So no one on Team Romney reads Nate Silver, huh?
Well, that article shows there were some fairly good reasons for them to believe they were gonna win. But then those reasons turned out not to be true.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm always amused by the cyclical "What number am I!" discoveries.

....maybe I'll have second breakfast before I actually start working. FWIW, I've done at least as much so far as I would have done in the actual office.
Boehner and McConnell refused to take the President's call on Election Night.

Uh, are you allowed to do that? I don't think President Bartlett would let them do that.
I looked through that site of Romney's supporters and campaign workers mourning and I do feel sorry for them. I think they chose wrongly, but my heart goes out to them for being so sad and distraught. And I heard about the staff credit cards being cut off - that's just tacky. Also petty and mean; I'm assuming no one thought through what it was going to mean for people trying to get home afterwards - hope no one needed to take a plane home from the campaign - but it seems of a whole with the inability to think through what something means to people who don't have a lot of money to fall back on. Or even enough cash on hand for a cab ride.
I just signed up as many times as I could for the lottery for inauguration tickets. And then I signed up my husband under our other address.

The level of disrespect is unfathomable. Who else on the planet would do this other than Republican members of congress?
And that there are still stories about how shocked, shocked! the Romney campaign is that they lost. I'm still enjoying those.
It leaves me momentarily guilty how much I am enjoying it. Will they actually learn anything, or just play the blame game forever?

Heh, Dana....
I don't think I've ever looked up my number before! I must have been grey on the WhatsMa#! sessions...
I DO feel empathy for a lot of Republicans emotional response; I remember being fucking DEVASTATED by W's wins (even though I am STILL pissed about "Win" #1) but I am NOT sorry that Obama won, because I think Romney/Ryan were factually, research-based horrifying candidates for any even mildly moderate person to contemplate. Mod Repub OR Dem.
This is not to say I am entirely gloat-free. I am SO not that good a person. I restricted myself to 1 REALLY funny sic on FB about the electionin general.
(But I will post as many HELL YEAH MARRIAGE EQUALITY pics as I wish, because I don't feel badly about people who are against it at all. That goes completely against my beliefs and I don't care whose delicate baby feelings get hurt.)
I'm number 6.
I am not a number, I am a free - oh wait, I'm number 20.
