I couldn’t believe it when Fox News called Wisconsin for that arrogant pos, even though Romney was 57 points and 0bama was 10 points behind with 4 percent in. They called states for Romney with only 1 percent in

Odd stuff here.

Kenyan and Fat Deb get re-elected on pork handouts, yet all 6 proposals were shut down including two anti-union ones.

At first was disappointed that Prop. 1 also failed but after sleeping on it, don’t care. Let them fail.

Right-to-work law coming our way!

Obama won because he took 5.1 million more votes in the under 30 demographic.

The next GOP candidate, several months prior to the election, will need to release an an iPhone or Xbox game featuring him as the hero. Maybe that will help.

I could have easily voted several times at my polling place. The people working the polls were good at checking people in; but once checked in, voters were able to mill about the room before and after voting. No one was paying attention as to who voted and who did not.

Higher turnout from the plantation population. Lower turnout overall. Plantation Party wins.

Actually lower turnout on both sides. Looks like a lot of conservatives decided to stay home rather than vote Romney. Thanks a lot!

I think this election shows that the “tipping point” has passed.

And, like you posted, the only way out of it is the inevitable collapse.

“America” is not mentioned in Biblical end-time prophecy.

“The dems were successful in scaring women away from Romney -that was a big factor.”

That is correct. The Dems resorted to scare tactics (the evils GOP is gonna take away your contraception!) to secure the women’s vote.

On the flip side, we had Senate candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock who couldn’t keep their foot our of their mouths.

Bottom line - The takers now rule. America is dead.

Drudge says Romney got less votes that McCain in 2008. Holy smoke! Didn't see that coming.

Your post is why I am convinced that we as a nation will hit rock bottom and split into at least two separate nations.

I am also convinced that there will be all the horrors of balkanization including pogroms and mass starvation.

The “takers” are addicted to the “handout heroin” and will NEVER prepare for the day when the assistance stops.

What sane people need to do now is prepare for that day ensuring that the parasites don’t take what is theirs when the collapse comes.

I think the FIRST question that must be asked is

"How did everyone get it so wrong?"

Listening to the advice of Dick Morris is certainly a starting point.

Well we have to do something, because I can’t name one thing we did to court that age group. They obviously don’t care about the economy.

On the upside, they will age over the next 4 years and hopefully some of them will come around to the financial damage being done.

Miami Dade waited until Pensacola turned their number in so they could see how many votes they needed to generate. Something really did go wrong with this election.

I think we should look a little closer to home and stop playing party politics and stick to conservative principles right here on FR.

Conservatism is who we are and FR instead embraced a flaming liberal.

The result is right here for all to see.

The whole election doesn’t make sense.

Outrageously lower turnout for the Obama rallies, foreign owned company running voter machines, the mess the country is in, the polls and Benghazi. Add to that Obama’s off the mike remark to Russian President saying he’d have “more flexibility” after the election.

Carl Rove is a smart guy as is Michael Barone. Carl was confounded, as am I, with the county numbers. Today, drudge claims there were 14 million voters less, (even saying McCain got more Repub votes).

I don’t believe it. I’m beginning to think the Dems pulled off the fraud of the century. Nothing makes sense and I’m beginning to believe this whole thing was rigged from the beginning.

GOP convention mistreated the Ron Paul delegates and shun the Evangelical Christians. Ron Paul delegates were so pissed some gave Code Pink activists their Convention Pass, that is a lot of anger. McCain had 60 million votes in 2008, Romney had about 59 million. Someone did stayed home.

He wants the collapse on his watch. He can’t complete the transformation without it.

I'm not buying it... Obama tallied around 10 million fewer votes than he did in 2008 ... while, at the same time, Mitt managed to underperform McCain.

2012

OBAMA -- 59,651,236
ROMNEY -- 57,028,531

2008

OBAMA -- 69,456,897
MCCAIN -- 59,934,814

Step one is to get rid of Rove, Morris, Rollins and every other "expert consultant" that's been around longer than 10 years and then start over. Their brand of ubiquitous mediocrity has totally outlived its usefulness

The words "trashbin of history" come to mind.
