The Grand Election Thread

Obama just pulled ahead slightly in the popular vote.

I've been laughing as that seems to be the straw Fox News were clutching at.

I'm re-posting this here, because this is where the action is.

So marijuana legalization passed in Washington, and it looks like we're going to elect a mouth-breathing Democrat governor over a Republican who got the endorsement of every newspaper in the state. An initiative requiring a 2/3 vote in the legislature to raise taxes will also pass. 

On the upside, we're going to legalize gay marriage.

Heh, maybe Trump is at this very moment turning around his minutemen on the New Jersey turnpike*.



* i have no idea if this road exists and if it does, if it's anywhere near DC.

Their new line is he's been a 'small' President for the last two years and that'll continue.

Karl Rove is now saying a President needs to be 'first' to compromise and make sure they're very careful with their language

They have been talking all night about Obama "moving to the middle" and compromising like he is the outlier, not the crazy as fuck, rapist apologists.

Yes, it does, and no, it doesn't.  He'd be marching his minutemen across the AC Expressway and then he'd be marching them for a while down I-95.

1st openly gay Senator as well tonight it seems.

Krauthammer also repeating the line that Romney wasn't a 'natural' conservative, even though he run the best campaign he could given that he 'spoke conservatism as a second language'

Hearing Virginia is now being called for Obama too, where is that straightjacket for seedy?

The rats are jump off the sinking ship. They have to find excuses now.

Could I get a consice, written for a 12 year old explanation of what the conservatives' hard-on about Libya is about?  I don't get it, but I've been trying not to follow the news recently.

It is just hilarious if they really believe they would have had a better chance with Santorum or Newt as the candidate.

[Jaron]

Haha, the locals here are wondering how their fasts they held for Mitt on Sunday didn't get results.

[Sheilbh]

I don't get the thing about Libya either.  I asked about it on here and I still don't understand what the criticism is.

It is just hilarious if they really believe they would have had a better chance with Santorum or Newt as the candidate.

In fairness they seem to think Romney was the best choice but that he was, as Krauthammer put it, 'a North-Eastern liberal...I mean moderate.'

Edit:  A Brit journo's just pointed out how red-eyed Mitt looks.  Crying or dog tired.  After 6 years of running for President this must be an agonising speech to give
