Fox News just said in their exit polls that the electorate was Democrat +6, 38-32.

Looks like all the whining and complaining about skewed polls and weighted samples was just an unwillingness to see reality. Amazing.

A good thing? we're essentially finished, we get no more chances ....... the decline into Europe will be complete. Asia will now overtake us in all things over the next decade. What a sad commentary on what once was a great nation.

I wish, but the system will have to collapse before that happens (which is probably close to happening)

The prospect of 4 more years of Bidenisms blows my mind.

And Obama and the Obama loving media will label this a mandate for even more of Obama's policies when all know that's not the case.

This country is nuts.

We had to show IDs to vote at my Ohio polling precinct.

This is disgusting. The "47%" -- while the number of beggars and bums is much lower than that in reality, the idea of the "47%" remains valid -- is a fucking joke. They are not Americans. They are showing them on TV right now at a rally in Tampa or some other ghetto village and they look like they're at a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony concert (GOAT rap group, BTW). Half of them are not in shirts and the other half are waving them around their head like a helicopter. So sad.

I really do hate this country sometimes. I don't see how we have any kind of future on the path towards European model that has already been shown to fail.

No, turnout did not match 2008. It fell within the margin of error and flat toss-up area. The margin of error was so razor-thin that it probably came down to a superior ground-game from the Dems, both on election day and early voting. That and, honestly, Sandy might have been a difference maker, not because Obama looked presidential or whatever but because it pushed Romney to page two and distracted from Benghazi. And, yeah, the auto-bailout is the margin in OH but what happened in FL?

The European entitlement mentality has taken root. Get used to it.

yes, dead serious. The path towards European socialism is doomed to fail. We will have high UE, high taxes, high spending, lower cost of living. What exactly do you see happening that is going to jump start this country into a better and brighter future? More people living off the government, more people living paycheck to paycheck, more minimum wage jobs, lower hours.

Well, on the bright side business should be good for me.

As for the election, reap what you sow. If things don't get better, maybe it will actually drive a shift in the media back toward the center which is probably key to changing the culture.

I can't wait for 4 more years of the same tired bullshit that no one believes or cares being posted on Facebook. At least if someone else wins the retarded shit is new material.

I just looked on my companies website and we have thousands of jobs. There is work, the rich fat cats that have been hoping that Obama failed have to start hiring now. Watch the boom in employment numbers. People that live paycheck to paycheck always have and there will always be those that do.

Not at all. It's the minorities that gave Obama OH, FL and NV. Repubs had already lost those, and Romney/Ryan made very little headway, if any.

Karl Rove is currently contesting Fox's call of Ohio and wants it looked into how the decision desk reached the call.

Willard has no intention of surrendering anytime soon from what his campaign says, so I am expecting plenty of recounts and legal battles in the coming days. There will be no graceful end to this race.
