Pretty much. Historic day the country was lost for good. Europe here we come. Four more years of suckitude and a Repub might have a shot, but if you can't beat Obama with this record good luck winning another election. At least as long as the media is in the bag.sleeper;1314571 wrote:Obama wins. Socialism here we come.

It's really not a surprise. If you like Obama's policies and positions, why wouldn't you vote for Obama instead of the white guy that holds the same positions and proposes the same policies? Maybe next time the Republicans will offer a real choice.pmoney25;1314577 wrote:yea it is over and in all reality it is not even going to be close.

Yeah!

They thought Bush was bad, just wait. No consequences for Obama, he can do whatever he wants now.
not when he can issue executive orders and have his departments do what he wants. I'll give you a for instance. Say gun control, obviously Dems would love to ban guns outright, but that won't fly in Congress. He can have the EPA ban lead bullets and other components needed for guns, presto back door gun control. If you can't get anything to shoot out of them, guns become pretty useless.ZWICK 4 PREZ;1314589 wrote:Yeah! He doesn't even have to worry about congress!
SMFH.

If you went strictly by popular vote, you give to much voting power to the highly populated areas. Though lately, it seems to back fire.ernest_t_bass;1314588 wrote:I just don't understand, D or R, how one can win the popular vote, but lose the election based on electoral votes.

Because the popular vote doesn't elect the president. The states do. Each state decides how their electors are chosen and vote. This is a republic, not a democracy. The national popular vote is meaningless. States decide how they will cast their vote for president.ernest_t_bass;1314588 wrote:I just don't understand, D or R, how one can win the popular vote, but lose the election based on electoral votes.
