The American voters have spoken and they want 4 MORE YEARS !
Congratuations to the Democrat contingent on here.
Your candidate won this election by about 300,000 votes in a number of key swing states. That's enough under our electoral system to give Obama the election and make it look like a landslide in the EV.
Kudos for the Obama camp for running the better campaign and getting just enough of his voters out to the polls to win. The numbers were very much on knife's edge.
Democrats probably will net 1 or 2 seats in the Senate. The Republicans have no one to shoot than themselves for losing winnable seats in Indiana and Missouri with candidates that made idiotic comments and never recovered.
The Republicans will keep the House with just about the same margin or a few seats more than the last cycle.
It will be interesting to see how a President who was elected with less of a mandate electorally will fare with the same House leadership that he has been critical of over the election cycle. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and compromise can be had. But there's a very real ideological divide in this country, so who knows?
I'm seeing Obama up by nearly 1.4 million votes and growing.
Anyway, Tender, when recapping the results of the night how could you neglect Puerto Rico applying for statehood?
