . . .

President Obama has endorsed a woman's right to have an abortion and he has publically denounced ''the right to life'' of unborn babies. Secondly, he has endorsed same-sex marriages. Thirdly, he has consistently supported homosexuality and the rights of homosexuals and lesbians. And fourthly, and perhaps the most disturbing of all, he has endorsed the right of same-sex couples to adopt and raise children. Quite apart from these four Obama has also endorsed all manner of social perversions and deviant behaviour in the name of humanism, ''new age'' liberalism and the permissive American state. No true believer or person of faith can possibly accept such practices, endorse such values and still stand right before God. To put the icing on the cake let me make one more point. Rev. Jene Robinson, a vocal and practising gay, whose ordination as a Bishop split the Anglican Church in America into two, was specially selected by Obama to deliver the invocation of the name of God and prayers at the beginning of the inaugral weekend of his inaugration ceremony as President in 2008. What message was Obama trying to send to America and to the world by insisting on this?

Yes !! blame everything on Obama, he started gay marriage, he invented homosexualism and abortions, he made the constitutional ammendments and wrote the declaration of independence where the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' give all sorts of rights to different people. Yes, Obama did all that.

What do you do to people who do not believe in religion? Impose your religious beliefs on them in the name of governing ? You can't force 'good' moral behaviour on them; as long as they are not committing a 'crime', they are free.

Arsenal get Bradford for the QF, just what I wished for .

I'm still 'shoutless' from yesterday's game.

dayokanu: Last season? Are you talking about when Ghadaffi was still alive? We dey talk last week you are talking last season

How about today ? What happened to your Bayern ? Akpako all the way.

Ibime: That would be the umpteenth clear chance he has missed this season. but to be fair, I don't think that's the reason his goal stats are traditionally low, it must be cos he's a defensive midfielder

My comment was a simple expression , I didn't mean to throw you some Santi-bashing red meat. Abeg no start this your anti-Carzola tirade again.

fredoooooo: Arsenal in big trouble next week ............

The boys will start practicing 9 vs 12 from tomorrow.

shey pursestrings don cripple ni ?

No !!!, Chelshit must equalize, I don't like ojoro.

London Stamford bridge is falling down !!!

Mark Clattenburg should be sent off too.

mukina2: purse strings dived

he should be sent off too, to spare us the drama nxt week.

Na Suarez fault . every fall now is a 'dive'.

Yay !! no matter how scrappy the goal was, we got 3 points and we're up to 4th.
Impressive display by Wilshere on his return, good to have Walcott back too, His introduction made a lot of difference .
Kudos, to Arshavin, I like to give it to him whenever he's involved in the build up to a goal.
and . . . . . . . . . . Santi's miss was da bomb !!!.

dayokanu: You forgot to mention that Artetas goal was also offside

na stroke of luck. Every team gets one of those once in a while. Arsenal benefits least from such.

mukina2: shey you dey tape am?

LIVE !!! You know where to come watch the film nah.

Havilah93: on top wetin?

On top the goal nah, after kicking the floor here trying to score the goal myself, I had to celebrate when it went in.
