May the post election period bring about a bit less shrill attacks on every disagreement and a bit more where we look for areas we can work together.
Tonight, we put aside our differences to celebrate our nation and our republican form of government. With the exception of anarchist-twit Albert J. Nock, every poster here has shown a deep love of country and a commitment to the democratic process.
Libertad, I salute you tonight for your ability to separate your analysis and predictions from your hopes.
Arapagop, you were true to your vision and honorable in your approach.
David, you have consistently brought depth and decency to our discussions.
Harry Doby, the best of the best, your decency and research enriches our discourse.
Madco, and DaftPunk, your humor keeps us rooted to reality.
Pols, you provide us a forum for this community.
PC, long may you wave!
As to the rest, I do not wish to slight by omission but let me just salute you all.
I can’t help but think of those that have for various reasons, left the site.
For example, if I could post like SSG_Dan, I’d really be dangerous!
Me, MADCO, humor and reality in the same sentence?
Blogger please!
Can we stop the filibuster crap now?
Unless Dems retake the House (and I haven’t heard anyone predict that), or get a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, I fully expect the disloyal opposition, treacherous fuckers that they are, to double down. I just hope that Obama finally takes the kid gloves off and makes a nationally televised address whenever they obstruct things. Taking it straight to the people is seldom a bad strategy.
then GOP will lose, overwhelmingly, in 2014
I don’t think they have the balls to do that even if they thought President Obama was in the wrong. The paycheck and prestige mean to much to them
The GOP obstructionism was apparent in the first half of Obama’s first term, but they never pointed it out and allowed the GOP to play it off as Obama’s fault, thus handing them over the House. I’m not at all optimistic that the public will see through it if Obama doesn’t do a better job on the bully pulpit.
I voted for Gary Johnson but on second thought I should have voted for Romany just to see the riots after Obama loses, not to mention all of the CPolsters heads spontaneously exploding…
one vote of yours carries a whole lot of weight, huh?
Your mother must be proud.
I hope the Nocker is not a gun nut
No hope required. If Obama loses, there will be riots.
Which is a testament to your foul nature as a human being as well as your utter idiocy as a thinker. No one applying objective analysis to the polls has predicted an Obama victory, and so far the counts are not going Romney’s way either.
Nahh, it is just a fact, if Obama loses, there will be riots. I hope no innocents lose life or property in the process.
You provide a real challenge.
… like the “fact” that Trayvon Martin was a bare-handed killing machine?
to worry any more about those riots . . .
Whew — that’s sure a relief.
Yeah, that won’t happen. Too bad for you.
Thielen vs Hemmings for Hawaii Senate. No polling so we won’t know until the votes are counted.
They were reporting 700,000 votes on Amend 64 – saying it was 1% reporting. Someone clearly didn’t do very good in their math class…
First round of numbers just popped up. But on 5% of total
Who should President Obama consider appointing?
Hillary? Michelle?
As did the repeal of the ban on MMJ dispensaries in Fort Collins 55-45. On the whole, a good night for marij… hey, Doritos!
He didn’t get his butt to the Western Slope near enough and was nearly invisible when he did. His campaign didn’t buy a whole lot of radio, which is the top way to go over here. Tipton just rode the heavy Republican waves on the Western Slope and did pretty well in Pueblo.
Makes me wonder what Pace was doing at all.
and added that civil unions are sure to pass next session. Yay!
Boom, bitches. Party over at the Republican party at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Neat idea holding it where Obama accepted the nomination in 2008. Even neater idea to hold your victory party there to really rub it in Democrats faces in 2012. Awesome idea; shit execution considering even if the Post is wrong, Obama is going to win tonight. Sucks to be Ryan Call.
Elway’s done drowning his sorrows, he won’t have to call a cab.
Maybe a technicolor yawn as well.
I thought she was too optimistic.
you better tell Rosa Linda’s to expect a cheerful group
Hopefully, the extra business for the family will salve any ruffled feathers with the other (unsuspecting) customers.
I’m going to bed. Good night!
Not as big as they would have liked, with the US House remaining stubbornly in GOP control…
But we have a net pickup of Senate seats, and an upgrade of several others, including:
* Brown -> Warren (huge win for the common man)
* Lugar -> Donnelly (esp. considering it’s via Mourdock)
* Snowe -> King (who will caucus with the party in favor of filibuster reform and allowing him more independence – i.e. Democrats)
* Lieberman -> Murphy (no more friendly fire from Joe)
* Webb -> Kaine (minor upgrade, but still…)
Marijuana legalization is doing decently across the country.
Marriage equality did very well tonight (won in Maine and Maryland, winning in Washington, and repelled an anti-equality measure in Minnesota).
Attempts to pass several “conservative” measures in Florida failed. (Making Obamacare illegal and setting anti-abortion standards into the state Constitution are among them…)
We didn’t pick up many House seats, but the map was considered R+3 vs. last election due to redistricting. We’ll wind up at D+1-4, so we did get a couple of pickups. Better news at the House level: Joe Walsh, Allan West, and perhaps Michele Bachmann are OUT!
Downsides:
We had a net loss of governor’s seats.
We didn’t do as well in the House as we wanted to.
he calls out a lot of nonsense.
Said how interesting it would be to have Alan Grayson and Allen West both in the House together.
I’m happy only one of those came true. Grayson can be a bit over-the-top and occasionally off the rails, but the flip side to that is that he’s an unapologetic advocate for progressive issues. It was good having him in the House to counter all of the whacky stuff coming from the extreme right wing.
