The Politics Thread

Was Dick Morris on FOX tonight? He is such a great prognosticator with his promises of a Romney landslide, I was curious what he had to say to explain away his latest wrong prediction.

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.

Please please let Bachmann and West lose tonight!

Congrats to President Obama.

I am surprised that the media is not still claiming that it was still a "toss up." LOL! They all need to shut it.

The President has arrived!

I love Brit Hume's analysis....more Democrats turned out to vote than the Republicans expected.

[Ann_SS]

So much for less Democratic enthusiasm.

Yay, the President and his family. The girls have gotten so big!

So neet fact, Obama now has 50% of the vote, making him the first Democratic President since FDR to win 50% of the vote twice.

Great acceptance speech so far! Seriously, Biden better not think of running for President. Awww, I love his tribute to his wife and daughters.

I wouldn't put it past him but hopefully he knows he wouldn't have a chance. I've grown to like him a lot (and I think some of his blunders, like the gay marriage interview, ended up helping Obama win), but he's best in the second role.

His comments about his wife were very moving and beautifully stated. He reminded me a little of 2004 Obama in that moment.

Excellent acceptance speech by the President.

Great speech by Obama.

That was great stuff, especially his saying we are not as cynical as we are made out to be. I *needed* to hear someone say that.

That was one hell of a speech. Yes there were the bipartisan tones and all the rest but there was a real fire I hadn't seen in a long time.
