The MSM will be ‘massaging’ themselves over the results of last Tuesday for quite some time, I’m afraid.
I have to say, I am usually not surprised by things that happen and I was surprised.
Romney:
“But . . . it was my turn! I was the annointed one! Just look at my hair and you’ll see what I mean. . . .
“What happened?”
I feel so bad for him. He gave it his best shot, saying it was in God’s hands.
WE'VE GOT TO HIT THE PHONES HARDER THIS YEAR!!! CONGRESS: (202) 224-3121
My soon to be famous quote on this election: “Why expect honest results with dishonest players?”
I was wrong.
I was shellshocked also. absolutely could not beleive the loss. but after hearing about all the stuff the Democrats on election day it’s no wonder.
Amazing if true. The numbers showing Obama was going to win were there for weeks. RCP polls showed it. Nate Silver was showing it. Even our own Freeper jackmercer showed the polls were going Obama’s way for weeks. You can read jackmercer’s stuff right here on FR. Jack’s just some guy doing this at home & he knew more than Romney’s team, wow.
My husband and I were also shell shocked. We totally believed Romney would win based on the rallies, the reports of independents going to Romney and increased Republican voter registration, the bad economy, the debates, etc etc.
I wish I had known better because this let down was huge.
Mitt was shellacked by the presumptive shellackee.
I would like to know, with all the news reports of so many people standing in lines for hours to vote, how the vote totals are so far below 08’s?
I’m shellshocked too. I think voters believed Romney’s argument that the economy was awful, jobs would not come back under Obama, and that national security has been weakened under the Kenyan but that just scared them and they voted for “free stuff” from Obama.
Given the length of election campaigns these days, that would have been 2 or more years ago.
No one else saw this coming either ....
Got to wonder about THAT, eh?
Even the “professionals” didn’t see it coming so what the hell does it mean?
I have an idea.....
I was looking at an article from pilotonline.com and was surprised to see that only Virginia Beach went for Romney among the Hampton Roads cities. Turnout for blacks was huge. Those folks waited in line for four hours in some cases to vote. I did not realize that the area was so liberal. I did not know the numbers were the same in 2008. I guess what shocks me the most is that black people who call themselves religious Christians could vote for a man who supports gay marriage.
I still believe there was massive fraud in key places.
As far as long lines go, our precinct had very long lines from the time it opened until after polls closed. It turns out that they had combined two precincts into one. But they had plenty of machines, so I think the turnout was high. We live in what I call Little Mexico though some of this side of town is heavy redneck and people who would rather pay less for land/house than those who want to live on the white side of town. The people in line with us were not voting for Obama. Yes, there were people talking about it the whole time we were in line. There was a lot of cynicism as well. People think their votes don’t matter but they show up anyway.
Well,well, Willard the Bland wonders why he lost. Simply put: he played it safe and lost. Like a prevent defense that never prevents the touchdown. Whatever you think of Newt, he would have told it like it was.
Please keep in mind that Mitt believes he will become God someday. You can understand his disappointment at rejection, which confirms he isn’t God.
So in other words, they were just like us?
At first, I got home from voting and turned on the tele, the first results looked good...IN flipped right away, O stuck with just the 3 votes from VT, initial votes from NC and VA looked good, but then...fricken FL just would not budge. I was following the FL results for over an hr, thinking at some point the numbers would go our way, and they just never did. The ground game there and in OH, just blew it.
