Love me some move from a insta Obama Call (The People's Republic of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations) to a insta Romney Call Texas

We own the House! (Reps may even GAIN seats). Yep all those "all you say is NO" cries from the commies really came back and hurt us.
Well if this holds to form we will have:
1. Stronger Conservative House
2. Slight Dem Majority Senate
3. Lame Duck Obama
Yep going to go over the cliff and into a recession with a debt debacle. Oh well we deserve the government we vote for.
romney beginning to pull away in florida. hopefully its a good sign
From what I can tell Florida looks like it will be RAZOR thin margin for either side and could easily end in a recount. I'd need to check the counties remaining but I'm reading up and it looks like it will be VERY close in Florida but if Romney loses it is all but over.Originally Posted by baseballplyrmvp
If I am counting correctly Obama basically has 253 in the electoral college wrapped up (barring a shocker). So Romney is going to basically have to run the table (minus maybe 1 or 2 depending on the size) of the remaining swing states: Florida; Virginia; North Carolina; New Hampshire; Ohio; Colorado; Iowa.
Romney CANNOT win w/o Ohio and Florida. He loses either and he is done. VA/NC are also huge but he could lose one of those if he ran the table everywhere else.
Romney now MUST win Florida; Ohio; Virginia North Carolina AND EITHER CO or IA with NH out.
not lookin good.....
It ain't lookin' good fellow right wingers. It looks like our country has slowly changed and we are unfortunately (in our opinion) slowly but SURELY becoming Europe. If you want a glimpse of our 100% certain future just look at the MESS across the pond where countries cannot even afford drugs to treat their citizens for cancer.
If this holds..... we as conservatives have a number of options. My fellow right wingers at law school long feared the country was changing and that the country would move left due to "losers" wanting free stuff and the declining white majority (i.e. minorities having more kids than white people thus a demographic change). We concluded that when/if this occurred we had two options
#1 - moderate some issues to pander to minorities (immigration) or
#2 - stay a CONSERVATIVE party and "starve the beast" (government) and wait for it to implode (see Europe) and let the chips fall where they may in terms of those who choose to become dependent on government to live.
Any thoughts of what you would like to see in the future?
I have VERY strong feelings on this and IMHO #2 is a MUCH more attractive option as I would LOVE nothing more than to watch a government dependent society completely implode. It will certainly make for some good laughs when people WILL lose their food; shelter; etc.... when China stops giving us that cash $

It is what it is. This election was ALL about which "model" of turnout showed up at the polls. Unfortunately, the 2012 "America" is NOTHING like the "America" during the revival of the conservative movement.
Romney could still pull out a "miracle" but its unlikely.
I just cant wait for the day of reckoning that is INEVITABLE when this 2012 "America" implodes and the "losers" REALLY SUFFER. The "free stuff" mentality works for awhile but eventually you take away the incentive to succeed and you run out of "other people's money". Government dependcy (a.k.a. "Liberalism") has FAILED EVERYWHERE it has been tried (Cuba, Europe, USSR, etc...)
Rove (a pretty straight shooter and good at # crunching) thinks Romney still has a shot but IF he pulls it off it will be RAZOR thin. Needs an "inside straight" of (FL, NC, VA, OH + IA or CO).
Looks like it will be a LONG night either way but Obama definitely has an advantage.
LMAO John Boehner and Grover Norquist are 100% certain the House will NOT vote to increase any taxes. Obama 100% will not extend the current tax rates for the top bracket.
Can you say going over the cliff a 100% CERTAINTY?
America voted for it (whether they knew it or not is another issue)
"Interesting" side note from tonight is it appears that even more "blue dogs" are getting destroyed. KY lost a democrat in the house and some other blue dogs lost in NC as well. It appears that in 2012 Americans are "self selecting" where we live leading to an even more polarized government.
My wife and I CERTAINLY "self selected" getting the HELL out of Rhode Island for Texas. MD Anderson is one of if not THE best opportunities for my wife right now but she interviewed with prob 5 of the top 10 programs and we liked Texas because "the people are more like us" here than elsewhere.
In lawschool I knew liberals but now I am not "friends" with a single liberal here in Texas.
I don't see this trend changing any time soon. Liberals will want to go where they can live with other liberals and Conservatives want to go where they can live with other Conservatives.
Looks like FL is headed for a recount but Romney must still win NC, VA, OH and either IA or CO. It's going to be CLOSE but they basically ALL have to fall his way. It's like hitting a card on the river to give your opponent a "bad beat"
LMAO I didn't think it was possible but my wife is even MORE pissed than I am about the way things are going. "I didn't work this hard my ENTIRE LIFE to have the [CENSORED] government tell me whether I can or cannot help treat my patients!"
She left the living room and went to read some of her research and do some work because "I cannot watch this [censored] any more!"
Unscientific survey of women's cancer physicians unhappy with Obamacare and the rationing board that will deny your wife/mother/sister proper cancer treatment because their life "isn't worth it".
florida still has the heavy republican panhandle results to come in. nc was just called for romney. virgina is very close but romney has a lead. we're losing ohio slightly more and more with each update. dont care about the other states as it doesnt matter if we dont win ohio.
BIG win for Romney in NC. Still needs FL, VA, OH and either IA or CO FTW
Actually at this point
OH = VA = FL
Romney loses ANY of those and it is OVER. I don't think NV is in play.
Note to right wingers: Next time can we PLEASE make sure our senate candidates have clear and coherent gaffe free answers re: abortion. Those gaffes costs us 2 seats in the senate at a minimum this election over an issue that is going to require the unexpected death of a supreme court justice.
