So I guess the Intrade gamblers are "lying" too eh?

Intrade - Obama to be re-elected: 71.5% (closing in on his all-time high).

Why is that everything is a conspiracy with you folks?

No conspiracy....just not letting the lefties try to discourage the vote by saying Obama has won.

This state paper site says Romney has already won Ohio.

I'm not saying I believe that or not, but I am saying that all media stations are saying that voter turnout is hitting record numbers all over. That is exactly what the republicans are hoping for!

It is going to be long night....actually several days....and anyone calling this election this early is an absolute idiot. Plain and simple.

Yeah, it's a "conspiracy" when you think that ALL the polls are deliberately lying and when you think that ALL the media are against you - and that's what you folks claim ALL THE TIME.

Regarding the huge turnout, as I said in another post - big voter turnout generally means bad news for the GOP because GOP voters tend to be more reliable, so when the turnout is small it's usually the Democratic voters who haven't showed up - but when the turnout is large it's generally because not only the GOP is turning out but the Democrats too.

New voter registration here in "Blue" Washington state is a new record this year - clearly there's a LOT of interest on the Democratic side as well.

Why are you conservatives wasting your time here?

The banks are open on the East coast. You still have time to wire money to intrade.com. You can get 3-1 odds against Romney, who you KNOW is going to win.

While you're at the bank, drawn down that home equity line to zero. You KNOW this is a sure thing, you'll never have another opportunity like this.

Take those patsies for everything they're worth! They're just waiting for you to separate them from their money.

You know, I was just thinking...Regardless of who wins, the losing side is going to see it as a giant F*** you to them.

Exclamation hmm....

Romney continues to falter as his momentum deflates dramatically on the morning of the election.

Could you quote source saying that voter turnout is hitting record numbers? I want to know if you mean 'Record low' or 'record high'. This will allow me to see where you're coming from in your assertion.

Everything I've read points to low voter turnout because of damage from the hurricane, long wait times(Not due to lines, but delays in places opening and building damage from the hurricane).

Hopefully, we can cut off the arguments that will stem from this by allowing you a chance to more fully explain yourself. Also, if you could explain what you meant by the Republicans hoping for record numbers in voting. As far as I knew, that was last election and it didn't turn out so well for them. If they had planned for record high numbers, then they didn't run their election very well: Negative campaigning doesn't get people out to vote, it just saps energy from them so they don't. If you meant record low, then I would want numbers to prove it.
