Election Night Blogging
7:00pm:
Richard Mourdock is leading? How in the hell is anyone voting for Richard "rape pregnancies are God's plan" Mourdock?
7:10:
Geezus, Tim Kaine, if you can't beat George "Macaca" Allen, you might as well hang it up!
7:11:
I think Mitt Romney just won President of Kentucky.
Chuck Todd looks like a rumpled drunk.
Also, I hate that guy.
7:30:
Is South Carolina in play? That's pretty shocking.
How is Sherrod Brown not blowing out Josh Mandel? The guy called Mourdock a "class act!" How is that not electoral poison?
Oh, and speaking of Mourdock, he's losing now. So things are not completely insane.
7:35:
Aaaaaand, it's gone! South Carolina goes for Romney. I knew that was too weird to be true. I've been to South Carolina, there's no way Obama was going to have a chance there.
7:40:
Why does Chuck Todd keep saying that Barack Obama is "overperforming" in this or that county? How does one "over-perform?"
On a related note, why is Chuck Todd on television?
7:45:
Wow, is Ezra Klein wearing lipstick?
I'm not saying it's not workin'.
7:50:
Barack Obama is leading in Florida. Let the shenanigans begin!
8:00:
I just found out that if the National League team wins the World Series, the Democrats win the White House, so another good reason to love the SF Giants.
And hate the Yankees.
8:05:
Congratulations, Angus King. Cool to see another independent.
8:10:
Chuck Todd: if Obama wins 60% of Hispanics, he can't lose Florida. It will certainly make it too close to call all night. If that makes sense to you, congratulations, you're Chuck Todd!
8:15:
Oh my God, Chris Matthews, there IS NO BRADLEY EFFECT! How are you trotting that shit out in 2012?
8:20:
Howard Feinman just pronounced "Stratum" like "Stray-tum." Have I been saying it wrong all these years?
8:25:
Chris Matthews, you really shouldn't brag about being good friends with the people you're supposed to cover.
8:30:
You know, Rachel Maddow, you really don't need to break in to tell us that Romney is winning Arkansas.
8:40:
Just saw this picture of the world's most douchey furries:
8:45:
Oh, hey, here's an idea. How about NOT interviewing Ken Blackwell? The guy can't even get through his bullshit talking points without smirking.
8:47:
Ken Blackwell is more full of shit than a fertilizer factory. Just don't have him on the show. Don't give this liar a platform.
8:50:
Blackwell is lucky he didn't come in studio for this interview, because Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz would be beating his ass right now.
Don't you apologize to him, Rachel!
8:55:
Apparently, #VoteWhite is a real thing on Twitter:
"Johnny Bravo" is apparently a HUUUUUUGE piece of shit:
The Electoral College was the founders' worst idea, totally anti-democratic (intentionally) but it sure makes election night more exciting. It's like the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament: Breaking news, there's an upset brewing in Carolina!
9:10:
NBC should totally not be doing this "democracy Plaza" or whatever thing when so many New Yorkers are still without electricity. The money they spent turning Rockefeller Center into a giant election map could maybe have been spent better?
9:15:
Wasn't Pennsylvania supposed to be a "swing state?" Obama is destroying Romney there!
9:17:
I didn't know Tammy Baldwin was gay. You go, Wisconsin!
9:25:
This exists:
9:35:
Gee, adding Paul Ryan to the ticket didn't help Mittens in Wisconsin! I'm shocked!
9:45:
Yay! Mourdock slinks home in defeat! Which is something that God intended to happen.
9:47:
Um, Chuck Todd, when you say "46+4+50," which you really needn't say, you totally don't need to add "that's Five-Oh." No one was asking "did he say 50 or 15?"
9:50:
If Elizabeth Warren had lost, I would have wept myself to death by dehydration.
10:05:
Down goes Akin! Don't worry, maybe it wasn't a legitimate defeat.
10:10:
Linda McMahon lost? But her husband is a famous buffoon! That totally qualifies her to hold elected office!

The Funny Racist™ @TheFunnyRacist
I heard Michelle Obama will be wearing a cotton dress tonight. I wonder if she "picked it" out herself? #VoteWhite

Senatorial!
10:15:
Hey, Chuck Todd, the election is going on RIGHT NOW! Are you seriously running a segment entitled "road to 270, WHAT IF?"
10:20:
Ben Nelson replaced by a Republican? But how will we tell the difference?
10:25:
I know there's a long way to go, but my brain is still on daylight savings time and I'm going to bed.
