Honestly, I hope they stop him from doing to much. The less the Federal Govt does the better.

Tell that to the people in New Jersey.

Florida with 91% of the voting and almost 8 million votes in...there is only 16,000 votes separating them...too close to call for sure

[DCIronman]

Hmm. I believe that the fat lady is warming up gentleman.

[DCIronman]

Ohio to Obama. It's over folks.

Goodnight!

[DMV]

DAMNNNNN This XO taste Good!!!!!

[knotty]

Looks like Obama has won once again. The race is over.

[curiousdude]

I hope The GOP will put down their weapons and work together for the good of the country and not party. They don't have to worry about him running again, so give it up

If only O could put down the Commander-in-Chief's big weapons, and not start any more new wars, and end the ones we're fighting now, as he has by and large actually fulfilled most of the 2008 campaign promises......of McCain...Maybe during the next four years, he can fulfill his own promises of 2008....and finally be a moderately liberal Democrat after all, rather than the compassionate conservative (as Richard Dreyfuss has rightly called him) he has been during his first term. Then Obama would truly be a bipartisan president - one term Republican, and one Democratic.

[SrSuerte]

Presidential election don't matter, especially with the GOP keeping the house. Nothing will get done because they have no incentive to cooperate with him. If Obama wins say hello to another stagnant four years.

Some of them are up for a vote in two years in the Senate and all of them in the House.

Saw the popular vote totals as of 11:30pm PST and Obama and Romney were separated by about 700,000 votes nationwide out of over 106,000,000 that had been tallied. But Obama got the battleground states to get the electoral votes needed to claim victory. But as it was so close, he can't claim a mandate.

Half the nation is happy and half is pissed. The Senate stays Democrat and the House stays Republican. Kind of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Maybe we are two Americas.

Republicans lost it from losing the hispanic and women vote. If they cant figure out how to get those 2 back next election they will lose again...

the countrys changing demographics is happening fast. latinos are only getting bigger and bigger power.

Well, they never had either one of those demographic groups, so they wouldn't be getting them back exactly. But yes, the R's have lost even more of their appeal to those two groups, and would need to expand their base somewhat in one or both of those groups, and perhaps with young people as well, if they hope to win next time. On the other hand, they continue to solidify their hold on three constituencies that make up their base of support - the three R's of the rich, retirees, and ____ (I can't say the third one here, but it's a compound word that begins with red )*

I'm just glad all the voter suppression attempts didn't affect the outcome, although reducing the early voting period in Florida has obviously had an affect down here. If things were hanging in the balance and we were waiting for Florida like during Gore vs Bush, we might be in trouble.

[Dave Diaz]

Marijuana just got legalized in the States of Washington and Colorado with Amendment 64. Now we don't have to go to Canada and Amsterdam

Oh yea and Obama won too.

Smooth, you know I love you man, but I gotta laugh at all these pundits saying that Obama doesn't have a mandate.

The system is based on Electoral Votes. The man needed 270 and it looks like he's going to get 332. 332 Electoral Votes sure seems like a mandate to me. If you tell me he won by less than 300 (for example I had him at 290 max), then I can give credibility to that argument. But saying that, yeah he won, but he doesn't have a mandate because the popular vote is close is not a credible argument in my view.

In any case, the projections after California, Washington, and Oregon are done counting is that Obama will have around a 2% Popular Vote win. In 2004, Bush used the same popular vote margin and a much lesser EV margin to declare an "overwhelming mandate". The mandate talk is always intelligently used by the right wing. When they win, they have it. When they lose, the other guy doesn't have it. Unfortunately the Democrats haven't learned to adopt that language yet.
