Insane left-wing predictions

Doesn't appear like the conspiracy came through on the whole "Bain-Controlled Voting Machines" headline. But that was just a preempt -- a "just in case" thing for a Romney win. "Racism" is always available, too, so there would have been enough outs had it swung Romney's way. I've been one of the few myLotters to want Obama out while still realizing he was going to win. Glitches and voter intimidation and lengthy lines and Mao-like murals notwithstanding, we don't seem to have fraud in elections widespread enough to effect an election outcome. The only real instance one could cite is the whole "Bush stole 2000" bit, but they leave out the part about the shady recounting practices and the thuggery. I'll let other folks give analysis of the whole event. And that the rest of the world wants to gloat is also fine. It's ironic, but it's fine. Suffice it to say that, once you break through the Electoral numbers and look at the voting percentages, not much has changed since 2008. That worries me more than anything. But congratulations are in order for President Obama. If there's a silver lining, it's that America did avoid a huge months-long mess with recounts and lawsuits and potential riots (emphasis on "potential"). In a way--and I cringe to say this--it's better that an incumbent stayed in than to tarnish American democracy by having half the country think voting is fraudulent across the board.

Four more years of Republican whining about the black Muslim, not even born in the USA is going to be the worst part of an Obama win. Perhaps myLot could have a separate board for sore losers......
