    What's not getting a lot of attention right now is the senate race. According to polls it's really a toss up or slightly favoring democrats. If Clinton wins and dem take back the senate, that means they can confirm another Supreme Court justice which would tilt the power in the Supreme Court over to liberals which is huge! Going to be a great day when Citizens United gets overturned (:

    ok... @Swizz
    what's your map look like?
    heres my best case: http://www.270towin.com/maps/8zzw3 (zesty)
    here's a more conservative prediction: http://www.270towin.com/maps/B1BJ1

    Anyone else calling over/unders now?

    we can never know what order they'll come in, granted, but im predicting it's all over if she gets NC early. (there are some that are always early or late but idk.. but if i see that she has won NV....she will).... NC and NH I think I'll feel like it's going to go well)

    then, well, of f---ing course, there's Florida...there will always be f---ing florida lol

    thats dope. i want to get back into running halfs. did the detroit one a few yrs back

    "All states, except for Maine and Nebraska, have chosen electors on a "winner-take-all" basis since the 1880s.[5] Under winner-take-all, a state has all of its electors pledged to the presidential candidate who wins the most votes in that state. Maine and Nebraska use the "congressional district method", selecting one elector within each congressional district by popular vote and selecting the remaining two electors by a statewide popular vote.[6] Although no elector is required by federal law to honor a pledge, there have been very few occasions when an elector voted contrary to a pledge.[7"

    i don't understand the electoral college system
    surely it would make more sense to just have 1 vote = 1 vote and just tally the overall numbers? why don't they do it that way?

    I didn't train rly at all, so I ran it in 2:12. It's an international race though - half in Detroit, other half in Windsor. Pretty neato! Where else have you run?
