With the U.S. elections taking place tomorrow I was surprised to see that there was no thread on the topic.

Any predictions or comments?

I'm going contrary to my feelings...Mitt by 5%

Either way, Democrooks and Rebloodlicans!

There have been a few comments posted on an old Barack Obama thread from the 2008 election.

I am reading alternatively that it's going to be close or that Romney will win easily, but this could be a case of confirmation bias since I would prefer Romney to win

I'll be glad when it's over. Lot's of coverage on Oz TV, as if Australians care about it? They really should do elections like the rest of the world - 4-6 weeks campaign then back to business. The amount of money they spend on advertising etc is unethical & immoral, considering the state of the US.

Driven by spending from outside groups, the cost of the 2012 U.S. election will exceed $6 billion, $700 million more than four years ago, the Center for Responsive Politics estimated.
 

I heard this morning 6 bill was the cost of Romneys' campaign alone....

The bigots should rather spend those $Billions to relieve the plight of Sandy's victims.
Glad when it's over.

PS: As the running is so close, I'm afraid that, regardless who wins, the result will deepen the divide between the Haves and Have-nots in the US, by disappointing roughly half of the population for about 4 years.

Agree. There are about 40,000 whose homes are uninhabitable. In winter with another storm forecast.
Yet billions continue to be spent on grotesque electioneering.
 
Wall Street obviously thinks it will be a Romney victory.

 
Homer votes

If someone wouldn't mind keeping the tally up to date this morning, I'd be very grateful...
