It's going to be debated and analyzed for at least another six months how the President won reelection when everything was pointing to him losing, not only a close election but buy a wider margin then expected then all of sudden the reversed happened. This is why over the next six months to a year you'll see a lot of cooperation fron both the right and the left to get things done because the voted to have a government work for America and not againist each others agendas and they felt President Obama would be a better fit to make that happen instead of Mr. Romney.

I knew all those millions spent on GOP attack adds would backfire. People just get up, go to the john and get another beer when those adds came on. They knew who was paying for them, and they got insulted because they aren't as dumb as the GOP thought they were. Obama won because he has a great ground game. The Democrats are really organized. Our neighborhoods all had small Democratic headquarters. They were mobbed all the time by volunteers manning the phone banks and canvassing the neighborhoods. Personally talking with folks makes all the difference in the world. It makes them know they count. I know I convinced some people, who were probably not going to vote at all to vote Democratic. That's how you win elections. Political attack adds are useless. The GOP made the Democrats adds for them. All they had to do was run tape showing what Romney and (Eddie Munster) Ryan said. R&R seemed oblivious to the fact that everything they've said and done is recorded. It's going to be a long, long time before we trust the GOP. It's going to take a generation. That's how much damage they've done to themselves. The 'baggers still have too much control over the GOP. They are going forward with their draconian plans to do away with preventing women from control of their own bodies. A woman just bled to death in Ireland, because she was miscarrying and the doctors wouldn't help her because the fetus still had a heartbeat even though it would have died anyway.The law there says if the fetus has a heartbeat and the woman is miscarrying, they can't help her until the fetus doesn't have a heartbeat. Is that what we want here? The faux-religious extreme right has no compassion, empathy or kindness. They are cruel and heartless, and they don't care how much pain and suffering a woman goes through as long as their agenda is adhered to. No doubt about it, those right-to-lifers are the the modern-day inquisition.

Well, when the Republican legislatures gerrymander districts so that all the democratic votes are concentrated into small congressional districts, when those districts are are counted they will come in democratic by a large amount. SURPRISE!

I know that just about ALL of us know that the election was not about creating more jobs, trying to get the economy back on track again, concentrate on getting our respect back again from all foreign countries (Yes , obama is the "laughing stock " of the world! To the majority of the voters, getting a handle on the national debt was not important! Could it be that just about all of these people have a habit of taking from us taxpayers, and want to give nothing in return? *YES, these are the democrat voters! Yes Obama, you were not elected because of the failed last 4 years, but by taking restrictions off your food stamp and welfare programs, Anyone with any common sense can see that you were only elected for your "give-away programs! ** YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO ALL AMERICANS!

I wish that some "democrat", with a job, would try to explain it to the rest of the "democrats", without a job , that it is not a disgrace to hold down a job ,and pay your "fair share" of taxes! I say, "put on a clean shirt, brush what teeth that you do have, and go out and get one of those Obama jobs that he says is floating around!" you definitely need to get off the Obama welfare and food stamp program! GOOD LUCK!

Any posibility of traditional and unadulterated Democrat's Voting Fraud?

Maybe?

Severa States have reported it but, no one has done anything about it... So the cover-up, just one more...continues!

IN GOD WE TRUST!

Really the Democrats are not even close to having the strict control the Republicans have, that which enables the Republicans to constantly pressure their own people. It is very obvious how the Republicans act in controlled unison, to even offering the same scripted rhetoric, word for word. They have repeatedly demonstrated their dominance over their people, even to forcing "moderates", like Stowe and Lugar, out and always demanding adherence to their voting script, always in support of "the money's" interests, literally creating “puppets” to serve as their “strings are pulled”. There is no pledge, like Norquist's, being signed by the Democrats and while the Republicans squelch the individual consciences of their people the Democrats actually are challenged to keep their people together. The mega-millions constantly provided by "the money" gives the likes of Norquist, Cheney, Rove, the Koch brothers and others the "big stick" needed to keep their people in line - and that really isn't in the public’s best interests as the aim is just to con the people, manipulate public opinion and to serve only the interests of "the money".

When money is the priority, just disregarding the people and their needs, then problems will necessarily occur. When excessive deregulation, lax oversight and non-enforcement are the standard, simply aimed to facilitate exploitation by the few and rationalized as “conservative”, then there are those who abandon caution, who take shortcuts, who focus entirely on their selfish gains and the troubles we have experienced are the result. Afterward subterfuge and deception, intended to rationalize, justify, excuse and just deceive, can be expected. It doesn’t matter if it is the problems with Global Warming, or the BP oil spill, or the drastic financial melt-down, or lost jobs and the depressed economy, or any other crisis, it really isn’t government spending or the deficit at fault, as it all can be traced directly to those irresponsible and self-serving beginnings. To think otherwise is to give in to biases and ignore reality, accepting being conned and a victim. When “the money” rules, the people loose.

Does it really matter? Elmer Fudd should have been able to win against this clown.

We are all going to lose with this idiot in office for another fours and 53% should be keeping their comments to themselves when everything stays in the crapper and taxes go up on everyone that pays taxes to fund the freebees for those that do not.

Jeff,

You had Elmer Fudd running abainst Obama, and that's why your guy lost, comrade.

So where is MSNBC's story about it's skewed coverage as the Pew study reported today? Can't handle the truth? No, you can't.

Ryan doesn't seem to realize his loss is part of the last dying gasps of the old slave states.

Is this corrupt Republican corporate MONARCHY STUPIDITY OR MORE BULL$HIT? exlax ETCH-A-SKETCH & his "president", the ostrich Ryan lost for one MAJOR REASON! RECOGNIZED CORRUPTION, LIES & DECEPTION!

Forget it, it's over, your corruption has to STOP before you ever see a LEADER IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Your INFILTRATED, "HAND-PICKED" political puppets are TOTALLY USELESS to the 99% American People! You will have to change the horrific disparity of wealth between you, the one-percenters, their FOREVER VACATIONING CEO'S, your political puppets AND THE 99% American People! If, AND ONLY IF, you can & are willing to change and stop your corruption is the ONLY WAY BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

They way you are RIGHT NOW will ONLY WORSEN YOUR CHANCES TO THE WHITE HOUSE! We, the 99% American People, are throught with your corrupt ways!

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves....

Abraham Lincoln and Obama is NO Abraham Lincoln

The Republican Offer to the Middle Class:

After three decades of middle class stagnation characterized by increased healthcare costs, higher eduction costs higher energy costs and falling home values, We will-

1. Cut taxes for the rich (yet again) right away
2. Vouhcerize medicare to place more costs on Middle Class Seniors
3. Privatize social security (another Middle Class senior program)
4. Reduce unemployment insurance (to help working Americans deal with economic dislocation)
5. Cut college loan programs (pretty much targeted to the Middle Class)
6. Eliminate financial and environment regulations (don't need them in Palm Beach or Nantucket)
7. In the meantime, we will make sure less deserving folks than you, get nothing.
8. Also, if you are a woman, do not expect pay equality (who works? Middle Class women)
9. We will throw you in jail if you get an abortion (say goodbye to that job while you have that unwanted child)
10. And forget birth control.
11. If you are Hispanic (Most are middle class or aspiring to be)--go back where you came from.

Any wonder that the Republican message did not resonate with the Middle Class? Better luck next time.

and Abraham Lincoln is no barrack Obama.

I promise that the same thing will happen in '14 to the party that continues to cause gridlock in congress. The party that is perceived as bringing about compromise or trying the most to bring about compromise will win even if it is the democrats.

Here's why the GOP lost the election...They couldn't get their stories straight. When asked for specifics, they generalized. After you shake an Etch-a-sketch, you still have to draw a new picture. The GOP couldn't seem to work the knobs correctly.

Mittens didn't win his home state (MA) and didn't win his VP's home state (WI). Maybe that's part of the problem?

Obama won. A Democrat won. That happens sometimes and sometimes it happens two times in a row. WOW..

The question is will the GOP take an honest look at how they lost? I FULLY understood how McCain lost because there were a LOT of people afraid of a PALIN VP. But Romney NOT beating OBAMA should be a cold shower wake up call that POLITICS have changed in the last 10 years (go figure, EVOLUTION??). The states the Obama did win illustrate that there are more than enough Americans who are NOT black and NOT hispanic who are ready and willing to not only IGNORE "hate campaigning" but are actually DISGUSTED enough to either not vote at all OR vote for the party who isnt calling 47% of the voters "gift takers". There are enough Americans who are willing to investigate LIES on their own. TO WIT: the primary RED STATES (aka the "old confederacy") are in the top 20 states of the union that receive "gifts". These RED STATES are also the states with high minority populations. IF the GOP is telling the truth, if their "theories" are valid, how are these states remaining so SOLIDLY red? To me, the issue has NOTHING to do with what the GOP is still peddling. I expect 2016 to really illustrate how much the GOP has lost a grip on modern America. They couldnt beat the black socialist Kenyan Muslim TWO TIMES? I mean THEY COULDNT EVEN COME CLOSE??? TWICE?? Uh, at this point it is time to TOSS EVERYTHING AWAY and regroup. BUT, they arent, they are STILL pointing in the direction of COLOR, SEXUALITY and economic status to explain how Obama won.. Unless you've accepted your own ignorance, it is OBVIOUS that the GOP message is wayyy off.

I just saw the Lincoln movie. Definitely a must see- although I would have liked to see it stretch out over a wider timeframe. I do hope republics go see this movie- although most won't get it. I loved how Lincoln had the southern racists grovel for surrender. But with the 13th amendment, the only thing they wanted was now gone- to actually own another human being. Lincoln is so like Obama, the parallels are amazing. He didn't want the anti-American terrorists to be hung, but to move forward in a positive way.

I think a fitting justice would have been for each slave owner and slavery advocate to serve 5 years as a slave to what was their slaves. That would have cured the white trash of their racism and greed, but Like Obama Lincoln was just bent on doing right. In the short run it looks like weakness, but later you can see the wisdom.

The Fox news crowd reminds me of the defeated anti-American terrorist slave-owners. Despite all reason and logic, they cling to failed ideas that were disproven over a century ago. Aristocracy, special privilege, unequal application of the law and a distrust of Science. It's fun to watch Limbag try to apologize, but I still think they are dangerous and you have not seen the last of them. For now, go see Lincoln and learn something!

The GOP is always talking about the job creators as being the business owners. People don't seem to understand who are the job creators in this country. They are the people who buy the products and services that businesses provide. They are the people who work for wages. They spend money to support the economy. Those are the job creators. In the last 25 years those people wages have been stagnant while the wealthy have seen their gains go vertical. Guess what; wealthy people don't go to Chevy, Ford, Walmart, target, or Wendy's. Even if they did, their demographics are too small to support the economy. Yet and still they are the one who have made all of the gains. Businesses are cutting their on throats by busting unions, and sending their production over seas to cut cost and put more money in their own pockets. They are destroying the very market on which they depend. This economy may still be slow at full employment because the people who buy just will not have the buying power that they used to have. Supply side economics along with this insane obsession with small government is what wrecked this economy.

Cool. Four more years of President Obama. I have always wondered what a second Carter term would have been like. Now I guess we will all get to find out together.

Yeah I'm with you guys....Paddy seems like an idiot.

Remember it was Ryan saying this who had never uttered a single truth in his failed campaign
for the Romney presidency. How anyone can trust this false master with anything is beyond belief?

Ryan is showing that he still has no clue about America and why they chose against him
