Romney now up by 20,000 in Ohio with 78% in
of course VA & FL still grim though
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
All that is left is one mega blue county and one very small red one. It is over.
No, not with Obama over 300 now, just got Nevada.
With approx 70 electoral possible votes, still leaves Romney short.
Why did you include Rush Limbaugh in that trio? He's been an unwavering voice for Constitutional Conservatism for decades and is poised to be be stronger than ever in the years ahead. He succinctly articulates the values at the core of the real America and helps to rally the base.
“I’m shocked by these results overall. The worst president in history and half the population still votes for him. Maybe things will change when the checks stop flowing.”
This is a fact about the state of our population that has depressed me for most of the last 4 years. Even if Mitt had won today this fact would still be true becase so much of the population is lible to embrase the concept of stealing from their brother to give themselfs unearned lucutury.
The truth is this attidue among a population is the tyrannical trade mark of the decline & self-destruction of a democracy.
Your right of course that such a policy cannot go on forever, but you must recognize that this behavioral will only end when there is no more money to take. That means there will be no truly free or productive people left in our land to rob from.
Furthermore that which remains of the population will by default be an increasingly desperate mob ultimately willing(in their mind perhaps forced) to surrender what little liberty they have left to anther carrasmatic tyrant promising to fix it all and “make the trains run on time” again.
We of course know where that ends. The same place the republic of Germany and the republic of Rome famously ended.
Such will inevitably be our fate of this democracy in time.
The only caveat is will we all be there to at the end, or will the still noble parts of us throw off the shackles of the now unconstitutionally lawless union ruled by an increasingly corrupt mob to start a new republic founded once more in liberty & Constitutionally finite government?
I say this is Civil War 2 but that is our only real long term option. Not to fight a 2nd civil war but to break the unlawful bonds that content us to this corruption, to flee from Sodom as it burns itself to the ground.
FL down to 39K separation.
I posted a thought and I think it bears repeating. What did people like us think when FDR kept getting re-elected?
We have been “Food Stampeded”
NONE
SO...for all these people...including me...who were holding high the D+8...the overwhelming voter turnout in R areas...
WE KNOW NOTHING!
SHerrod Brown found 40,000 ballots in his trunk?
I’m sorry - still at 49K...
“As I now see it, the GOP will go the way of the Whig party. And very deservedly so.”
Yup. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Shame on me.
It won’t happen a third time.
Too late, guys. Thanks to everyone who demanded purity of thought and deed, look where it got us.
Time to come up with someplace REAL safe to park what’s left of my IRA so I can afford to have at least a few months of retirement sometime before I turn 90.
They didn’t call it first....
Because they all three called it a landslide for Romney! They were all three dead wrong.
Here comes Obamacare. a government union employee elite class and far more destruction by following European styled socialism.
Put a fork in America, she has been killed IMO.
This was NOT just another election.
I also think Romney did the best he could and gave it his all despite what any think of him here.
Something is horribly wrong when a record of FAILURE is rewarded with even the slightest win. It defies logic that this wasn’t a landslide b-slap win for anyone running against Barry. Today’s results speaks volumes about what is wrong in our country.

That happened in 2000. 1876 was far worse!
“All that is left is one mega blue county and one very small red one.”
Pretty much. Although territory wise, the red one is bigger.
I'm just stunned beyond words.
Doesn’t matter. He still won by 3 Electoral Votes even without Ohio.
