Seriously, guys. This election sucks. Nothing is changing, neither side is making real progress.

Nope. She handled the role with superb grace and humility and has been awesome on every other role.

But she was a so-so Becky at best. Too cute and optimistic for that role.

Yay sitcom talk!

I'm gonna call it now, Obama wins it. Doesn't look like Mitt is capable of gaining the ground.

If you backread I called this since day one and I still stand by my words of eating my hat and crow if Obama isn't elected.

Either way our economy will see a huge dip, a slight gain, and then it will all be about leveling things out. We are way in the red and will continue to be there for at least another eight years.

Not that I'm pessimistic, just being realistic.

Yes, but I remember you backing it up with Obama's position on that gay stuff in NC a year or so back. Turns out gay rights really had no measurable impact in the end, even though he didn't need their help.

I most likely read that. It just doesn't look like Romney will be able to clinch the swing states. I know I mentioned it before, but we need to respond to the approaching fiscal cliff. The only way is to cut spending, and more responsible with our spending. To think that our national debt exceeds our annual GDP is simply hilariously depressing. I know the two share a limited relationship but I'm using that simply as a comparison. It's a tough decision, but we'll either have to raise taxes to pay off our debts (highly unlikely), or have to make cuts, and the only difficult decision is to pick between Social Security, Medicare, or the Defense Budget.

You must have a better memory than I do. I'm hoping all I posted was something close to "Obama wins or I'll eat crow".

"Gay stuff" in CA, yeah. That matters. "Gay stuff" in NC only mattered for the NC reps.

This is what you said, in reference to Obama's support of gay rights and whatever Romney said about them at the time:

Watching these elections is like watching a horse race.
