US Election Night 2012 [BBC1, 11:35pm]
 
Quote:
As American citizens wait to learn which presidential candidate - either incumbent Barack Obama or his Republican opponent Mitt Romney - will occupy the Oval Office for the next four years, David Dimbleby reports on proceedings in Washington, DC, with Emily Maitlis showing every result as it comes in. Katty Kay heads a panel of experts to provide the latest analysis, and Jeremy Vine speculates on how the outcome will affect the US. BBC correspondents report back from the crucial battleground states to find out why people voted as they did, and there are immediate reactions from the Democrat and Republican camps.
Chat thread for tonight's proceedings if anyone's planning to stay up. You can discuss other channel's offerings if you wish but quite clearly the BBC's will be as per usual far and away the best. I have limited knowledge of American politics but I'll be watching as much as I can.

Looking forward to some Jeremy Vine graphics and Dimblebot action.

I hope Obama wins, but it's not looking good at the moment. :bawling:

The vote is today, polls close tonight and results filter in throughout the night/early morning (whatever you want to call it).

I believe it's different in the US in the sense that different state's polls close at different times.

Might merge this with the thread in Serious Debates, better to keep all election talk in one place I think and people will want to talk about the result as a whole for a while after, not just the BBC coverage of it

"Dimblebot action."


Will he Die on Air?


SkyNewsHD is far better

Vanessa 06-11-2012 02:56 PM
Come on, Obama! :cheer:

Black Dagger 06-11-2012 02:56 PM
If I wake up to 'MITT ROMNEY IS PRESIDENT' I'd probably want to top myself.

MTVN 06-11-2012 02:57 PM
They've already had the result in a couple of tiny places, Obama and Romney tied 5-5 in the first official result :laugh: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20217530

Not in this scenario thanks Arista. Romney is a bellend and should send his bigoted views back to the dark ages. :idc:

Iceman 06-11-2012 03:15 PM
jay-Z said it best yesterday at the Obama rally.

"If your having world problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems and Mitt aint one"

Raph 06-11-2012 03:43 PM
