Well, early results should start coming in pretty soon and by the end of the night we miiiiight know who our next president is. Not to mention that there are numerous congressional seats up for grabs, and of course a lot of local positions as well. Thought we could use a kind of catch-all thread for discussion tonight. Facebook is already unbearable. Ugh. Also, for your entertainment: 2012 Election Drinking Game Take a drink if… The phrase “Swing states” is mentioned. Someone says, "It's going to be a long night" “Exit polls” are mentioned. “Early results” is mentioned. “Hurricane Sandy” is mentioned. “Record turnout” is mentioned. “Youth vote” is mentioned. “Latino vote” is mentioned. “Recession” is mentioned. The phrase “provisional ballots” is mentioned. The 2008 election is mentioned. A hologram appears on the screen. A candidate’s family members are shown on camera. Every time they cut to a reporter at Obama’s Chicago election party or Romney’s Boston party. Every time your candidate loses a state. Every time Anderson Cooper makes a bad joke Take a shot if… A third party candidate is mentioned. A former president or presidential candidate is mentioned. Marijuana is mentioned (looking at you, Colorado). “Big Bird” is mentioned. Your candidate wins. (If that candidate is Obama, drink “four more beers.” Get it?).
