Or, alternatively, people realized that certain governemnt functions like disaster relief are better left in the hands of people that actually place competent people at the top of FEMA instead of using it as a dumping ground for washed up political consultants. | ||

The Senate wouldn't require a census, would it? But yeah, the perhaps they would just keep their nonvoting delegates, or would it be constitutional to give them some temporary status in the House? | ||

No one takes them seriously anymore. Democrats show up they win. Obama is going to try to pass immigration reform in his 2nd term. It'll be great to see Republicans fighting him on that. Keep losing that Hispanic vote. | ||

This election highlighted the stupidity of the EC system more than ever...good luck Mr. President. I hate politics...there's no fucking transparency :/. Yep.. I knew weeks ago, just based on many collections of EC polls, that Obama was pretty much guaranteed to win. On one hand, democracy doesn't make sense when EC is used, on the other, EC are probably actually educated and qualified to pick a proper president moreso than 99% of citizens | ||

The house is so uncompetitive it is very hard to move ether way. Dems will start chipping away at it if the reb keep up there party of no but it is just going to take awile. | ||

You can say they are dead but they are still a majority in the primaries and thats all that matters. It is the sole reason that doing immigration reform will be so hard. Not to mention they will make argument that the only reason they lost is because Romney isnt a "real" conservative and might move further to the right. | ||

To the Democrats and Liberals around here congratulations on having the President win re-election. Hopefully this time he's serious about getting input and working with the other side to actually get the problems in our country fixed. I didn't vote for him either time but four years ago I hoped he was successful and tonight I hope he is as well. Here's to also hoping that the GOP listens to some of us and moves into governing more than campaigning. This doesn't mean I want us to give up our core values of smaller and more efficient government and personal liberties but it's time to give a little to get a little and to recognize that personal liberties shouldn't mean that you get to impose your morals on other people. Thanks to all for a fun night. I said it at the beginning and I'll say it now, I <3 election night! | ||

the guys at http://election.princeton.edu also were pretty much right on the money, as the underlying data was pretty good after all. the aggregators pretty much clustered around 300 EC for obama | ||
