1787-2012 RIP USA.
225 years was a good long run and about as long as a democracy has lasted in world history.
I sure had it wrong. I thought turnout would be higher for Romney but it was not. 0bama fired up his base and sadly Romney did not. I had not calculated the damage that was done in the last four years to the electorate. Maybe now we could actually have a conservative and not a moderate run for president. This is the second time this strategy failed us. I think that those extra 3 million republican voters that turned out in 08 was due 100% to Palin. Romney shunned Palin and the Tea Party and his positions on 90% of the issues was almost identical to Obama. Team Obama just manipulated their base so much better.
Get ready for Boehner to be rolled on every issue that comes up as the MSM really puts the screws to him and the party.
Me, as a woman with no political base or wealthey friends to help had no choice. I just went to bed early with the pets, opened the window to let in the cold air, closed the bedroom door and turned off the TV. A comfort to me that Hubby came to bed and snored like a weed eater, all was well ,clean air, comfortable blankets and all in one spot. Dog snores and Cats do twitch but it was a good night winters sleep.
Morning came, up at 3 AM and Hubby had to tell me the bad news.----What a bitch, I instead of a cup off coffee grabbed me a beer.
