ES's Offical 11/6/2012 Election Results Thread (DISCUSS THE RESULTS HERE)

Hopefully tonight will be a wake up call for the current direction of the GOP.

It's pretty simply for the Republican party moving forward - adapt to science and society, or else.

they're winning across the board in the house. They're going to dig in deep and hard and fight.

So much for the "Redskins Rule"

Skins fail at EVERYTHING

Ezra Klein ‏@ezraklein
Early to draw political lessons, but if you're a GOP candidate and you've got a theory about rape and abortion, maybe keep it to yourself?

[SkinInsite]

I am. I voted for Obama in hopes I can quit my job and get dieselpower to send me a check

I just hope the other 53% can make sure I can still live in luxury.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Majorly dissapointed, but I hope the President does better in term 2.

Good luck President Obama

[Corcaigh]

Nope.

What will keep any conservative out is that the country has changed from a do it yourself society to a "get somebody else to do it and cut me a check" society.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Has no meaning to a majority of the populace anymore...which is sad.

I help run a small business making software products here in the USA. The Romney campaign couldn't have been much worse in appealing to people like me.

[Heisenberg]

Maybe by 2016 I will feel like I have a choice between candidates . . .

. . . or maybe the GOP will march out Paul Ryan so I can run to the polls to vote for whatever Dem that is running.

Glad to see Barack carried DC...Bush didn't, and I thought, "Gee, when your neighbors want you gone..."
I see a big opening here. People still in line damn near everywhere. And not leaving. They've run out of ballots somewhere, I can't remember where.

A Republican carrying DC would be like a Redskins fan ever cheering for the Cowboys.

Will never happen.

Dear republicans, stay away from abortion. It hurt your party tonight

[Jumbo]

maybe when they dig in and fight we can use some of the same strategies you use in combat on those in trenches.

@ Palin on Fox News.

I missed it. Please share her wisdom.

Christie/Rubio 2016

The fat guy from New Jersey and the sexy Latino from Florida.

[zoony]

Haha, now Sara Palin is being interviewed in fox. She's ranting about our founding fathers and how Obama is ignoring them.

She also cannot believe that the majority of Americans believe more debt and less competition is good for America. I miss you Sara, please come back into our national consciousness.
