If Romney had acted like that from the beginning he might have won.
He was gracious. IMO, he looked as if a weight was lifted off his shoulders.

Who provides the jobs?!

Hint: it's not the government.

300 EVs. Even I predicted nowhere near that.

Congratulations, Obama.

Fox is doing a post-mortem. They don't get it, yet. Clueless.

Oh - of note, I did get selected for an exit poll! First time ever. Was both interesting and a little odd.

Of course, the usual questions about who you would vote for, etc. Some other questions I thought odd. A ton about Obamacare and would I want to see tweaks, etc. Also, an odd question about would I support taxing life insurance annuities each year as they gain in value. And the final issue was abortion.

Thought the questions were 'interesting' as some of them had nothing to do with the campaign itself but rather what I wanted to see in the future kind of stuff.

Uh... you might to rethink that. VA Congresswoman on C-Span the other day ranting and raving about cuts in DOD will cause massive unemployment in her state.

So, what's that again about the government not providing jobs? Ha!

In principle I agree with the above. Other than government and party employee, liberals and Democrats don't have a goal of bigger government but rather better government. Were not in favor of higher taxes, but rather better value for money spent. And other than the banksters, we're not for deficits.

I thought he gave a gracious farewell speech.

Can't wait for everything Obama's going to do to/for America the NEXT four years
