For real.

It amazes me how people were more "intrigued" and being slaves to the state by state account of the electoral map AS it was being tallied as opposed to know coming in states meant more and the election being in the bag months ago based on Romney not being able to pull the states needed to win.

You had people like "Its 140 to 153 for Romney!!!" :to:

:laugh:

the election was sealed when 2 things happened: the debt got downgraded & osama was killed

Though I 100% overestimated the capability of Paul Ryan. Dude was so out of his league. That entire campaign was out of their league. Biden rocked the show though. We gotta give credit where credit is due. Biden helped rally the emotions and the debates got us back in a frenzy.

bayonets :heh:

this ain't battleship :heh:

a lot of quotable from those debates

SMH @ anyone thinking Obama wasn't gonna be a 2 term president when he got elected on 2008. I'm not saying it was gonna be automatic, I'm saying people were sadly mistaken if they thought Obama was content to cruise into a second term. As if he has no grasp on the historical significance of his presidency in America.

Yeah if you study presidential history for the past century or so, nobody with his scale of accomplishments whether you agree with them or not (benchmark legislation on the economy, banking system, healthcare, energy, education, foreign policy) has ever not gotten re-elected. It was clear to see he would get re-elected off the strength of what he got done his first year in office.

Some of us have been saying Willard never had a chance for months and didn't shyt our pants after the 1st debate.

@Robbie3000

@IGSaint12
@Rain
@mastermind

I know there's plenty more, but I can't remember everyone.

Some of yall nikkas threw the electoral map and arithmetic in the bushes talking about cacs gone cac. Guess what? Cacs did cac...at 62%. And they still lost. :russ:

But for future reference all you need for projecting how presidential elections will look is...

-The real clear politics state poll averaging electoral map

-Nate Silver da gawd

@Higher Tech never dropped an ounce of sweat. I predicted a blowout.

I'm happy to be wrong in '12 just like I was happy to be wrong in '08...


I'm over 30 and from the South...I have a lifetime of skepticism that will never be erased...



I still can't wrap my mind around the concept of white people that are willing to vote against their own interest for the greater good of the country...


:ehh:


But I'll take it....

You can't be serious?

My boy s a reporter out in Missouri and was greeted with this at a GOP Watch Party he covered in Lee Summit, Missouri.

It's a doll of President Obama, lying in a coffin with a sign that says "Rest In Peace."

:beli: The point is we weren't overconfident, we were just accurate. If anything I was underconfident because I picked FL for Romney.

fool you had a 50/50 shot. Accuracy my ass.

I'm not saying i even doubted, i'm just saying patting myself on the back for guessing correctly is hardly what's hot in the streets.

(apparently finding a circle jerk gif is harder than one might expect...)

NO....it was LAST NIGHT.

I'm saying that wasn't something made in reaction to the election. that was what they were hoping the outcome (Obama losing the election) would be LAST NIGHT

50/50 shot? The election is decided by the electoral college not the popular vote, idiot. :snoop: Obama was always well ahead on electoral math. This is the type of ignorance I'm talking about. I see people still haven't learned. Lol@guessing. It's arithmetic- Bill Clinton.

you had a realistic 2 choices, your simple choice was 50/50.

I wonder why Obama even jumped through the hoops, he should have just come here and you and the circle boys could have told him not to worry he had it on lock as far back as 08.
