Oh hay, Obama just remembered what global warming is!
Well he has four years to do something to solve a problem that we have known about since what, the 20's?

Suddenly I wish Mitteh Kitteh had won, just so that he stayed a significant figure and we could make more jokes about him.

Oh I'm sure he won't just vanish completely.  We'll always have the memories, and I'm sure this campaign isn't the last ill-advised thing he'll ever get a billion dollars spent on.

Someone has to carry on the Trump legacy.

Judging my his twitter account, Trump intends for that someone to be himself, preferably with sword and pistol.  I can't wait for his next TV show.

I'm still awake, waiting for Puerto Rico to finish up.

It's kind of funny how anticlimactic tonight was. After six months of the Republican primary insanity, followed by the conventions, the debates, and the final scramble to get those last few voters, we watched for three hours to confirm what Nate Silver had already been telling us. And that was it- considering what hell could have happened- voter fraud (but probably not), recounts, an electoral/popular mismatch, it went through remarkably quickly, and it feels, now, like not much has happened. (That is, of course, because nothing much has happened; we've had almost no change in the makeup of Congress, either). 2008 felt historic and pompous. 2012 is historic- having once decided we want to put an African-American behind the highest desk in the land, we've decided we're gonna stick with him. That's as historic as putting him there in the first place. But it doesn't feel it.

I don't know, McCain and Kerry have pretty much vanished completely.

It shows you didn't watch Obama's speech. That was awesome.

Yeah, but they lacked cults of personality (well, beyond the cult you need to enter politics anyways).

Mccain is still often cited as a military-centered republican. But that may just be me.

so, Who knows any Arch-Conservative websites for me to watch frothing angry people?

Decent speech, guess it's time to hit the hay.  Should be interesting to see if the democrats pull an upset in any of the three senate seats still in the air.  We could end up with democrats actually gaining in the Senate while republicans gain in the house despite the democrats being far weaker then 6 years ago and the republicans being far weaker then 2 years ago.  Madness.

I was about to respond when it hit me like a sack of doorknobs that somebody just described Mitt Fucking Romney as having a cult of personality.

Yeah, he's gonna disappear like a fart in the wind by the end of the year, never to be seen or heard from or spoken of again.

Since when did Romney have a personality?

See, now nobody will ever make the joke about the Republicans having their hand so far up his ass they called him 'Mit' ever again! The world is truly at a loss!

I can sort of see Romney having a cult of personality... relatively speaking at any rate. With John McCain I could barely even remember the man's name even during the height of his campaign.

(On a related note, I think it was a mistake for so many of the anti-Republican attack ads to refer to Mitt Romney by name. You don't want the people to know the Republican candidate's name)

I misread the quotes above me and thought Donald Trump.
