So much for the superPacs and that tremendous amount of money flushed down the toilet that could have been put to so much better use.
All over the news here in Australia. Obama wins another 4 years. My warm congratulations to those who voted for the Democrats.
Biggest loss in this election is that. $4 Billion dollars wasted rather than put to good use...
Christian one needs only look no further at Congresses ten percent approval rating to understand things. Their inability to compromise has kept money on the sideline.
Exclusive not inclusive. Far cry from the party of Lincoln. Remember that after the Civil Rights Act in 64 that Johnson predicted Dems would lose the South for the next 50 years. Pretty prophetic.
if obama wants to get anything significant done, he will have to compromise with the R controlled house. He will have to bend (Obama) otherwise he gets nothing done, debt continues to rise, amercia suffers. Let's see if Obama has an ounce of leadership and genuine bipartisanship this time around. I'm not holding my breath.
Regardless of the result, I find this and the Supreme Court ruling that fomented it tragically sad.
As for Romney and Mass. - his policies were very different as Gov -- healthcare and cap and trade on emissions to name two.
he hasn't shown that in 4 years
Nor am I --- and in 4 years when we are totally and completely in the toilet, he will continue to blame Bush.
As someone once noted: "we get the kind of leadership we deserve"
I agree. This is the mainstream rejecting the extremism that has been dominating the headlines. A lot of centrists would have happily voted Romney into office if he was not beholden to the nutcases in his party. This is the end of the politics of legitimate rape and no tax raise pledges, and the beginning of the era of gay marriage and universal healthcare. Hats of to the american voters. They had me worried for a while, but sanity prevails.
It will be interesting, although irrelevant for election purposes, to see where the popular vote finally lands. I agree that extremism by either party (unfortunately, we only have two) is unacceptable to the majority of people in this country. I don't read this as a mandate for Obama and don't regard it as a 'win' for Americans as a whole. I do think all of us should acknowledge how well behaved we were here- I know there are some strong feelings on both sides, and we managed to conduct ourselves as thoughtful adults. Perhaps we should be running things.
Yes, a very good indicator that our wonderful country is screwed for another four years.
Maybe we can ask Haiti for help on how to run a third world country.;-)
Both sides have to bend and Boehner's needs to stop kissing the TEApublican's asses and put them in their place. Their message doesn't resonate with the majority of voters.
Romney made the election closer when he moderated his positions during and after the first debate. There is a lesson there for those who refuse to compromise.
Perhaps both sides will move towards the middle to protect the best interests of the nation.

We may see Boehner change because the Tea Party will be seen by many Rep party members as losing them the election with their extremism. Definitely some Senate seats. Long term demographics against the Rep party too, forex 60% of 18-29 for Obama as well as solid majority of women. Women are already the majority and gaining in numbers. Rep's biggest bloc, white males, is shrinking.
-- Looks like Donald Trump came at a close second spot, and Romney right behind at third spot. 
Congratulations Barack! -- :b
P.S. Romney's still working on his third spot's speech (still writing it).
