Let the Games Begin! Election 2012 Updates!

Well, it all comes down to this. After a seemingly 2 year long election and a candidate that has been running since 2006, officially, this election has gone on forever. The fate of so much in this country is on the line. Will Obama triumph? Or will Mitt Romney upset? I honestly can’t wait for it to be over, though I will wait longer if it means an Obama victory.

 

With Nate Silver’s 92% prediction that Obama will win, I feel pretty good about today. It may be a nail bitter or it could be a blow out for Obama, though it will likely not be a blow out for Romney, the math just isn’t there.

So far, things look pretty good. I’m hearing reports that turnout is very high in the cities and African-American areas report long lines (though we don’t know for sure that this isn’t because of the wide-spread Republican cheating that is being reported), Latino voting is being projected to be much higher than 2008 and that bodes poorly for Mitt.

Keep your eyes on our Facebook page and Twitter feeds for live comments throughout tonight. I will be responding to the events as they happen!

About Joshua Johnson

For 8 years, Soapblox.com has functioned as the political blog for up and coming writer, Joshua Johnson. While he writes many different styles of writing ranging from science fiction to social commentary, his true love lies in politics and history. With a degree in History from CSUN, his love of history shines through in his perspective. Josh’s articles are focused heavily on telling the truth and cutting through the subjective and relative nature that is prevailing these days. Hailing from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, Josh has had a decidedly middle-class upbringing, which has translated into a deeply rooted love of the Progressive movement of the early 20th Century. A self-described “progressive” Josh’s political views are quite mixed though lean left of center.
