I couldn't say it better.
I really think this means that the Democrats and the unions stole the election, with the abetment of the national media.
Aren’t there laws in MN against that sort of expectations?
Apparently these individuals are either government employees or standing in line to get on the public payroll.
But the upside is... they're happy anyway, because the "evil rich" people who earn more than $250K will take it in the shorts, making it "fair."
It was posted here on the FR right after election day.... to find it means someone has to go searching,,,, but its here.
Here is one thread although there seems to be some doubt on the 140% turnout one, but it list many other high turnout areas.

There are businesses and there are "businesses," there are conservatives and there are "conservatives," there are Republicans and there are "Republicans"...
e.g., from Republicans Stabbed by Business Roundtable - B, by Jim McTague, 2012 December 15
..... Higher rates, the GOP asserts, would slow the economy. The Business Roundtable was a rock-solid endorser of this view until Dec. 5, when it invited the president to address about 100 of its members to make his case for increasing Uncle Sam's paycheck take. The press was booted from the assembly hall when it came time for the CEOs to ask questions of the president. Apparently, he said something they liked. The following week, they endorsed his call for higher personal income taxes on those making $250,000 or more a year. The Business Roundtable, I deduce, had made up its mind before Obama stepped onto its stage. The very act of inviting him to give a televised speech without public rebuttal symbolically told the world that the organization had jumped ship. ..... < snip > ..... I also surmise that the Republicans remain mum because Big Money controls politics. Rare is the bird who can run for office without corporate sponsorship. ..... < snip > ..... Engler's tax-cutting made him a GOP superstar. So, his turning turncoat must have been especially galling to Boehner, McConnell, and many other Republicans. ..... < snip > < snip > ..... The Mordred, or betrayer, is one of the GOP's own sons, former three-term Michigan Governor John Engler, who presides over the über-powerful Business Roundtable, a lobbying organization bankrolled by the nation's corporate giants. This is a delicious tale of intrigue and double crosses that demonstrates how Obama has outwitted the Republican leadership. As Boehner and McConnell have been parrying his skilled thrusts, their supposed allies at the Business Roundtable have critically wounded them from behind. The motive: self-interest. Obama offered to lower corporate-tax rates if the BRT supported his plan for personal income-tax hikes on the wealthy. This development demonstrates the wisdom of the classic quip: If you want a friend in Washington, D.C., get a dog. ..... < snip >
How do you like them apples?
BTW, for the record, it's a well established fact that dogs are man's best friends, and not just in D.C.
They voted for Obama - they have no right to b*tch and complain about America being on the “wrong track.”
Its too late for buyers’ remorse.
Obama’s Communist Method.
Obama stole the election....but to no avail in his favor. He is a lame duck from the gitgo!!! And.....Michelle Obama not attending his visit to Connecticut shows what cold hearted,low life, they both are. This guy....no matter he is POTUS, is going nowhere!!! I guess the call of Hawaii was much more important then the slaughter of innocent children and adults. I am not judging those two, but....the Lord in heaven will send them where they rightfully belong!!! And.....it won’t be with the slain innocents in heaven!!! Go figure!!! Sad times for America!!!
wow. Romney was an exceptionally poor candidate, but I didn’t think he was worse than Bob Dole & McCain might have been skunked if not for Sarah Palin.
Having said that, if anyone here actually believes that 0bama won the last election, I have some beach front property in West Texas I’ll sell ya real cheap.
Carp, maybe we *do* need to legalize pot. This country is *depressed* & needs a laugh, bad.
It takes a special kind of stupid to stick your hand in a running fan, do it again and then complain because your hand got cut off.
Voting fraud is my answer.”
You didnt notice the large number of conservative malcontents not even bothering to vote or support the Rs?
You didnt notice the massive media malpractice of liberal bias that turned Obama’s failures into Republicans fault?
You didnt see the startling exit poll that showed more people blamed BUSH than Obama for our current economic malaise? (After 4 years?!? And Obama’s stimulus was passed in 2009 and was supposed to be the cure-all?!? WTF!?!)
You didnt notice Romney’s campaign incompetence of failing to defend his character against Obama’s lies (’he killed my wife!’), attack obama’s incompetence at home or abroad or tie the horrible Obamacare bill to our economic misery?
Not to mention the ground game screwup, the Akin/Mourdock foot-in-mouth errors, debates run by Obama cheerleaders, and the intervention of Hurricane Sandy and Gov Christie hugging pres O. ...
And the #1 Reason: MILLIONS MORE DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT THAN EVER BEFORE JUST VOTED FOR “MORE OF THE SAME” AND AGAINST A GUY WHO CALLED 47% OF US MOOCHERS (um, never mind that it was mainly true, how do you ever get votes by insulting the voters...)
I mean seriously, Romney had a great Debate #1 but was otherwise only a bit better than the two worst candidates we ran in recent decades (McCain and Dole) - while Obama, horrible President, managed to ramp up the votes from the moocher class with the best data-based ground game of any campaign.
No fraud - it was worse than that. We actually had voters dumb enough to vote for this.
They were there. Their votes were just disappeared.
Just ran across this. Very thoughtful....how Obama could have cheated his way into the White House for the second time.

Well, in a sense, Obama didn't "win" it - this was the election for Republicans to lose, and the "electable" "successful manager" Mitt Romney managed to lose it in spectacular fashion (e.g., struggling to win NC, when it shouldn't have even been considered a "battleground" / "swing" state and was easily swept by GOP, is just one case).
But if anyone there actually believes that Obama has any kind of "mandate" coming from this election, they didn't read the numbers in the poll.
On the wrong track? Yes, and we’ve been on it long enough to run up a 16 trillion dollar debt that will increase to 20 during BO’s second term.
A debt of that size is not an abstract thing, not simply a bookkeeping entry. It is an awful reality that will bleed us for years to come.
They were there, they just couldn't compete with the Chicago machine.
