Will We Know Today?

[HankB]

. . . we now live in a society where we can't trust much of what is said or published. 

Tonkin Gulf Incident . . .

"I am not a crook . . . "

NBC supporting the Clinton AWB by running clips of machine guns being shot during their "reporting" . . .

"I did not have sex with that woman . . . "

CBS using forged documents from a dead man in an effort to affect a national election . . .

"I'll cut the deficit in half . . . "

And on and on and on, an endless stream of disinformation, half-truths, distortions, and blatant lies, with outright complicity on the part of the "watchdog" media . . .

Gee, why would anyone be cynical?

How long was it until the 2004 Election was certified?.....about a week after that....

New Hampshire is reports 28 votes for Obama, 14 for Romney and 1 for "Other". Well, I guess that wraps things up, nothing else to see here, everybody go home.

Well, I'm wrong about the time. At least it looks like I'm right about Virginia. I just don't understand how Virginia has come to its senses while Ohio and Pennsylvania have not.

florida is pissing me off. And romney needs that one.

the talking head just said that Romney's campaign got off message (deficit/economy) and I agree

[birdman]

Changing my vote, we won't know today.  Auto recount in Florida.

[RocketMan]

It's not looking good for Romney.  Not many uncalled states left that will go his way.

[Ron]

Looks like another four years of Obama.

I just don't see Romney running the table on Va, NC, Fl and Ohio

[Ben]

Seems like without FL, Romney is sunk.

[DittoHead]

Romney is sunk.

That was the consensus after the primaries, I don't believe it ever really changed. You don't beat a big government liberal with a big government "conservative".

BUT BUT BUT BUT WE NOMINATED ROMNEY BECAUSE HE WAS ELECTABLE!@

[RocketMan]

I wish I could change my vote to "Yes, we'll know today."  Romney is done.  Four more years of Obama.  I'm going to bed.

Ok, I was about to say that I'm not despairing.

Then I remembered SCOTUS. Then I remembered the deteriorating world situation.

Ok, still not despairing, but I am confronted by how monumental a task it will be to repair things once Obama is gone.

What bothers me the most is the Senate, though. I think I will need to start some extensive study in medicine as we are about to be faced with a shortage of doctors as they retire early.

Any available texts our medical type people would suggest?

[longeyes]

So many experts were so damn wrong. A little hard to believe.  Morris.  Rove.  Will.  Barone. 

Makes you wonder.

But I never bought into the right-wing optimism.  At best we could've bought a few years.

The hope was we could block Obama with a Republican Senate. That is not going to happen apparently.

[brimic]

The bloviating talking heads make me want to vomit. They called my state for obama and a leftard senator after only 2% of districts were reported-based on polls.

[Perd Hapley]

Wow, these returns are looking dismal. I should feel vindicated. This is what I thought would happen with Romney, back during the nomination period. Looks like I was probably right back then. 

[MillCreek]

NBC is calling WA, OR and CA for President Obama.  Polls just closed on the West Coast.

[Perd Hapley]

Stunning!


Interestingly, Real Clear Politics put WA in the Obama column with 0% reporting. Now that they 14% reporting, Romney is slightly ahead. But it's still in O's column. Hmmm.

[Ben]

Even Fox News has called Ohio for Obama. Obama will also get Colorado and Washington, and likely Nevada. Romney seems to only have Virginia and probably Alaska going his way right now, which would mean Florida wouldn't even matter.

[makattak]

Fox just called it for Obama. I'm extremely surprised. I've never been so sure of an election (admittedly, I've only been aware for six presidential elections, though.)

So far, my only hope is to go to bed as I did in 2004 thinking the Democrat won and wake up to the returns changing.

[Perd Hapley]

You were right to be confident, mak. An Obama win makes no sense. 8% unemployment. No hope anywhere in sight. Benghazi. And they want this bumbling mediocrity to lead them?  

So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”

Numbers 14.4

[ArfinGreebly]

Wow.

I hope those people who voted "anybody but Romney" can live with their choice.

I wonder what the vote splits were, not that it matters, where non-D, non-R candidates took a percentage.  Not that it matters.

I might be wrong.  Obama might be good for business.  I don't hold out much hope.

Assuming we hold out until 2016, it will be interesting to see the country's mood.  If the misery index climbs, I don't see how another Dem candidate has a chance.  Question becomes whether we can field a viable conservative candidate.  And that might well depend on the misery index.

Looks like I got this one wrong.  More wrong than I could have imagined.

Time to hunker down and weather the storm.

I just told my 9 month old as I put him back to sleep: We will have a lot of work to do, but this country made it through a Great Depression and a World War.

I fear we will have to do that again, now. But we can and MUST.

[Fitz]

Well that didn't take long


This loss is the GOPs fault. Not people who voted their principles

Since it didn't matter anyway, I wish I would have voted Gary Johnson

Instead, I wasted a vote on a RINO who should have easily won this election but couldn't, nominated by a spineless party

I will never... Never vote republican again

[brimic]

I hope those people who voted "anybody but Romney" can live with their choice.

If you are going to assign blame to anyone, lay it at the feet of those who voted for more socialism, or even better, for those who thought 'socialist lite' was a good idea during the primary.
