The election is not a TV show to be watched all night like a sporting event. What fun is that?!"<br /><br />Not necessarily. There was no exit polling for this referendum because the nature of the vote made it difficult to develop models for exit polling. Even so, I've been in the U.K. on election night, and while the reporting isn't exactly like the U.S. version, there is still some sport to it. I remember watching the cameras follow the car with the first batch of ballot boxes (O.J. style) to the counting location where they ran (O.J. in a Hertz commercial style) into the building and began the count by hand. I'm amazed how quickly they get the votes counted considering they still use paper ballots.SweatBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927036039026338550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91007672921646015152016-06-24T07:58:12.240-05:002016-06-24T07:58:12.240-05:00Thank you President Obama!

If you went in with your eyes open, why are you choosing to leave? <br /><br />You are leaving because you went in with one eye shut and the other glazed over and discovered you were snookered.

Not sure..."Tell that to Coke and Pepsi."<br /><br />Not sure what you mean by this.<br /><br />"Why would we encourage the creation and formation of a new great power rival right before our eyes?"<br /><br />Real Politic aside, I don't think it would be that much competition since as it stands we are already "partners" militarily. Economically is another matter. But I guess that's what treatys are for.<br /><br />I do think an independent Scotland would be a huge economic drag for the EU and a sigh of relief for Britain.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938263272237104128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-88562593553986011292016-06-24T04:54:41.335-05:002016-06-24T04:54:41.335-05:00Not a good day for Obama.

It's quite a contrast with Obama telling the Brits that they will be at “back of the queue,” and Trump is quoted as saying <br /> “I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons like having a lot less bureaucracy. … But I am not a British citizen. This is just my opinion.”<br />I like Trump's position better, A LOT better. He gives his opinion in a respectful way whereas Barry threatens them in the Chicago way.<br />james conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971699491507200973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-6691134036912562342016-06-24T02:34:06.484-05:002016-06-24T02:34:06.484-05:00Let Freedom Ring!

Then they stop voting.
