Pundits, Polls and Prognosticators don't know s#$t.
They can only predict, slant, push, or pull.

They just can't DO.

Only we can do that. Thanks to all of us, everyone, for not just being too damn predictable.

I thank the person who stayed home unexpectedly due to complacency and I thank the person who went out and voted due to urgency. I also thank the person who said, "I don't care what they're telling me, I'm gonna vote what I think."

Keep it up and keep the punditocracy looking foolish. They look foolish because they are foolish.

1. I just wish the media would stop their new king/queen making every other day
1 state voted and suddenly Obama is our nominee, another state voted and suddenly Obama is dead in the water. We'll know for sure on Super Tuesday who will be our nominee and for anyone to speculate earlier is just asking to make themselves look like fools.

Good grief the media needs to get a grip

2. The day of restrained and thoughtful commentary is certainly dead
My only joy tonight is in seeing the king and queen makers looking foolish and being revealed as the fools they are. The less we listen to their pack dog yowls, the more free we will be.

3. Yes don't you just love how they make up the news before it actually happens
It looks less and less like my candidate will win so the only joy I can gain from this is making all the talking heads look silly

4. Don't give up on your candidate! 2 states are early days.
Only your candidate can give up and I hope they don't. Longer primaries are in the best interests of all of us.
