Lol, was watching the HQ footage of both parties. Democratic HQ supporters looking diverse, old, young, white and minorities etc. Republican HQ? White, and that's all.

If you want to know why you lost, and why you'll never win without bringing minorities into the fold and change your message to adapt to a modern world, look no further.

Breaking news, Republicans hoping for Ohio (Ohio put Obama in the clear) recount.

Gl with that, try doing the same in Virginia and Florida (both undeclared but looking like they'll be called for Obama)

What they are afraid of is that "minorities" are actually the majority. They're scared to death of this fact.

Quote
What has happened to this place?
I don’t recognize it anymore.
It used to be so fun and special.
What is life worth living for?
The dream is dead, our land is gone;
There’s a hole in my heart and I can’t go on.

There are too many minorities (minorities)
At my water park (my water park).
This was our land, our dream (our dream)
and they’ve taken it all away.
They just keep coming and coming (minorities).
I tried to go and tell the police,
But even the authorities
Are minorities
At my water park.

There’s no place for me to sit anymore,
And the lines just keep getting crazier.
There are Mexicans all around me.
The lazy river has never been lazier.
It’s a 40 minute wait to go down one slide,
And the instructions are in Spanish on the Zip Line ride!
(Guarden los brazos y piernas dentro del paseo)
Just do it in English!

There are too many minorities (too many)
At my water park (somebody do something).
Where did they all come from?
Why can’t they leave this land alone?
And it’s such a tragedy (feel a bit like dying).
We looked the other way too long.
We’ve got to change our priorities
And get all these minorities
Out of my water park

(Minorities) Mexicans and Asians,
(Black people), I think I even saw Native Americans (gross).
God I’m asking please, get all of these minorities
Out of my water park (my water park).

Lol It's exactly like that. Poor Republicans, having to put up with people who look different to them.

Also, the supporters being interviewed by the BBC atm are so super drunk, it's hilarious to watch them slur their words.

And if you absolutely must say things like 'legitimate rape' or talk about introducing mandatory vaginal probes, don't do it on an international platform in the run up to the most important night of your career. Shout that shit into a pillow or something.

That too, I forgot to mention that they need to realise that women can vote now, and not just women in the south who might vote Republican no matter what.

At Os

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/29/us-abortion-virginia-idUSTRE81S0DR20120229

They tried to pass a law that anyone wanting an abortion had to have a mandatory vaginal probe, that provision was taken out before it was passed.

Hey brainwave! Require all Republican candiates to have an anal probe before nomination. It's important for the electorate to be assured that nominees do not have their brains up their arse.

Quote
Donald Trump is not happy with President Barack Obama's successful campaign for a second term. The real estate mogul and reality show host took to Twitter to express his displeasure, launching into a screed against the Electoral College and broader Democratic process Popular vote totals at the time of his tweet showed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney with a narrow lead over Obama, with votes still left to count.

In a later tweet, Trump called the Electoral College, which allowed observers to call the election for Obama at around 11:12 p.m. on Tuesday night, a "disaster for a democracy." Twelve years ago, many Democrats would have likely agreed, as a hotly contested race in Florida gave the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush, who lost the popular vote.

Well, as it stands the popular vote is 49.2% Obama 49.3% Romney, but California hasn't been counted, and California is 100% Democrat, many urban areas and New York haven't been counted either, so Trump is a liar and Obama will win the popular vote by at least a percentage point.

EDIT: Now 49.3% for Obama.

Anyone interested in the sheer numbers

Mitt Romney said earlier today that he hadn't written a concession speech, only a victory speech. Is this why he's delaying his concession speech? It looks like he's going to do it in the next few minutes, would be funny if he demands a recount, especially since Virginia has just been declared Obama.

Somehow I doubt his speech will be as gracious as McCain's, apparently the CNN's Candy Crowley was properly booed at Republican HQ earlier due to the debate she chaired where she 'helped' Obama. The mood is very, very ugly at Republican HQ, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more stories like the peanut ones from the RNC.

Yep, he'll dust himself off and be fine. Not a bad speech. Too bad we never got to know the real Romney, was he the 'moderate' governor, or the tea-party stooge, or just the voice of the rich? I don't think we'll ever properly know. Not that it matters, even the best Republican candidate is still part of the Repubican party, which really needs to do a deep soul-search.

Anyway, well done Mr President. Unlucky Mr Romney. I'm going to bed.
