Obama wins Fla., topping Romney in final tally

It would be sane if the republican in congress fully recognized the public's desire for issues in WA to be addressed in a bi-partisan fashion and allow efforts to move forward.... although, having watched their behavior in the past, this may be too much to expect. It'll be interesting to see how congress fairs the next time there is an opportunity to turn over and turn out sitting members.

The BEST thing ever, is that there is a collection of quotes going around the internet, of the Republicans right before the election, predicting that Romney would win in a "Landslide" of 302 Electoral Votes" and saying that when Romney won with more than 300 ECs it would be a "decisive win" a "MANDATE!!!" and a "LANDSLIDE!!!"   Of course, now that the President won by 3million+ votes, and over 100 ECs, suddenly it's not a landslide, nor a mandate.  The "momentum and surge" by Romney was never real.  It was something pushed by Fox "news," period.  They simply underestimated, whether on purpose or not, the motivation of the Pro-Obama voters. They created a narrative on Fox that we were disappointed in Obama, but it wasn't true.   

 

If you're a Republican you have to ask yourself this: If your Party has to have republican governors purging mainly democrats off of voting lists, and your Elections people make sure that the Democratic precincts have one voting machine for thousands of people, while the republican precincts have tons and no lines, if you have to have your donors put up billboards threatening voters with prison, for fraud (when there have been less than 100 actual voter fraud cases in 10 years,) if you have to rely on the Supreme Court to allow the Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove's Crossroads, and the US Chamber, to spend a billion (really) on Super Pac money (outspending by 80% in outside money) to LOSE....    Don't you think it's time to CHANGE your party? Don't you think that maybe the old way of doing things with guys like Beck and Limbaugh trying to whip up fake outrage and lies to motivate the republican voters to do the bidding for the billionaires, is outdated?   At what point do you realize that if the GOP doesn't stop herding people to the polls, instead of inspiring them with ACTION while actually elected, they will never win again unless they can keep everyone else from voting??  Think about it. WHAT have your republican reps done while elected, that actually made people want to vote for them? Nothing.  They spend all their time and your money trying to destroy the Democrats who were elected.  The GOP needs to start producing or they will be left in the dust. AGAIN.   You know you're in trouble when your Candidate says that "our campaign doesn't rely on fact checkers"  That was your first mistake. John Hunstman or someone normal like that, would have probably won or gotten very very close. But you let the tiny Tea Party (which is bought and paid for and created by the John Bircher Babies, Koch Brothers,) co-opt your message and taint the GOP.   You let crazy people like Glen Beck, be your mouthpieces.   The normal conservatives need to take the party back or start a new one, because you'll never win again like that. The demographics of America's voters has changed, and you can't stuff us back into the shadows. 

Democracy will cease to exist when you take from those that are willing to work, and give to those who would not.

You gotta hand it to Nate Silver @ 538 Blog.  He accurately predicted the winner of all 50 states.  What does that make his 4th or 5th election that he has absolutely nailed?

Congrats to our U.S. President,his party and the country !!!!

All them illegals wanting to cash in on the welfare!!

mitt couldn't even win florida.

 

consider this election a warning to you republicans if you don't start putting people first and your stupid agendas after you will continue to lose seats in the house and congress as well you will be watching the changes happen from the outside in .

 

You want to recover from this economic nightmare start out by taking care of the middle class.  They are the ones who buy the goods which keep the jobs and the economy going.

 

Upward movement of money to the richest is the worst thing we can do.  They don't create jobs they simply reinvest it into themselves which does nothing for the economy except make THEM richer while the rest of the citizens suffer because we now have no revenue to pay our government to keep fighting the wars which the republicans love so much because it helps out their investments.

 

The other 47 percent spoke to you on Tuesday.  The question is did you listen or better yet hear what they said.

 

Time will tell.
