So these guys were saying exactly what most of you were saying here and now they are schmucks?? Why don’t you go back and find the predictions thread. 90%+ on here thought it was going to be a big night.
This place became a fantasyland echo chamber and people like Morris, Barone, etc, fed into it. The polls always pointed to a Obama win. The state level polls were clear as a bell, Hussein was poised to win a narrow victory. The vast majority of the election commentators/analysts were calling for a narrow Obama victory - including Cook, Sabato, Silver, etc. Meanwhile here on FR people were mindlessly yammering about "unskewing" polls when it was clear they had no idea what they were talking about.
It's really time for folks to face reality. There is not a silent majority in this country any longer for the old traditional American values. We are well along the way to becoming a European welfare state. We probably cross the tipping point during Obama's first term with all the new people dependent on government.
