The polls are open on the east coast!!
From this morning's election day prayer thread:
"Heavenly Father may you forgive this nation and its people for the many awful sins that we have commited against you. We do not deserve the wonderful ways we have been blessed and please forgive us for our indifference,neglect and complacency towards you. May you forgive us who are members of your Church who have neglected our calling and commitment to you to be effective witnesses and stewards of the many blessings you have generously bestowed upon us. Many of us have cried out to you for the past few years as never before and we humbly beseech you to bring an overwhelming, crushing defeat on the forces of darkness in our nation. First we pray that you quicken your Church by your spirit and lead us to unity to stand against the onslaught of darkness upon us. May you smash every crooked deed as evil men and women try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this. Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to our people who do not know you and to the nations of the world.
May you block and undo every policy and piece of legislation they have passed that is harmful to this nation. May you make every policy they make fail and may you turn the hearts of the multitudes against them. May you thwart every evil deed they try to divide this nation with. May you bring their own mischief upon them ten fold. May you punish those in our government who are lawless traitors and enemies of the Constitution by exposing them and deliver them into our hands for justice. However we also pray that through this that you open their eyes to the truth and in your mercy that you bring these people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to serve as a witness to many. May you also use this to bring revival across our nation and a restoration of a culture that glorifies You. We also pray for those just leaders in our government who are struggling against the lawless. We pray for your protection and that you embolden them to do what is right to triumph in the election and in the arena of ideas. May you also continue to open the hearts and minds of the American people to the the truth and draw them towards yourself to be renewed in repentance and spiritual rebirth.
And this we humbly ask in Jesus name. AMEN!"
I think Romney has been a great candidate.
Turn out so high in Iowa that some counties are running out of ballots.
Even CNN hasn’t called Wisconsin. I’m not sure why Fox called it so soon.
Thanks a lot big fat mouth Chris Christie! I’m blaming him for a lot of this!
Wow! That’s so nice. I’m saving this lucky post for posterity.
Note to Blue State Liberals: Stay the Hell outa Texas!
That’s national totals, not state.
“The EU would like to welcome America into the Eurozone.”
Yes.
As Megyn Kelly said a couple of hours ago: Don’t forget they called the race for Kerry a few years back.
I’m praying for a miracle.
ABC calls it for NH.
Texas has jobs - needs workers.
Oh come now. Romney was the weakest candidate we could field.
A better candidate, and you win.
Cambria County is going red.
We’re screwed.
Praying for a miracle here, too.
Lemme guess.
Counties that are adjacent to the Illinois border?
Calls it for Obama in NH, that is.
The truth is the GOP is one state short STRUCTURALLY.
Even if Romney wins Ohio, he still has to win CO or Iowa.
The problem is, going forward, EVEN IF ROMNEY WINS TONIGHT...if the GOP can’t make WI work even with wins like Walker, and can’t make Ohio work (still to be seen) with Kasich winning....and the demographics changes taking away VA and Fl. 2016, 2020 look rough too.
More people vote in Presidential years, and those voters look to be more liberal. So we may be in for an Off year/ On year toggle switch for the next decade.
I also forsee a possible GOP shift Center, Dem shift left and possible a new 3rd conservative party with a base in the South and West. It will be decades, but eventually we will mirror Europe and have 3 parties of some sort...even if the 3rd doesn’t hold national office for a long time.
The problem is, like it or not, we are following European trends...just many years behind.
