Nutty thought: If Obama is serious about a Secretary of Business, how about offering it to Romney? Might be the one thing he's actually good at, plus a big bipartisan fig leaf post-election to set the tone. Or maybe I've just been watching too many episodes of The West Wing.

Would be a bit bizarre after the election:

"You have no plan! Tell us your plan! See he has no plan!... want a job?"

He may be an asshole but I agree with him. After sinking a lot of money and time into a race, I think he should see if there was a miscount or some absentee ballots uncounted. I would if it was that close.

The margin was eight-tenths of a percent. The margin for a recount is one-half of a percent.

I just want this asshole out of Congress. His lunatic rhetoric is beyond embarassing.

I just heard about it from friends and don't know much else. Why is it not concerning?

Multiple reasons:

1) The 13,000 number is inflated and not representative of our current economy in the first place, so a 2.1% drop can be seen as a correction.

2) Elections make people jumpy, especially when a democrat wins. People take the opportunity to cash in and move money somewhere less volatile.

3) By the end of the week we'll be back over 13,000 probably.

Hannity acting like he's not bothered LOL - it's all okay because Thanksgiving is coming up!

Did you hear him Gary!

He was talking to us for a second!

You can tell there are multiple jimmies rustled.

"If I were a democrat, I'd be embarrassed with how I won."

I love the fucking way these guys feed their normal listeners. All he has to do is list off a bunch of scary sounding names as if he's making a point.

Ann Coulter coming up on Hannity.

That frigid bitch hasn't felt anything in a decade...doubt she acts too butthurt.
 
Very encouraging to hear filibuster reform talk. It's a big issue for the new Independent Senator Angus King. It's probably critical for Obama to have a successful 2nd term, and, more broadly, for the Senate to not be totally useless in these highly polarized times.
 
I think that America is becoming a "sectarian" country. There's the normal people and the crazies who are racist, religious freaks, rednecks and who live in an alternate reality where Obama is a socialist, muslim, Kenyan, anti-colonial world view, gonna take away all our guns, baby killer, worst president in history, rape is ok, etc.

It's odd to me that so many Republican pundits seem to think that everyone that voted for Obama is either on welfare, unemployment, food stamps, etc. I am not on any of those. It really seems they don't get it.

All this shit is 90% ads and 10% bullshit.

The thing with Rush and Hannity recently is that they've been able to set the talking points for Republicans for the rest of the week. They may be getting it from somewhere else first, but publicly they are a pretty good bellweather for where the rest of the talking heads will go.

Example:

Already Hannity is talking about the next 'Debt Ceiling'

Let them bloviate all they want. It's an echo chamber, changes nothing in the real world.
