 Election Results

The presidential election that took place on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 was a landslide. President Obama won seven out of eight swing states, those being: FL, OH, VA, CO, NV, IA, NH and amassed a total of 332 electoral college votes to his opponent's 206 votes. He also won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes. One particular statistician, Nate Silver , a neutral and well respected analyst, made an early prediction based on polling, and was practically 100% accurate. Also, TYT host and founder Cenk Uygur, made a prediction in September 2012 that practically mirrored the election outcome. To me, the most entertaining part of the election is not that President Obama was re-elected, for which I am thankful and commend him for, but the continual internal bickering and seemingly eternal finger pointing of the Grand Old Party (GOP). Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris of the Fox News Channel say that conservatives have lost the country.Carl Rove, the Grand Poobah the GOP, and perhaps the person suffering most from bubble vision ,was the most distraught over the election results.The GOP is spiraling out of control, and are out of touch on issues most important to their constituents. I sincerely hope they remain entrenched in their bubble, and continue to adhere to 19th century conservatism.
