I wasn't surprised by the POTUS outcome but I was surprised by:
- It not being as close as I thought it was be. I thought Obama would win Ohio but probably not Virgina or Florida (at the time of this posting Florida is still not official but leans Obama). I didn't expect him to win Colorado.
- Allen West being defeated
- The East Coast states of Virginia and Florida being the LAST to be declared when they should have been the first due to time zone.
- Voters in South Florida still in line waiting to vote at 11pm.
- Mitt Romney not conceding until 1am and thus the President not being able to give his victory speech until 2am when everybody knew who won by 11 something-PM.
- Fox Broadcast Network and Fox News Channel being relatively impartial in their coverage.
- Fox Broadcast Network and Fox News Channel offering separate programming.
- MSNBC offering IMHO superior coverage than the NBC Broadcast Network (not in terms of commentary slant but overall quality of presentation).
- The downgrading of the video enhancements, animated graphics and special effects on all the networks compared to 2008 and 2004.
Sorry for the typo in the thread title.
