As a non-Democrat leftist, I still think the electoral college should be abolished. It is inherently anti-democratic.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm a Canadian, but was rooting for Obama to win it. That being said, I'd rather presidents were chosen based on popular vote, not the electoral college. After all, if this is how America worked, Bush Jr. would have never made it to the white house back in 2000.

Back between 2000 - 2004, I remember a lot of armchair pundits on internet forums telling democrats to quit whining about Gore's loss, saying "America isn't a democracy, it's a republic!"

Now that there's a chance Romney wins the popular vote, the tune seems to be changing.

Fox News not good at geography and population analysis.

Your heat map means SHIT. NO ONE LIVES IN YOUR HICK COUNTIES, JUST BECAUSE IT IS MOSTLY RED IS MEANINGLESS.

Dems have two years to talk strategy. If they dodge handling shit, they can go fight in those counties for votes.

I'm just happy we don't have to worry about the supreme court.

As a guy who voted for Johnson and thinks the electoral college is a complete and utter joke that should be abolished, I would like to hear some opinions. I'm not trying to kick any hornets nests or cry bitter tears, I did not expect my guy to win in a million years, but I am genuinely curious.
I'm not American but I will chime in that the electoral college system is an absolute fallacy no matter which party comes out on the winning end of it. Especially when inevitably every election is decided by Florida and Ohio without fail.

It's an antiquated system and needs to be done away with. I explained earlier tonight why it won't be... both political parties like it this way because they can consolidate their cash and resources to the battlegrounds and ignore the rest of the country. But Jesse Ventura was right on the money when he said proportional representation was the way to go.

He was right on the money about a lot of other stuff, too.

Kids popping all the balloons at what is left of the Akin event. Seems very sad violin.



I've been to loser political parties before, they aren't fun, except for the free booze and trying to figure out what to do better next time




But in this case I'm laughing my ass off :)

One of the biggest employers in my hometown area is the NYSDOC...it's hilarious to see all the CO's bitch about their tax money paying for other people's livelihoods on my Facebook feed.

What is it about gun enthusiasts that makes them so afraid of Obama?

Honestly? He's a Democrat (never mind that he didn't do diddly shit WRT gun legislation) and even worse, he's black.

They hate 'leftist'/moderate gun owners like me more than they hate anti-gun types, since we don't go full retard with them, but we share the hobby.

Nifty AND saffron-colored!
OMG. The guy on Al Jazeera literally just said "This is a guy who knows what it's like to be at the receiving end of a beating" when John McCain was speaking ...

We are done as a nation, time to change the battle people. Elections do not work. The fight is between good and evil now, between God and Satan.

God is still on the thrown. We are so late in the season of Jesus return that this result is a perfect fit and confirmation of where we stand regarding the approaching tribulation. This is not our home....don't be discouraged just keep praying, watching and looking up!

Praying for Israel seriously. I think Obama will toss the mask off and truly turn on Israel. America is toast

It was so wonderful to be glad for our country and our children for a little while, for a change...

The Lord just allowed the last string of patriotism and hope to be cut, and now we're strangers in a barren land.

Only in America!
