election experiment

I know the tide turns...and sometimes it goes back and forth several times before we know the winner. I thought it might be interesting to watch how it goes. I will update occasionally.

At 4:04 pacific time (according to FOX):
Obama   72,538   with   3 electorial votes
Romney  124,190           0

ack in the 2 minutes since I've typed this one site now gives 3 for Obama and 19 for Romney (FOX) and another gives 3 for Obama and 8 for Romney (according to Politico) ...things change fast.

maybe that would be fun to do, too...track the different news agencies and see how they differ in awarding states electorial votes to the candidates...but I don't have time for that.

(that was over so quickly...remember the days of not knowing until the middle of the night or the next day who had won?)

Can't say I'm surprised, but I am sad. I would have liked to have seen Montana.

But, you know, when Clinton was elected for a second term, I felt as if the world was ending...and it didn't. And when Bush won a second term, I had some friends who felt as if the world was ending...and it didn't. So, although I think this is a worse situation than previously known, I think we will survive. Here's to relying on the Lord and seeking His Spirit to help us and guide us.
