Come on man. There is a point where holding off the concession makes you look really bad. I think we're at that point. I would 100% be saying the same thing if my guy lost.

2000 was different.

Apparently (according to PBS) Joe Biden told a poll worker today that it wouldn't be the last time he would be on a ballot

I read that he joked to someone that he would run for a city council or something. Just him having fun.

This guy on fox saying republicans to move center or face whigdom. Props there, though he is meet with some resistance.

A Republican strategist on NBC (not MSNBC) was basically saying the same thing, or at least saying the problem wasn't being conservative enough. I think there will be enough level-headed conservatives willing to say the obvious, but whether that makes any difference to the Tea Partiers and the radical right that actually control the primary process is anyone's guess.

I still dont understand Linda McMahon. Why is she so bent on getting a senate seat?

Why do young athletes go out and buy a million dollars in jewelry when they're drafted? If you're rich as fuck, you don't know how to act.

Now imagine you have billion dollars, and you're old, and you're white. What else in life is there to accomplish?

Someone on my Facebook feed who I am certain I asked Facebook not to show status updates from:

"Congratulations, Barack Obama, for receiving fewer votes than your opponent."

I just replied and said that was going to look pretty stupid once California's votes are counted.

que?
Does that popular vote mean anything? I tried to find it on wiki but didn't see anything. /Canadian

No, it means nothing.

However, losing the popular vote while winning the electoral vote makes voters feel disenfranchised, in a way, and gives the losing party something to bitch about.

Winning both is just, if you will, salt in the wound.

I make myself laugh.
 
Have they blamed you personally for it yet? That's always a fun one.

Not yet, but I've sidestepped their questioning and haven't made it blatantly clear I voted for Obama to them. I'll let them keep their protective bubble about their son.

In other news, it looks like I spoke too soon about my Facebook feed. Got one guy on there shitting it up now, a late arrival who managed to hit every Republican cliche status in five status updates over the course of about fifteen minutes. If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was actively trolling.
 
does mitt think that if he flees to the cayman islands or mexico with all the campaign money without ever conceding, then technically the election never ends and he'll still be running?

Posted this in the other thread, but congrats to all you democrats who got your win tonight. I didn't vote for Obama, but no need to get my panties in a bunch. A win is a win, so soak it up and enjoy.

Congrats

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
CNN now showing Obama with the popular vote, up 40k+

Trump is revising his twitter feed :p
 
Is romney going to give a speech? I want to see if he as graceful in defeat as McCain was. It was only when Mccain lost that I realized he would have been a decent president

If I could go back in time I would have vote for McCain over Obama and then spent everyday praying he didn't kick the bucket. Obama has turned out to be as bad as Bush and Romney is ,well, Romney.

My guess is they knew Romney was going to lose to they hid Ryan hoping to keep him for 2016.
