Lesson of the night: reality has a liberal bias as long as conservatives choose to delude themselves. Reality is not some postmodern puddy that always lies roughly halfway between what the two talking heads on the screen say. We can verify reality using math and science, and we should not reject empricism and its results simply because we don't like what it implies.

In the grand scheme of things, one vote doesn't matter, but it can on a local level. With Obama winning Harris county by 2 votes, that means he won the most populated county in Texas. He also won the counties that consist of San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin which rounds out our top 4 most populated cities.

Knowing that I contributed to the little blue square of Dallas county makes me feel better. Looks like a pretty healthy 15 point margin here, too, exactly the same as '08, despite the state as a whole going 6 points more Republican. San Antonio was the same as 2008 as well, and Houston and Austin were only down a percent or so (and in Austin where it's a 30 point Obama win, a point or so is probably just noise.)
 
wtf chris matthews, don't reference the storm =/

He sort of corrected himself I guess, but that was bad... even Rachel was like "Whoa..." She shut him up pretty quickly.

Also, he looked like he was half asleep. That be some tired speak happening. He is usually good with not saying stupid shit like that.

This is best in life.
 
I don't think he made it any better tbh. He basically said he's glad Sandy gave his preferred party a political advantage.

He better hope nobody picks that up.

Oh, I agree with you. I am just saying he caught it and tried to throw the "political leader" thing into at the end. Tried to correct it, at least.

Shame hearing that from him...

That was an excellent victory and concession speech by both candidates. Let's hope the next four years put America on the path of prosperity!

Eagerly awaiting retractions of all the Nate Silver hate.

Sorry, what's that? You say this result was "totally obvious, everyone knew it, even my grandmother could've gotten this right"?

Oh, ok.

The dynamics of every election are different, this doesn't mean anything about 2014! You still need us, don't listen to that nerd

Oh, ok.

It's almost like math and statistics actually work. Maybe the right will end up embracing facts instead of gut feelings next time... hahahaha

Seriously, Nate Silver is amazing. He deserves all the credit for the work he does and more.

You did good America. It would be tragic if it went the other way. Still surprised that Romeny was able to get some votes.
 
You count that shit until its done, pretty hilarious that they just gave up for the night

Why? The official results can wait a day. The people who count votes need to sleep too you know. Voting was extended for hours in some counties in Florida. It was crazy, the more the Republicans tried to suppress votes, the more voters turned out in Florida.

Lol Donald Trump sound ever so brave using that twitter account. If there was a revolution, his hair would be the first thing to roll.

You do it because its important, if you can't do it in one night then something is very wrong
