but Hillary said she doesn't want to run and want to retire
Well, I wouldn't say never, especially since I'm kind of surprised the election wasn't wider than it was, but I do think he's going to have far more trouble escaping his brother's shadow than his brother did escaping their father's shadow.
... And after the article about how the GOP won't get their Bill Clinton I think the party's going to be dying a slow yet violent death, and if they get an opening later on (and assuming they keep heading further and further right) we could be fucked.
It's even worse than usual. She sounded like she was about to stroke out.
Yeah, apparently all those dirty colored 'immigants' from poor countries are to blame. That would've won it!

did Coulter just imply that Akin and Mourdock were the GOP "chasing perfection"

His success was built on a deck of cards. A trick deck. Once everyone knows the trick, his illusion is over.
Akin as a perfect standard is revolting, but does this mean they realize, even a little, that they need to turn down the social shit?
It probably doesn't.
Nate Silver is the man running America behind the scenes. Of course, it's all so clear to me now!
That's never happening. The Bush name is forever toxic now.

i've spent the last 18 hours hearing republicans scream that minorities are too stupid to vote for the right party and that women voters are hysterical sex-craved sluts who vote with their vaginas and that America Needs Strong Conservatives so no they will never do this ever, more blood for the blood god, skulls for the skullthrone

Well she hates vaginas and uteri so it wouldn't surprise me.
What. Once people find out his mathimatical formula he will only be vindicated since it has proven time and time again to be really close to spot on.

His formula was the one they did in Moneyball.
My Fiancee was very involved and interested in this election. While she was checking the individual results for counties in PA, she saw the two 3rd Party Candidates and looked at me:
"Who are those two doofuses?"
I answered:
"They're the 3rd Party Candidates."
To which she says:
"No wonder they didn't do too good."

Yeah. That's what I'm trying to say. Everyone can do it now. Even Dick Morris.

Sadly, I think the lesson they'll draw is not that their policies are unpopular and should change but that they should just not talk out loud about what their real policies are.
Don't change policy or try to sell your policy more effectively . . . just hide it and try to win despite your unpopular policy.
Ironically Obama's been the most vocal anti-videogame ( in rhetoric ) president in my lifetime.
No, Al Gore doesn't count.

Involved and interested in the election but doesn't know who Johnson or Stein are? No offense. I figure even if you're not interested in them or their platforms you'd at least be interested in their potential effect on the election.

If Allen West steals this election from Patrick Murphy, I'll vomit and eat said vomit.

Paying attention is a liberal trick, I agree.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Math might as well be a magical illusion to members of the right; they've proven time and time again they are completely unable to grasp it. Despite the accuracy of Nick's polls this election using equations, they still won't use math. It's not conducive enough to the manipulation required to fit their narratives.

Yeah, they were all a bunch of racist Deists anyway. They probably didn't smell very nice, either.

yeah, they'd legitimately be upset about a black man being president

I won't argue with you there.
But I think we're not arguing for very different fucking reasons.

Who do you think all the abortions are for?
I bet Jefferson would have taken one look at modern technology and we would never see him again. He would be in a maintenance shop somewhere.
Washington would hit up Affordable Dentures right away.
And Lincoln would stop by the Mens Wearhouse on his way to meet with Republican leaders.

This thread is finally slowing down. The gloating is over.
Time to get on to serious matters like a Benghazi investigation and the fiscal cliff.

Agreed.
Nope. I wouldn't hold my breath for a lot here, the election is over and the entire reason that exists was simply as a failed talking point.
He's made a few comments along these lines, see:
I think that's probably the case, and is reinforced in some of the comments I'm referring to.

I've listened to tons of conservative media today and haven't heard much of anything about Benghazi at all. The whole idea of pretending it to be some huge scandal and that they care so much about the families of the lives lost is over. It was purely a political talking point that didn't work, so on to the next one...
That's a good thing. More statistical analysis and less "gut feeling".

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Did we ever get to the bottom of the Ground Zero Mosque?
So in order to gain the minority and woman votes they need... they try to push those groups as far away as possible and foster the burning core of hatred.
Those people will vote Republican anyways. Seems pointless to me.
Why do you even think I'm upset?

Doesnt mean you can't play video games. It's not healthy to be in front of the screen 8 hours a day after school before you're even 9 years old. That's what today's kids are growing into. It's going to be similar to:
