Wahoo! I am so proud of my state (and county) for going blue. Just called Colorado.

^I agree! There was no perfect choice, but to me, human rights are so much more important than the economy...

Wonderful, we can all sing cum buyah together, when we run out of money and china calls the note.

[Montanas_Girl]

Honestly I don't understand why people think Romney would have been good for the economy... MAYBE for the short term but not for the long term, and not for most people.

Oops! Accidentally gave you a thumbs down when I meant to hit the thumbs up button. Darn touch screen!

CNN Republican analyst: "Now it's time for all of us to remember what this is all about. And that's about leading our country to a better place. So now I think it's incumbent for Republicans to be as gracious as they were passionate about this election."

We would be better off with Obama not in office. Obamacare alone was a reason to try to fire him. I'm personally not going to work with people who are trying to pass things that I think are damaging. I'll work on my own, individual to individual, to ensure that I can make a difference on some small level because I don't trust the current president to do so.

For what it's worth, that's not how you spell it.

I can't believe this nation is so stupid. Four more years of debt. Yay

well nobody makes you borrow--so don't borrow.

I'm happy he was re-elected, I voted for him both elections. I'm even more happy that the god-awful Romney/Ryan team will not be in office.

"One thing I have noticed among my friends, acquaintences, coworkers and family, though: People who care more about money tend to vote Republican, those that care more about people vote Democrat."

Way to be a gracious winner.

[Simkie]

Could these guys just get to the speeches, so I could get to bed? Want to hear what they both have to say, but come on guys! It's getting late!

[stolen virtue]

Romney just called Obama. I think Romney is a good guy just not a good leader.

[stolen virtue]

What a lovely speech from Romney. Great man thank you Mr Romney.

Edit: spelling

[saje]

Hes's certainly intelligent, and a damned good speaker and debater. He's obviously a successful businessman, and he seems like a really nice guy. I don't hate him, but I'm glad he wasn't elected, because I do not think he he had the backbone to stand up to the wacko element of his party.

[Rubyfree]

Romney's concession speech was classy and concise.

Forward, y'all.

[stolen virtue]

I agree saje, but why not stand up ? I hope we have our GOP party back in 2016.

Yup. Let's move on.

[Beentheredonethat]

I wish EVERYONE would follow Romney's lead and act like an adult, be gracious, and start to work for a better future. I think those of those who voted the other way would have done nothing else.

[Anne FS]

I'm happy! I live in one of the most conservative states and though I knew my vote wouldn't do anything to offset the overwhelming majority for Romney, I'm glad I took the 3+ hours that it took me to vote.

Thank you for voting! Every vote mattered.

[Anne FS]

For what it's worth, that's not how you spell it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Too funny, BLBGP.

[Simkie]

I agree saje, but why not stand up ? I hope we have our GOP party back in 2016.

Because he just wasn't the guy. He was a terrible candidate.

I would have considered voting red if the republicans had brought out a better option. I don't think Obama has done a good job--I certainly don't think he did what he promised the first time around. But when you bring out a guy who is SO polarizing and against basic human rights, then I'm going to choose the lesser of two evils.

[saje]

Well, *I'm* not likely to help the GOP, since I'm a dyed in the wool Democrat. But I sure would like to see a more up to date party with fewer 15th century planks in their platform.
