at 92.2 and 315 EV at one point. Wonder what the hell happened? (Not really middle of the night for me - I'm in Asia)

I have no electricity and limited ability to use Internet through my iPhone but have been listening to my battery-powered radio for news and just about all of them are saying it's now just about dead even in the swing states.

the GOP from being able to steel this "too close to call" election. He was "new" in '08, but in 2012, he's the numbers guy. He's trustworthy because he uses math against the GOP and their crap. We all know how they can and will rig the vote on their machines. We know of their suppression tactics, which has seemed to work against them by people standing in massive long lines and wait times to vote and tell those rich, white plutocrats that they don't own America, and their right to vote is their right to participate in the democratic process to elect representatives. It seems they over shot their hand...

No longer are these asshats who believe they are more important and entitled to own the Govt able to hide. We can see them, we can network, and by our own free will, we can vote. They awoke a sleeping giant of American apathy to "it doesn't matter who's in office meme." The hypocrisy is blatant and in our face. Their vision of white, rich Amerikkka isn't the way we wish to see it. I only hope people stay awake, demand accountability from their reps, and come out each and very election (especially the primary elections where we choose who is on the ballot for a general election).

Raise a glass to democracy and the eternal struggle to continue to perfect this Union of States as a beacon of light into the world that leads the way into creating equality, justice, and the pursuit of happiness.

We must continue to push for the America we want to live in and a country that is in this world; not overwhelming this world with Imperial dictating. That's my hope and prayer if it will.... That we do not turn back, that we move Forward, that we create and better country and world that we can proudly leave better than we first entered into... And may those who do the evil things to keep humanity subdued around the world feel the effects of their evil 10 fold visited upon themselves... And I believe losing power and the ability to manipulate is the way to go.
