I take some pleasure in finding I have been wrong, because it’s an opportunity to learn more. As I prowl through the 2012 election statistics I will have an opportunity to learn much more about America and where we are today. A nation dissatisfied with the results of a Democratic president, Democratic Senate and Republican House has decided to return a Democratic president, Democratic Senate and Republican House. Lots to learn for all of us.
Indeed.
I don’t know what happened to the Tea Party this fall, but this will reenergize it for 2014. And there are a lot of Democrat Senate seats up…
The Republic is lost.
Ben Franklin weeps.
We now get to look forward to four more years of watching this narcissist.

OK, that was a little overdramatic. Let’s think about how to take a beating.

OK, the Romney campaign is not yet conceding, and Karl Rove is risible on the call.
…so we can see just how much worse it can be.

Spite and revenge is the new “hope and change”:
For Obama, this entire campaign has felt like revenge against Romney, and against the kind of people Obama thinks Romney represents. Obama could have spent the last several months talking about his own record and his plans to change direction from our current economic stagnation that has kept the level of employment in the population at or near 30-year lows. Instead, Obama approached this election as a personal mission of revenge, and left the door open for Romney to present the only vision of change for the future in this campaign. Romney defined his campaign as an expression of love rather than revenge. So what Obama said on Friday was no gaffe. It’s just the obvious takeaway from a relentlessly empty and negative campaign.
But he’s “likable.” I guess.
Are the Democrats trying to steal Pennsylvania? It’s what they do. It’s who they are.
Also, will Chicago declare victory early to demoralize Romney supporters? Of course they will.
Some thoughts from Bob Zubrin.
“Ambassador Stevens didn’t die because the White House had a bad night. He died because the White House has bungled North Africa. Would that it were all that they’ve bungled. As I wrote earlier, get ready for the next war, regardless of what happens tomorrow.

Actually, it’s not the next war. It’s just the next battle in the current ongoing world war.
Better get ready for it. The misnamed clash of civilizations (because there is nothing civilized about them) is going to continue until it is resolved, one way or the other.
This was never going to end well.
