Dems wanted to end the Electoral College. Romney wins popular vote it at least shows no mandate. Win was result of our quirky system. Four years of a lame duck President.
Fight on!
Coup
When CA WA OR report O will win popular vote too.
Obama spent $6 trillion of deficit in 4 short years to keep the peace in the country and buy himself an election
There is no way Obama can spend another $6 Trillion in the next 4 years
Half the country was going to be pissed off either way. The president has done nothing to reach out to our side so nothing has changed other then we can watch his policies be approved and smirk.
Going to be crazy if Romney wins the Pop Vote and Obama loses the EC after what both sides said in 2000.
I still think the EC is fair, but now that the shoes might be on the other foot, I bet a lot of people on both sides switch their arguments.
Though Obama might win it out of Cali, Wash and Oregon I guess.
One simple word: “Divorce”... We need to be thinking about this possibility. No marriage as bad as the American political situation would last ten seconds and everybody knows it.
Next stop: IMPEACHMENT!!!!
Not going to happen. Once California reports, 0 will take the popular vote. It looks like TIPP will be the most accurate.
Indeed!
Fight on!
But we should be planning now for 2016. The demographics are only going to get worse with full scale Federal welfare recruitment and the Obama illegal amnesty(s). I was unwilling to believe that half the nation are now committed to socialism (even if they don’t realize that’s what their positions represent). So what do we do to turn that around? How do we show our fellow Americans where their choices will lead in the end? And how do we convert a bare 51% majority into a working advantaqge?
Romney has the bragging rights but its no solace tonight.
He lost trying to appeal to liberals and when given a choice, liberals opted for the real deal - Obama.
We have no conservative movement in this country. Liberals are in the majority now.
Not that I disagree about his unwillingness to work with us. But, I would suggest the WE need to be able to discuss goals and manage our tactics to meet those goals. We have to start working together or we will most certainly fail as a nation. Everyone must be willing to move from their positions.
Bull puckey. He'll spend more than that. It's all part of the plan to cause hyperinflation, destroy the US, steal our lifetime savings, and pay the money to the moochers who re-elected him. Then, when interest rates eventually uptick, over half of US government tax collections will go to service the debt, the US will default, and his work will be done. It's all in the Grand Plan.
The social welfare state won’t be dismantled. Obamacare will become single payer before the decade is out.
America is now more like Canada than the country it used to be.
That country no longer exists.

The electoral vote process is not “quirky.” Without it, the largest cities in the nation would decide all elections. Think of a city like Chicago offsetting a good portion of the popular vote in other states. Right now, Chicago is capped. It can only influence Illinois’ electoral votes (and wipe out a great number of people in S. Illinois that want nothing to do with Chicago politics). What would happen if the Chicago margin of extra liberal votes offset Republican votes in red states? That’s what would happen if we went to a national popular vote! I think something like the ten most populous cities would have a lock on the entire country.
I guess you can look at this another way. When the country collapses in the next few years the democrats will never again get elected to anything.
If Romney wins the popular vote, can we take Obamacare back to the Supreme Court? Didn’t Roberts say he was leaving the decision to the people? If the majority of people didn’t vote for Obama, then the electoral college made the decision, not the people.
The United States, more so than ever before since the (First) Civil War, has become a legal fiction. We are really the Red States of America and the Blue States of America, with the Purple States in neither camp.
It is 7:00 pm here in Hawaii and the polls just closed at 6:00 pm. I fully expect that Obambi will win here in the People’s Republic of Hawaii.
