The Grand Election Thread

[dps]

Suddenly, the Republicans are for immigration reform, opening the door for citizenship for all of those illegals they've been bashing for the past decade or so. Amazing how, when the numbers come out, the Republicans can be reasonable. Even Hannity is now saying that he's "evolved" on the subject.

My stance on immigration hasn't changed.

The drama if the election had hinged on that result, again...

Charles Darwin earns 4,000 write-in votes against creationist Ga. congressman

ATHENS, Ga. — Charles Darwin earned almost 4,000 write-in votes against a Georgia congressman who denounced evolution and other scientific theories as "lies straight from the pit of hell."

The symbolic votes in Athens-Clarke County were a small percentage of more than 209,000 votes won by Republican Rep. Paul Broun in his unopposed re-election Tuesday.

The Athens Banner-Herald reports that write-in totals weren't immediately available for the other 24 counties in his district.

Broun gave a speech to a church group on Sept. 27 lambasting evolution, embryology and the Big Bang theory. Critics urged voters to write in the 19th-century British naturalist who is considered the father of evolution.

What would happen if Mr. Darwin won?

Dig up his corpse and prop up in Congressional chair; will be more productive than half of Congress.

Ironic that Romney got no more than 47% of the presidential vote.   


With Florida now in, he got 3.2 million or 2.6% more than Romney:
Obama    61,785,331  50.5%
Romney  58,562,227   47.9%
Other        1,928,524   1.6%

Nancy Pelosi announced she's going to run again for her position.

I thought the position of Village Idiot of the House was given based on merit, not something you had to run for.

It's obviously a popularity contest;  look at Mitch McConnell, who the GOP would've fired 15 years ago for posting such losses in the Senate.

With Pelosi back and the changes in Obama's cabinet, the Democrats look to be putting a pretty shitty team together. Yay America.

But it worked so well in round 1!

We knew what we were getting: a second helping of shit sandwich.  But when there are only two shitty choices there is only one possible outcome.
