So now that it's proven once again that moderates can't win, we're gonna have to deal with nominee Santorum?

It was also proven that the far-right candidate can't win. At least if they talk about rape.

It's not talking about rape that's the problem, it's the idiotic qualifying of rape that's the problem.

To be fair I think that's basic politics.  Whether you're left-wing or right-wing if you're running for office there's a few words you shouldn't ever say in the last 4 weeks of a campaign.  'Rape' is one of them.  'Hitler' is another.  Just avoid the subject.

What if you wish rape on Hitler?

My family is surprisingly quiet on FB. Only my nephew is happy he gets deployed to Guam and away from the government, and my brother in law says Obama's win is a victory of popularity over substance and that voters ignored his failings.

I expect a slew of "funny" graphics to be posted during the day, though.

Guam?  He does know the Territories are Federal Jurisdiction right?  Of course wherever he goes is Federal Jurisdiction.

Yeah, I figured he meant physical distance between him and DC.

[Barrister]

Bah.

It seems aside from the presidential race that Oregon has voted for legalising weed whilst Maine has legalised same sex marraige.
Smart move by the US to keep the gays and the drugs squarely on opposite sides of the country.

Not Oregon, but Colorado.  Oregon had a ballot measure to legalize pot but it failed.  Washington legalized pot and gays.
