And He Didn't Even Need Ohio.

A bunch of barely related, late night thoughts

Mitt Romney ran for president for seven years and still lost to the black guy in the sluggish economy.

Barack Obama is a two-term president. Savor that one. Say it aloud a few times. Taste it... know it... love it. We are pregnant with a second Obama term and, yes Republicans, it is a gift from God.

Mitch McConnell needs to Go. The Fuck. Away.

Nate Silver needs no defending. Not from me, anyway (especially when others have done it so well already). But, next time you want to slander a decent, hard-working nerd for saying something you don't like: remember this night. Hard numbers, boring though they may be, are nothing to fear. The end of your relevancy as lazy media dinosaurs, okay, that'll be kinda scary. We still don't care.

Next time Andrew Sullivan feels like hyperventilating, he needs to toke up. And then blog at us.

However, in fairness to Sullivan, Obama now needs to explain that first debate performance. We gave you another term, dude, you're golden. Just tell us what the hell happened. A real answer--not the campaign-caliber answer you gave Jon Stewart. Was it an Ambien kick? Malaria? Just trying to make things interesting?

Karl Rove sure is funny, ain't he? And looks like "a really sad Benjamin Franklin impersonator," as my wife said. My question: has Fox always been this entertaining? Why have I been missing this? Is this where their ratings come from? Whatever it is, they can look forward to four more years of those.

Good night, everybody. I'll see you in the morning, when a bitter, entitled Mittens is still refusing to concede.
