Or:

skullkrusher: Smallest margin of victory since Carter (and Bush but a negative margin of victory is undefined in this context)

Obama is the first President since FDR to win re-election with more than 50% of the popular vote.

So depending on what facts you choose to highlight it's either a huge deal or not decisive at all.

now, how many CEOs are going to lay off their entire company just to stick it to Obama?

Before the Rove meltdown, they kind of threw Romney under the bus and blamed him for not campaigning during Sandy. So the loss wasn't a reflection on the party, just the terrible candidate. Then i had to turn the channel. No more Fox for me until 2016.

Interesting recap, but I'm sure this will be featured prominently on The Daily Show and Colbert Report this evening. That's all the Faux News I care to watch.

Four more years of Barack HUSSEIN Obama, biatches. Deal with it.

YouAreItNoTagBacks: Not seriously, blues, folk, punk, bluegrass and the occasional hip hop and no.

Guess it won't work out but I'll admire your drinking tastes nonetheless. Nice to know there's another one out there.

Satanic_Hamster: skullkrusher: this has nothing to do with my ill advised overconsumption of caipirinhas and pinot noir last night. Smallest margin of victory since Carter (and Bush but a negative margin of victory is undefined in this context). A win, not decisive. Giants beating the Bengals 35-28 is a win but it's not a decisive one. A win is a win is a win. There are different types of wins. Not sure why this is controversial.

Was drinking this last night:

Huh...I was drinking Big Daddy IPA and Angry Orchard apple ginger cider.

You may be the only other person I know who likes hard cider and IPAs...can we be drinking friends?

Dusk-You-n-Me: Obama is the first President since FDR to win re-election with more than 50% of the popular vote.

Democratic President.

My mistake.

Cletus C.: I was laughing until this:

Ed Henry, reporting stone-faced from Obama headquarters as it erupts in jubiliation: "The crowd is near pandemonium now, despite the fact that unemployment is hovering near 8 percent."

That's just asswipey.

Better, from their "Obama wins" article last night:
"This will be Obama's last election, or so he claims."


skullkrusher: Fox's graphics were FOOKED. I was going between MSNBC and FNC and I literally had no idea what was going on when I watched Fox. It wasn't a deliberate propaganda thing or anything, they just couldn't get their shiat together in terms of displaying info

That's one thing I don't understand; I have a serious disrespect of Fox News, but in 2008? Their election map both on their network and online were top of the line, several orders of magnitude better then the other networks. Their online one especially made the other networks look like a Geocities page. This year? It was crap. Didn't they save any of the code/formats from 2008?

tforbes: i'll never watch that partisan hackery after a random clip of people dancing in Kenya after they called it Obama.

In their defense, BBC also did Kenya.

zappaisfrank: My Conservative friends are all still in resistance mode..

"We are SO SCREWED"..seems to be the general consensus.

Live in Texas. There's barely been a mention of it at work. These are the people who couldn't go one day without trashing Obama at random about ANYTHING and not a single damn mention of it. It's like the election didn't even happen.

skullkrusher:

It's the very definition of "decisive".

"Settling an issue; producing a definite result."

Whaddya know, you're right! The fact that he won was decisive! You're still a moron

Oh, skully, this comment just isn't up to your usual standards.

Thoughtful, reasoned discourse doesn't sell. Rush and Rupert will continue to lead the GOP in their march to irrelevancy. Next stop: THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS.

Jackson Herring: keylock71: Delicious... as anticipated.

Not as good as all the whining coming from my "conservative" friends, though. Most of them are in the acceptance phase right now after freaking out last night.

It was the media's fault for calling the election too early for Obama, apparently... That swayed over two million Americans on the west coast not to vote for Romney. Seriously, this is what one of them is saying. ...Along with the usual biatching about the Electoral College, of course.

That is a seriously bizarre facebook exchange.

Yeah, I'm just going to let it go... He's a good guy, and usually fairly rational, but I think he's letting his emotions get the better of him this morning.

FeedTheCollapse: I'm kind of amused by the degree in which the Republicans were caught surprised by Obama's win. They didn't just think he'd lose, but they thought the EV count would be reversed in Romney's favor. Hell, even though I was disappointed as a Kerry supporter in 2004, I at least knew going in that the race was going to be close either way.

My sister said she was "stunned" that he won and by the margin he won by. Then of course she said she didn't understand how he could win when the past four years happened with our country in a giant shiatter. Mind you my sister has a great job, lives in a nice house with a two car garage and has it pretty good.

She is deep in the bubble.

Delicious... as anticipated.

Rwa2play: *sigh* Today is just going to be...FUN.

shiat it already is.

NateGrey: Glenn Beck is having a funeral on the radio right now.

lol

*sigh* Today is just going to be...FUN.

Rush's monologue will be especially awesome

Paging Weaver95, we need your dulcit tones to elaborate for us how close Rush is to a heart attack stat~!

Karl Rove being escorted from the Fox News Studio:

Raharu: A lot of money went down the rove hole this year.

This got some likes on my FB page:

"Completely on the level, I have to thank Sheldon Adelson and the Brothers Koch for stimulating the economy so much through their shady but ultimately legal campaign financing shenanigans. Many local media stations, advertising agencies, production houses and talented creative staff thank you for your donations. We're so glad you poured millions into a losing investment!"

that bosnian sniper: Okay, I missed Krauthammer but Rove exploding like a water balloon full of rancid shiat on a summer day was nothing short of delicious.

You gotta link to a clip? I need to see that.
