fox news is funny. The republican's being interviewed are being reasonable and logical about "some" of their difficulties. The hosts are arguing with them and tellign them that they are wrong.

Damnit. Missed the election. Made it to about 7 and then passed out, and now just woke up.

Looks like Ewing just about missed dethroning Terry.

I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you’re willing to work hard, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love (ph). It doesn’t matter whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. You can make it here in America if you’re willing to try.

It certainly isn't true, there are angry old white women among the republicans too.

I'm going to go to bed with a warm glowing feeling right now, knowing that the same sex marriage amendments all passed, and that most of the marijuana amendments passed. It feels like we just took a big step forward.

GOP better wake the fuck up and realize that their base is dying off faster than ever, literally. Like, due to old age. Get with the times, morons. Social conservatism and the Southern Strategy are doing you no favors, and it's all fucking this country up in the process.

Fox is being perfect as usual. Some lady is trying to reasonably explain how Republicans are no longer appealing and representative of many modern issues, but the rest of the panel isn't having any of it. Blaming Romney and Obama's incumbency instead.

EDIT: Oh, and now they're 'investigating' the voting irregularities...

I have to say, Obama's election speech is putting me to sleep. AM I the only one? Sounds like the same speech over and over.

Obamas a one or two note canary when it comes to speeches, likeable as he is.

I'm glad to see marijuana legalized in more states, but does Obama support the legalization thereof? If he does then that's the only upside I personally can see to four more years of this guy.

Obama went into full preacher mode there at the end of the speech. I was clapping like a mother fucker in my apartment. Preach Mr. President. Preach.

I can't wait to fist bump my 72-year-old dad this weekend. Guy is a Vietnam vet and was a staunch Republican, even voting for Bush Jr. twice, but he's voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012. Fuck yeah motherfucker. Mom is still a die hard, but not crazy, Republican.

Fantastic news to wake up to. Well done, America.

By the way, have I told you how awesome you are lately?

Man, almost half the country still voted for an extremely weak candidate with no real platform. America did great tonight, but lordy, we have a looooooong way to go.

Districting. There's a reason that the house has a typical 90% incumbent win rate -- most districts are very small, highly partisan areas that just don't change that much. There isn't a national wave strong enough to dislodge Nancy Pelosi from her seat representing most of San Francisco -- nor can even a double-digit Democrat win in Ohio defeat John Boehner when he's running unopposed. And, really, when they step down, they'll just be replaced by somebody exactly like them, because they represent their district. This is one reason nonpartisan redistricting should be mandatory -- it won't completely solve this problem, but it'd definitely help.
