that he understands us and will help people who are foreclosed on,

And that is the problem. Americans now vote based on what they perceive they will get, not on what is best for the nation. It is all self-absorption, short-term gratification and, yes, at the risk of sounding elitist, laziness and lack of attention.

So where does that leave those of us who work 60+ hours a week, pay our bills and live within our means? Yeah, like I don't know the answer.

I hate the way they do elections now, it makes me feel like my vote is worthless. Like I am doomed to vote like those in other counties because they figured it that way.

Facts off the top of my head so they may not be 100% accurate but I remember 1994, Bernard Shaw was reading “projected results” and he said “Cuomo, no surprise there - wait a minute!” Pataki said he knew all along that his support was upstate.

Isn’t that possible guys? That every county is not 100% predictable?

So do you think that the Bush Administration should pop all the O’s off the keyboards on the way out?

I think that Obama urged them to vote early and the coal
mine union wanted him until they found out on Sunday that
O wanted to bankrupt the companies. It was to late for
the fools that voted early for O without knowing this.

My husband and I feel the same way. He said he is going to get shirts made with the flag upside down. We feel that this country will be in great danger and turmoil now. The American dream died tonight for a lot of Americans.

Looking at the running account of Fla. with Boma & Mac being so close, the children who voted for the third party wack jobs, switch that over to McCain and he is ahead.
You can also include the fools who sat at home.

Palin would be a disaster in 2012. I think highly of her, but let’s face it: she is the face of the old GOP. The party will have to accept that the country has moved left and either move left with it or stay in the electoral wilderness.

Geez you Mitt haters can’t let it go can you. You got what you wanted, you got your candidate, don’t blame us. Unlike what you would have done had the roles been reversed I have worked for Palin/McCain and given them money. We chose our worst candidate and got what we many of us suspected. Enjoy the next four years.
