LOL! Your mentality is a perfect example of why the GOP lost this election. By all means, keep throwing that sort of rhetoric out there. It makes our job sooooo much easier. It's not enough for us to say you guys are ignorant and hateful---we need you to PROVE it! And given the chance, you guys can't help yourselves from doing exactly that.

Why do you believe 'bmitchell671' is REALLY a "white, conservative, straight, christian male"? Can you think of a better way to discredit actual white, conservative, straight, christian males?

Obama Wins by Going Negative and Turning Out Base

Lukewarm. That's the feeling I get from the election numbers.

Turnout was apparently down, at least as a percentage of eligible voters. The president was re-elected by a reduced margin. The challenger didn't inspire the turnout surge he needed.

Every re-elected president since Andrew Jackson has won with an increased popular vote percentage. Barack Obama didn't. He won 53 percent to 46 percent in 2008. His numbers as I write are 50 percent to 48 percent over Mitt Romney. That could go up to 51 percent to 48 percent when California finishes its count, which took five weeks in 2008.

Obama owes most...
