They'd also set up a huge fireworks display at Boston Harbor to go off during his victory speech.

Oh, it gets better than that! Check this [!@#$%^&*] out! They were unskewing their own [!@#$%^&*] polls. And then there was that "Project ORCA," their cheap-ass response to Obama for America's GOTV effort - basically, send a bunch of people out to the polls on Election Day and then get THEM to get out the vote at the last minute. Give me a fuckin' break. Their app for that (EDIT: actually not an app - a mobile-optimized website a bunch of confused Republicans called 'an app' that was improperly set up) broke down on many phones and then crashed entirely. And used - again - those same 'unskewed' polls in its computer program.

I think the majority of the media is acknowledging Obama won handily and that the electorate has changed forever. Even otherwise conservative pundits on the networks.

Chris Matthews can be a blowhard, but he's a good guy. He loves Obama. He just has a bee in his bonnet on a few specific things he would've done. Fine. We all do. He'll get over it. He's very happy - anyone who saw him in the last few days or weeks knows that.

Man, she was trashed.

I've loved Joe Biden for many years, long before 2008. He is salt of the earth, a champion of the working man, a very seasoned and battle-hardened politician who knows how to make government work, and just a fine, fine man. I don't know if he'll run, but people in the press belittling his outsize persona underestimate him at their peril.

Most media outlets are saying it is a commanding victory. I can't wait for Joe Scarborough to show up hung over tomorrow morning. Or next week. Looking forward to his new mustache.

Each of the 32 Romney clone supersoldier son corps terrify me.

Man, this is boilerplate. I'm glad I didn't bet money on his coming out with a handgun.

Romney has apparently called Obama. Murder-suicide? Taking bets, guys.

I just turned to FOX as MSNBC goes to a commercial break. It looks like a cult meeting in Romneytown.

Yeah, Mitt was the man to heal America. Give me a [!@#$%^&*] break. And Barack will take the popular vote.

I cannot wait to see Mitt live on my TV. I do not believe he is psychologically capable of facing this loss. He has never been told no.

How did I know Mitt would refuse to concede? He will not end up with the popular vote.

ABC News is claiming Jeb Bush told Romney's people FL is gone.

Time to call this thing. I thought Baldwin was already locked.

It's a nasty speech worth watching for the schadenfreude. Same with Brown's, I hear. Apparently he was crying.

He was just raging about everything wrong with the other side, no faith, no Constitutional law, lazy people, etc.

Akin's concession speech is awful.

Romney High Command has gone radio silent, missing in action and not replying to emails or calls.

He brought jack [!@#$%^&*]. He embarrassed himself at the veep debate, then completely disappeared. I can't imagine whose idea he was. They claim it was Romney's, but I think it was a Koch Brothers gambit. Rumor was they promised a big payday if he picked Ryan, the right wing darling.

People write off women too much. Remember when everyone thought Liz Warren was a lost cause? She roared back and never lost the lead again.

A rare moment of honesty from Chuck Todd, scoffing at Republican losses, saying it's not Sandy but bigotry and an inability to embrace the growing minority vote that lost them these states.
