    Rove might want to keep an eye over his shoulder. Lots of pissed off billionaires that didn't get much of a return on their investment.

    He gots lots of splainin' to do.

    He kept their hopes up with the Rassmussen and Gallup polls, while railing on the inaccuracy of the other polls. He was telling them " we are close, we just need a little more $$$". I wonder how much he cleared for himself in this race.

    Not just a cf.net member, but Will is one of Clutch's original Admin Crew. Doesn't post too much anymore, but when he does, it's always a great thread.

    I just saw Haley Barbour on CBS this morning talk about the election and what the Romney Campaign did wrong. According to him the Romney campaign was as much in denial about the polls as some of the posters here. They also actually believed that Republican turnout was going to be greater why Democratic (read black and Hispanic) turnout was going to be on par with 2004. He described it as they (Romney campaign) was playing on a different field than the Obama campaign.

    I was glad that Obama won but I am even more happy about it now. If the Romney campaign was going to be as clueless about the election, something they were more closely involved with than anyone other than the Obama campaign, what they might've done in office.

    Sounds like Boehner thinks he was elected for his policies, by the majority, as president. What happens next, same as last go around?

    It is both sad and hilarious to watch this now, especially the last 30 seconds or so.

    This is from some facebook dude named "cousin cole," so yeah, I know that is a pretty good source, but he scaled the color factor by actual %red/blue.

    Kind of makes it look like we aren't so polarized this way. :)

    (whoops, it is teh bigun.)

    If only white men had voted, Obama would have picked up 37 electoral votes.

    There was a time on our nation's history when only white men voted. If now was then, Obama would have been trounced. Just another way of making the point that the demographics of this country is changing, along with the ideas of democracy.
