Thankfully, I will be retiring in a few years and leaving the US as it will be a 3rd world hell hole run by charlatans and the streets filled with criminals and hoodlums.

I am a young M.D. and was hoping for a future in my profession in the United States. That just became impossible.

[paul544]

Because as John King pointed out the outstanding votes are from Cleveland and Columbus which will only add to Obama’s lead.

[Morpheus2009]

Yeah, and I wish him a good retirement. Again, it’s disappointing to me how Obama let that Ambassador die. Good news is, I plan to stick around.

Just this afternoon I had a generally good opinion of my fellow Americans, even the “idiots”.
No longer, everything has changed now. Now it’s everyone for themselves, I have no sympathy for them.

Long live Free Republic!

[NJBushcountry]

I don’t know why anybody would listen to Dick Morris or Rove. I’m so sick and tired of Sean Hannity listening to these two idiots!

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

I don’t believe these results. FEMALES + VOTER FRAUD = BLACK SOCIALIST FAG WINS

[Sarah Barracuda]

The real loser tonight was America..Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves..they made this great country and tonight it was destroyed..Socialism won and I am at a loss for words..all the BS about Romney looking so happy and only writing a Victory speech..the crap about how Obama was purchasing a mansion in Hawaii for 35 million it was ALL a bunch of lies

[socialism_stinX]

Romney is an excellent candidate and he did a great job in this campaign. There is just this strange Obama factor, his utter mediocrity and his phony fake friendliness, that appeals to millions of mediocre slobs in the swing states. He appeals to all the mediocre factory workers, public employee union members, and all the unemployed slobs on food stamps and housing subsidies. I truly believe that Romney was the strongest candidate to run against Obama, because he stood up to Obama's vicious smear campaign with great strength and dignity and never stopped fighting even as the onslaught of lies and distortions from the despicable Obama campaign continued for several months.

I honestly have no doubt that Santorum and Gingrich would have lose by much more than Romney, if in fact Romney ends up losing tonight. Santorum would have been smeared as a "hateful homophone", while Gingrich would have been smeared as a man who doesn't respect women, etc. Mitt Romney ran straight into Obama's vicious buzz-saw of smear and lies, and Obama's stupid coalition of the poorly educated, dumbed down, and mediocre middle class fell for Obama's con-man routine AGAIN...("fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." This election is looking like a shameful case of Obama's coalition of the dumbed-down liberals and mediocrity getting fooled AGAIN by Obama's phony BS. The people who voted for him will regret it severely in about six months as our economy begins to slide into another serious recession as taxes increase to pay for Obamacare and more handouts, while hiring by the private sector stops completely. I'm in my mid-50s, and honestly I don't even recognize America any more. It's not the country I grew up in. It's been taken over by this vicious coalition of mediocre democrats and the lying cheating MSM mafia that covers up every crime by democrat politicians--even posting a forged birth certificate on the White House website.

America may now be like an alcoholic who has to hit rock bottom to finally realize that alcoholism is a real problem for him. We as a nation may have to hit rock bottom to finally realize that liberalism and the MSM mafia is a real serious problem for America. That may happen as we slide into another deep recession early next year.

This older MD is looking for a way out. I feel for you. My daughter is still in pre med and may have time to change her mind

Just because Fox gives Ohio to Obama means nothing. Ohio isn’t Fox’s to give. This could still turn. So could Fl.

[presently no screen name]

EXACTLY!! This is too important for them not to wait until ALL votes are counted. They are mighty quick to call this.

[pjd]

Wait a minute! Didn’t California pass a law that their electoral votes would go to whoever won the national majority? That would change everything. I *think* it was California.

[Mom MD]

And I could wake up in the morning 50 pounds lighter and 30 years younger and ride my pet unicorn to work. But neither is likely to happen

[pjd]

You are wrong. It *did* happen. the Calilfornia House and Senate passed the national Popular Vote Bill, and Gov. Brown signed it. Those California votes belong to Romney. It was signed into law on Aug 8, 2011.

[Optimus Prime]

That sounds ludicrous on its face. Why in the world would they do that? All it’d do is hurt Democratic candidates.

[okie01]

Those California votes belong to Romney. It was signed into law on Aug 8, 2011.

And it is law in several other (liberal) states, as well.

However, within the law, it states that it does not become effective until states totalling a majority of Electoral Votes (i.e., at least 270) enact the same law.

In other words, California will not be casting its 55 EV for Mitt Romney in December.

[rainee]

But the new California law has a caveat.

The law goes into effect only when the bill is enacted by enough states to comprise a total of 270 electoral votes or more.

National Popular Vote legislation has been enacted by 9 states, which combined, represent nearly half of the 270 electoral votes needed for the law to go into effect.

The non-partisan National Popular Vote Bill is being considered in every state and has now been adopted by enough states to total 132 electoral votes:

CA 55 | DC 3 | HI 4 | IL 20 | MA 11 | MD 10 | NJ 14 | VT 3 | WA 12

[babygene]

Shouldn’t we wait till all the votes are counted before we concede?
