When the subject is the extreme things the GOP is doing - and even you have to admit that preventing women from accessing birth control is extreme - the subject dictates the post.

Yes. The extremists, the "Muslim Kenyan Socialist Communist" Bachmann-West-Mourdock-Atkins folks lost. The liars, the Fox News liars, lost.

You think that thi election proves something? it proves nothing except that far too many people see only what they want to see.

The election was a "landslide" according to all the Romney people that thought he'd be on top with over 330 electoral votes. It was Obama who got the "landslide", however. Exactly as the multiple rational poll watchers - and not the crazy right wing reality-deniers - predicted. Every swing state but one.

Obama won the popular election by a little over 1%. That is an awful lot of people who were willing to ignore the attacks and scare tactics and still vote him out.

Popular vote still being counted, but this mornings total is

59,621,436 Obama
56,989,709 Romney

That's plenty significant in a Presidential election. Especially as on the evening news, Obama's win margin is now over 3 million votes and still rising.
