So How Did Obama Win The Election without ACORN?

I though that ACORN committed massive voter fraud which won the election for Obama in 2008. At least that's what Fox News told me.

Can't wait for the U. of Wash/U. of Colo Game on 11/17

Given the results of the election, it should be "highly" entertaining.

Over the past 24 Years, The Bushes are the only Republicans to win the Presidency

And, going into 2016, the strongest contender for the Republican nomination will be Jeb Bush.

Reminds me of this scene from "Game of Thrones":
(p.s. it's a fake deer.)

Hell Yes! I Want "Stuff"! I Want The "Stuff" That My Tax Dollars Pay For!

Yes, I want my SS and Medicare, because I paid for them.

Yes, I want American children to have free public education because when I was their age, adults at the time paid for my education.

Yes, I want top notch, well-trained First Responders because last week, my power was out for 5 days and lives were saved because of them.

Yes, I want paved roads, an FAA to inspect my planes, regulations on bankers so that they don't blow my savings on hookers and blow.

Yes, I want a Single payer system, but given that 48% of my fellow Americans are easily manipulated, I will settle for the ability to buy health insurance without being pre-screened for pre-existing conditions.

So, Yes. I Want Stuff!!

Yes, Nate Silver Is Great, But The Real Credit Goes to Obama's Team

Not to take anything away from Nate, it's really the Obama team that is truly awesome. Nate gathers data from surveys, designs the model, and makes projections. It's Obama and his team that creates the source data for Nate's analysis.

From the primaries in 2008 through the 2012 election, Team Obama knows exactly what they need to do in order to win elections. They know how to identify votes and get them out to the polls. They know where to campaign, who to campaign to, and how to campaign to them. They've gotten so good at identifying key voters, they probably know them by name. "If Harriet Jameson of Cherry Creek, COL votes for us, then we win the state."

My biggest fear is that future Dem candidates won't be able to organize like Team Obama has.

I Know That Sen. Warren is from Mass. But I Feel Like She Represents All of Us

which is exactly how Ted Kennedy was a senator for all Americans, not just the people in Mass.

Hey, Anne Coulter Was Finally Right About Something

They nominated Mitt Romney and they lost.

Karl Rove May Be In Trouble with His Sponsors

He raised a ton of dirty money from secret sources and promised them this election, and now, he cannot deliver. So, he's on Fox News spinning like crazy that Ohio is not over. He's literally going to war with Fox News' own analysts.

Karl's money people are not going to be happy with him.
