And he whooped Romney's lily-white rich-boy ASS!
Make no mistake: this was an embarrassing whipping. Romney got his ass handed to him. The republicans were NOT expecting this. They're already trying to figure out how it happened.
Mr. "I'm so confident I don't need a concession speech" (HA HA!) just learned a thing or two about how to make God laugh (tell him your plan).
I am so happy right now.
I want to see Ryan do his pouty face. Are there any websites with Ryan's pouty face? How about Romney's?
Oh, and have you guys seen this?

I'll check that vid out when I get home. Don't miss the vid/link to Gawker I posted in the "Off topic section. It's priceless.
And agreed - RomneyBot got schooled. As did the entire conservative establishment. They're still completely befuddled about the losses, even today. They just can't seem to grasp that most of the American electorate is not rabidly about "me, myself, and I".

I also think it's refreshing that so many Americans rejected the GOP's Ayn-Randian "live and let die" philosophy. The 47% were not pleased with Mittens' attitude towards them, and they demonstrated that to him in the polls.
Can you believe they lost Florida, Ohio, AND Colorado? That must have stung. Wow.
Somewhere, some GOP wonk is writing a little book for presidential wannabes, with an entire chapter on how to keep stupid and/or offensive opinions to yourself. The chapter could be something like "How to talk your way out of the White House (Why Wouldn't Mitt Shut the Fuck Up?)".

Personally, I expect they're simply going to double down on the stupid next election, because they REALLY BELIEVE in their ideology over facts and reality.

God I hope so... They'll lose by an even BIGGER margin. I checked out a conservative meltdown, by the way. Was it you who told me about it, or someone else? Here's a link I found online (probably NSFW due to language): gawker.com/5958673/unhinged-conservative-youtuber-goes-on-priceless-drunken-hyper+rant-over-obama-victoryHoly cow, what a horrible woman. She demonstrated the worst traits of the least encultured of our Hillbilly class... But that was SO funny... I loved the part where she started yelling about how we should all "get off the internet", as if we're all misusing it when we use it to gather knowledge and communicate with one another, and do positive things like re-elect a popular president. I should send her an email offering to build her the rednecky internet of her dreams. It'd be a two-phone-line BBS whose operating system UI is littered with misspellings and bad grammar. Heh heh heh... I wonder if she'd notice the difference?

I'm very happy with the results including most of our local races. One local race that is too close too call is for the Erie County Controller. I'm afraid that the winner may be a former reporter for our NBC affiliate which is anti-public employee and has no experience expect for name recognition. I don't live in this district, but Chris Collins who is a tea-party favorite won against Kathy Hochul. I was hoping that she would have won. Collins was one of the worse county executives that Erie County had. Very arrogant and demanding. Like W. Bush, it has to be his way. Screwed his county employees.

Here she is ResX: Techie - yes, that is exactly the video I was talking about. From what I've read about her so far, she's lives in a trailer in a rural town in Nebraska, and"owns" a "dog grooming" business that she does out of her home, which to me, translated, really means she's unemployed and on welfare of some sort - the exact kind of person ("takers) that conservatives like her are always bitching about. Now, someone should tell her to "get the fuck off the internet!" since she obviously failed in her objective to get Romney elected.

wny:
Take heart - Collins seems to be the exception to the rule for tea partiers this year. Many of them were actually voted out, not in. For example, I have taken great pleasure at seeing Allen West get the boot.

Eeeeesh. She looks like a guy! She has the same hairstyle as ME! (shudder)
Ok, that's it, I'm growing it back out again. Last year, I had one of those "Mad Men" haircuts, long and swept back. I'm going back to that style. I'm tired of the short hair thing. Long's better. At least I don't end up looking like a conservative lady!
Oh, by the way, here's the original Korea-pop video the "Mitt Romney Style" video was based on:
The video is making fun of poseurs and social climbers; apparently Gangnam is Korea's equivalent of Beverly Hills. People from there never say they are, so when someone says he's "Gangnam Style" he's revealing himself as a fake. So the video basically makes fun of people pretending to be rich and classy when they're not.
Fun stuff.

Oh jeez - now I'm not going to be able to get Gangnam Style out of my head until I fall asleep! Thanks for that! SNL did a great skit based on Gangnam Style a month or two back. It was hilarious. I especially loved the part where Nasem Pedrad stuck her ass out - besides being extremely funny, she has a GREAT ass. I know, I know. Shameless male pig comment... LOL
