A week before the election, an FBI whistleblower went to a Republican member of Congress with explosive details about a national security scandal that could have stopped President Obama’s re-election campaign dead in its tracks.

Not likely. If Patraeus had resigned a week before the election, it is not likely it would have made a bit of difference.

We haven't even yet gotten details that seriously impact Obama himself. Those may still come out, assuming the government/media coverup doesn't hold.

I think you’re right. the Democrat ground game was not going to be overcome by any scandal. the people who voted for Obama were always going to vote for him, those republicans who stayed home were always going to stay home, as long as Romney was the candidate.

Have to agree with you there. Obama won this thing by using social media to microtarget the takers and promise them gubbermint goodies.

It might have made a difference if he hadn't went before congress and lied his @ss off.

Honorable and liar don't belong in the same sentence.

FBI is led by Holder. Holder is STILL not being held accountable by the media at large for Fast & Furious. Obama misused Executive Privilege to protect Holder on that one and NO outcry from Republicans in Washington about that misuse. Even in an interview with Hannity yesterday, Graham's "harsh words" were backed up with this little beauty, "Sean, I am 57. I can argue with President Obama on Friday and then work with him on Monday." I wish they would just declare allegiance to the Democrat Party and get out of the way, because they simply will not fight.
