Elections 2012: BFP Watch Party
 

This is a thread to post updated poll results and news! A virtual watch party! WEEE!

Jack and I will be cooking up a ribeye and potatoes and nestling into the evil bed at about 4pm to start watching the results.

* putting out some virtual chips and dip and icing down the beer and soda*

No drinking game? (done with or without alcohol)

Shove over then;)

I remember the last time. W/we'd planned on going to bed at some point - remember, there's a huge time difference between here and there - but as it became clearer and clearer that Obama was going to win (and how!), there was no way W/we were going to miss a single second.

It was exhausting, but absolutely magical.

Words

Ack!
 

We're at Antonio's having some lunch while watching a local station. We're not sure what we'll do until we get home:|..

We're both full of anxiety!

I would give just about anything to have you share some space in the biggo bed so we could have a proper watch party piled up around pillows, munchies, and a gabfest!

Miss your face something terrible.

YES!


Every time you hear the phrase "voter suppression", you have to take a swig (of whatever you are drinking!)

While I will be at work from 6pm til midnight eastern time.. I will be making a lot of calls home checking on the results as the night progresses. I hope our nation does the right thing. :eatinghersheybar: I'll need something to get through the day.

I better go buy some more booze..... I'm not positive there is enough to cover that phrase

I'm going to be sitting in my easy chair watching till it's done,fur kids and snacks for both of us on hand.

Ribeye is my fav! :) But thinks I'm making Ravioli with meat sauce tonight and cheese bread.



and any word variation so "vote" counts too. :|

here you go folks, Election Map

I would have taken tomorrow off because I am likely going to be exhausted -- and now maybe hung over -- but it's CAHSEE testing (high school exit exam) here in California. Gotta be here.

I may have to watch CNN. I don't have a TV. I was getting MSNBC illegally online, but the site stopped offering it. Now I get the sound only. I do get to see Rachel every night because she allows her show to be downloaded.

Anyway, I can watch CNN. I think that they will be less paranoid too and mention voter suppression less. That way I will be able to administer the CAHSEE math test tomorrow without falling over.

Im probably going to have to work at home in the morning because we were up until 3am during the last election. I don't see us going to bed before at least Midnight for this one.

Who the heck am I kidding? I won't be able to sleep until they confirm President Obama!

My stomach is in knots. I didn't sleep at all last night. Red works late tonight. I may have to lock up the vodka so I'll still be sober when she gets home. Ughhh.

Yes, Rachel said to carb load. I tried last night -- pretzels. Tonight it's chili.

I'll be here...

If anyone finds a "best place to view this going down online" resource, please post, there are a number of us who don't have televisions!

This will give you CNN, but I imagine most of the networks are streaming live from their websites.

A voting machine in Pennsylvania was taken out of service for flipping votes for President Barack Obama to Republican challenger Mitt Romney Story here

The front page of the New York Times too. Forgot about that.

I will be at work tonight I remember last when POTUS was first elected there was there was a huge crowd of students on the quad we had to go out for crowd control cause they were rowdy but ya know what I sure hope it happens just like that again

Obama thinks it will take till morning to count this up!

Hey that bed is big...think I'll virtually sit with legs folded at the bottom of it, grab the snacks and watch the results pouring in with y'all...and I know, I'm always late to the parties.

I was told by a friend today that Comedy Central does a great job covering elections and it helps keep objects from becoming air born. :-)

Tonight, I will be returning to work after the polls close - to help count the votes - I'm praying for a miracle in the State of Alabama.
What is really scary is back in Nov. 2003 the Alabama's judicial ethics panel removed (at that time) Chief Justice Roy Moore from office for defying a federal judge's order to move a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building. This was a 5,800 pound Stone monument.

His belief is that gays should never be able to adopt children or have children.

ON the other hand we have my boss, Democrat, who has been Judge over our county for 36 years - and in the entire time he has been in office, he has been without a doubt one of the most fiscally responsible leaders in the United States - we have always been in the black and have a large surplus savings.

His opponent was our Sherriff who until last year was a Democrat and decided to jump the fence so he could run against our Judge - His family has more money that fort knox and he had limos picking up people and taking them to the polls to vote -

This man was recently audited and was found to have spent $24,000.00 in renting a jet to be taken and picked up from a football game.

How long will it be before our county has to file bankruptcy if this man gets into office.

I'm really a nervous wreck for so many different reasons on so many different levels -

I'll be leaving in a little while, summoned to my post - I send positive light and energy - please join me in forming a composite of like energery for the People's leaders to come forward in a winning light.

Forgot the important point on Judge Roy Moore, he's running again.
