    Awesome video.

    Glad to see some people in the media finally standing up to the ignoramus cartel.

    Didn't the GOP at the last National Convention categorize it's own constituents as unintelligent and easily swayed and governed by fear tactics? In print? In the freaking 'Playbill?'

    THAT is your greatest weapon. The fact that they were spot on.

    yes, but those GOP'ers are really elitist too and thus by definition liberal and thus not really GOP'ers.

    The secret is that the GOP is actually run by liberals!

    All joking aside, the truth is that both parties are run by entrenched interest, mostly wealthy and/or well connected.

    :(

    A good sign --

    Early Reports Point To High Voter Turnout In Urban Areas

    WASHINGTON -- Early anecdotal reports of turnout at polling places indicates higher than expected activity in urban areas, which could bode well for Democrats and undercut the narrative about an enthusiasm gap among progressives.

    I think you do.

    Exclusive: RNC document mocks donors, plays on 'fear'

    I won't copy and paste it as I know it's been done here before... for this article... and because I know you won't read/acknowledge it while you're busy being obtuse.

    The Democrat post-election talking points

    I'm on the OFA email list. It'll be interesting to see what they say.

    Why is it that urban areas are generally Democrat, but rural areas are Republican? It is what it is?

    I could see arguments from both ends:

    - From the right: Poor people live in the city. Poor people like handouts. Democrats like giving handouts. Poor people like Democrats.

    - From the left: People living in the city are more educated. Smart people vote Democrat.

    A combination of both?
