    The debt increasing by 50% is not the change i envisioned. What is there pointing to a change in his spending habits the next four years? I'm just not optimistic.

    Dick Nixon was nominated again after losing in 1960, and won... twice. I know. I voted against Tricky Dick.

    Very possible that both Allen West and Michele Bachmann, two of the craziest of the crazies, looniest of the loons, lose their House seats tonight. Bachmann is narrowly winning with about 57% of the vote in. West is narrowly losing with 97% of the vote in.

    Well, that was the last American election folks. You guys better be prepared for whats coming. This "great" president you voted in is going to show you who he really is and destroy this country.

    Get your guns ready, they will be by soon to collect them

    Anyone struck by how different the two election party rooms look like? Romney's in Boston: mostly white people in suits and cocktail dresses vs. Obama's in Chicago: people of color sprinkled with white wearing t-shirts, low-slung jeans, blazers, and hoodies.

    Don't think it's been mentioned yet but Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin has become first openly gay Senator in the history of this country.

    Wow. Obama is sweeping the table. Indiana is the only Romney pickup I see from 2008. My respect for Nate Silver just keeps going up. He predicted pretty much all of this. Obama will end up with or near 51% of the popular vote. The GOP won't even have that argument to use. It's a blowout![/B]

    Obama won North Carolina in 2008 but Romney captured it this time around.

    What an ignorant uneducated statement. Do things ever really change much other than a difference of paying a couple thousand extra. Can things be worse than having Bush as president? Get over it and open a book or two, could serve you well.
