Romney retakes the lead in Ohio, but Obama should take Virginia, Florida, and Nevada...enough to win anyway.

But the people listen to the media and the media answers to the one party system. The 70% feel no sense of empowerment.

My takes:
1- Romney loses, so I'm happy. Would've been happier if both Obama and Mitt lost, I will admit. The etch-a-sketch and the GOP hacks got what they deserved for the railroading of Paul and the liberty movement. I say that about the vote both for revenge, AND for love of God and country.
2- An Obama second term means he and the Democrats get the blame for the economic upheaval, austerity nightmare and currency collapse soon to come. It means the Democrats lose LOTS of seats in the 2014 mid-term elections, and the way is clear for a liberty Presidential candidate in 2016.
3- We can start a meme that 'the neocons killed Mitt's chances' and point out his belligerent posture in foreign policy lost him votes with voters (especially women) weary with war and empire. The future lies with non-interventionist candidacies and policies, not with more invasions and bombings of brown people abroad.
4- Rand Paul's gambit paid off. He took a big hit with the movement over his half-hearted endorsement of Mitt, knowing he would likely lose. Now Rand can make his move in 2016 with insurance created by that compromise, and has four years to fortify his own record as a principled statesman, to make it up (as best he can) with the grassroots before he sets up his Presidential run.

Being the alarmist pushing the buttons of Danger, Terrorist, Muslim, More Military Spending, Save Israel, overthrow governments, etc flags are a great threat to our freedoms and liberties at home.

And that is why I have always advocated a Liberty News Channel to counter "the system." Compete against Fox. Compete against CNN and MSNBC. We can win many of their viewers over because we offer something for everyone - freedom. It won't happen overnight but the unbrainwashing has to start now. There is a third way out there for people. We can take over the Independent Party. We can combine the Libs and Const. We can start a new party called the anti-Socialists for psychological marketing reasons. Gotta start thinking out of the box. I am not buying we have to work within the Republican party that doesn't want us.
Romney lost because PA was winner take all.
Obama has 281; take away 12 from PA and 10 from OH = 259; add 9 from CO = 268
that doesn't even count MI and WI

They're going to be in for a shock.
this is a great idea. put Judge Nap in charge, give Ron a show. if they can find funding for Atlas Shrugged a new channel (or buy an existing channel, and change it) is not impossible.

Romney saying he's cutting children's programs like HEAD START etc while saying you're going to increase military spending with more overseas sabre rattling, just a vote killer. DOD budgets have gone UP 11 straight years, it's outta control.
Christie will be primaried next year. Paul Ryan is done as a national figure. Bush no chance
Rubio is the one to watch. what about Ted Cruz? first term Hispanic senator
is Ted Cruz more viable than Rand?

It's ridiculous that we finally get/are getting out of two 10-year wars, and the first thing the Republican candidate does is say he wants to increase military spending by 20%.

I don't know why I am so filled with joy. I can't stand Obama, yet his win, the win that I always knew was guaranteed with someone like Romney for the other option, brings me such joy. The tears of all these SOBs that turned the GOP convention into a farce, rather then a display of delegates' will makes me laugh with that evil revenge laugh.
