Romney winning 51% to 48% in popular vote as I type ...

EXPECT the MSM to Re-discover “How great the Electoral College” is.....

Especially after them thinking how horrible it was after 2000....

Obama will preside over another recession, a severe one, with double digit unemployment, $5 + gas, increasing inflation and earth shaking incidents abroad and probably a major terror attack at home. I’m not wishing for any of these just to make Obama’s second term miserable for him, I just see these as the inevitable results of his policies continuing.

Exactly.

If Obama marches to 270 but loses the popular vote, he would face the unpleasant prospect of spending four years as a president with little power.

Obviously, he does not care about this.

He has discovered the Executive Order, therefore there are no bounds. Ye Ole Executive Order seems to circumvent all constitutional benefits of a three part government.

Obama could have won this by one electoral vote and not won the total vote, and he wouldn't care one iota. He (or should I say Valerie Jarrett) will move full steam ahead with their plans knowing full well their lapdog media will cover for them.

Well... I keep on hearing about how invincible he is with the media... well, why not consider the media as his agents and treat them accordingly? Why not picket them as the government is picketed? March on their studios and offices? They are political players now, they should pay the price of taking sides.

I completely agree.

By the way, the most recent Drudge headline has Obama winning the popular vote as well.

I said what I meant.

A slight majority did not vote for a President of a free people. They voted for four years of one man arbitrary rule. As understood by our Founders, when our reps do not make the law, we are reduced to the status of slaves.
