LockStockVilla Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In view of how blacks are voting over whelmingly for him I'm Surprised Obama doesn't appear to have won Mississippi .. Doesn't it have a black majority population ? Edit : just switched over to the BBC who seem to be using African American rather than Sky's "black" Nope, whites are still the ethnic majority in Mississippi. Out of the 50 states, only Hawaii does not have a white ethnic majority...and DC, but that obviously does not count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 600 votes in it in Florida , guess the votes of the people still queuing could be crucial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted November 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2012 Looks like all three statewide ballot questions will pass in Massachusetts: Question 1: Right to Repair Law (would require automakers with dealers in the state to provide independent repair shops with the same diagnostic and repair information that dealers get): Yes - 84%, No - 16% Question 2: Legalize Physician-Assisted Suicide: Yes - 51%, No - 49% Question 3: Legalize Medical Marijuana: Yes - 63%, No - 37% Warren off to an early lead, but the MetroWest suburbs that lean Brown have mostly not yet reported.

maqroll Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Florida 50/50 without Broward and Miami-Dade counties reporting, meaning Obama will win Florida. Game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 7, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2012 Iirc at this point in time without Florida he can't feasibly win. To win without Florida he would need all the other swing states in his favour, which he can no longer do, do would require other states to swing which is not something you'd bank on. If he loses Florida all he could do would be to let the lawyers off their leashes in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think based on the BBC predictions Florida is becoming irrelevant so probably no need for the lawyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 4 more years of Obamarama then, marginally better than the alternative if you're not an American. I'd imagine the fallout from the Republicans is going to be bitter to say the least and that New Jersey Governor will be less than popular with his party after basically endorsing Obama.

maqroll Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Colorado and Washington state both voted to legalize recreational use of cannabis, Oregon surprisingly voted it down. Massachusetts voted for medical legalization and Physician Assisted Suicide... Maine and Maryland voted for marriage equality. Good to see some progressive measures pass.

drat01 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Superb news. Hopefully the end of the tea party also. Funny how cameron just praised his friend the same friend when he supported mcain? Great speech from obama in victory. Romney still seemed out of his depth right until the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
