Are you also begging all the PTB in the universe that this doesn't mean the bigots are going to come out foaming and raging he's going to get hammered and swept in November?

They've been foaming and raging for the last four years. Birtherism, anyone?

Also known as, what flea said.

After the Romney event where a woman was calling Obama a traitor, someone pointed out that for him to be a traitor he'd have to be a citizen ... not that THAT's going to stop any of the nonsense.

It may well bring back lefty voters who were disgusted with how centrist Obama has been, actually. The people who might have sat out on the left.

Hee.

I posted that to my friends and 3 others of our little group all posted the same thing within seconds.

And it's been all over Twitter.

Lord, I hope so. I spent six years living under the smiling robot (tip of the hat to Nora) as governer when he was less far to the right and I have no desire to do so under the "new, improved" version.

Is your jaw dropped, tommy? Because mine is.

I just told my co-workers (my department is the leftist enclave among a religious-right company), and my boss actually clapped her hands and kind of hooted "YEAH!"

The bigots weren't voting for Obama anyway.

This. Incompetent!boss said "Well, he just lost a bunch of votes," and I said, "No he didn't. They already weren't going to vote for him."

Holy crap. About damn time, Prez.

Yeah, I don't know that it's enough, but it can't hurt.

Could possibly turn out the youth vote.

I have friends list people who are libertarian who are all, "this is excellent, both in that he's right and that it will cost him the election."

I think one could go surfing on the cognitive dissonance.

If it looks like any kind of winner, Romney will say he did it first. By not. Or something. Seriously, if people show up, he can get a second term and do *All The Things.

• This means that this is not The West Wing, so he may get stopped from Some Things. But it's not the Wire either, so he's not getting an envelope from Clay Davis in the parking lot.

Has anyone heard this pronunciation? The word is Highmark, and the lady from Minnesota is pronouncing it Hehmerk.
