No, you're not.

Or at least, you weren't. Now you've forced me to seriously reconsider getting on that bandwagon.

Can someone re-explain the "popular" vote?

Does this mean that only 52% of the country voted for Obama, thus not actuall making it a landslide?

It's because the majority party gets the whole state. Which is pretty damn similar if not worse than the direct popular vote.

Haha, those videos are awesome but a bit retarded, especially with their "yeey!" rock-on salute at the end :P

Obama won NC today, two days late but it's still pretty cool that he could take three Southern states.

Wow, that's a massive achievement. 3 States of the former Confederacy voting for a black president. Then again his father wasn't a descendent of American slaves but native peoples colonized by the British.

The nazis have never been strong in the US, the KKK just aint what it used to be, and the Republican party is in such shambles right now that honestly, I don't believe they can successfully pull off a good old-fashioned vast right-wing conspiracy without mucking it up.

If anyone tries to assassinate Obama, it's probably going to happen a la John Lennon, some lunatic fan trying to "immortalize" him.

The funnier clip is when Cameron says all of that on O'Reilly, and BillO tries his hardest to defend the indefensible.

That's what I'm saying Shifty! I do object to her religious beliefs, but those don't completely disqualify her from public office. After all, our country was founded on the idea of Free Exercise of Religion. Huckabee is similar, Jindal is Catholic, but one of the crazies who participates in exorcisms, Romney is freaking Mormon, but all of them have brains. The Republican Party has a real problem here, because they can win elections on lower taxes and less government. There's always going to be a place for those ideas, and they will win elections. But the divisive personality politics with no substance behind it is going to be a massive failure if the Republicans keep trying to do it. That map is just going to get bluer and bluer. Missouri still isn't blue, Arizona still isn't. West Virginia went red. I have to feel that if Obama is white and McCain isn't the nominee, the Democrats would have taken those states as well. Tennessee and Arkansas are in there too. Republicans have a lot of work to do. They need real intellectuals, not the Pro-Palin doofuses.

Montana and North Dakota are trending blue too.

What I can't even fathom is how journalists are talking about a Palin run for 2012. Some are even asking if she can "resurrect" the GOP. Are they out of their f*cking minds? Palin makes Shifty Quayle look like Blaise-f'in-Pascal.

There was a meeting of key GOP figures today to discuss the party's future strategy. I can only hope topic #1 on the agenda was "How can we kidnap Sarah Palin, chain her to a giant boulder, and drop her into the Mariana Trench?"

Then again, she'd probably survive because she doesn't understand how buoyancy works. Defying the laws of physics, she would swim to the Alaskan shore and then complain that the elitist ocean was being unfair to her.
