"On Tuesday, the Election night became the most tweeted about event in U.S. political history."
I don't understand why people didn't tweet more about John Adams barely winning against Thomas Jefferson or FDR winning a fourth term. It MUST be because the last election was the most important event EVER! yeah, that's it.

pilib04 - You are right. I wondered at the complacecy of the moderators who took the Ohio news seemingly in stride as Carl fumed. I also noted that Fox was first to call several of the states for Obama. It was an interesting night all around.

Marxist people of America? Whoa, get that dogger on some meds. The Democrats aren't even comparable to new Labour, let alone Marxist.

EphraimKibbey, I ended up watching the Fox network (we don't have cable) over NBC,CBS,ABC. Fox was a little ahead of the other three in terms of electoral vote and the popular vote. When they would let Rove babble on, I just switched to NBC. Fox was surprisingly good except for rove.

Eschetic - You forgot to tell them about the "Dixiecrats!" Otherwise you gave a great history lesson. Sadly today's right does not seem to believe in facts anymore. Thanks for the Megan McCain story. Now there is a REAL Republican. If she ran for something, I might be tempted back into the GOP. If Megan can't get the GOP back for the moderate (sane) republicans maybe she can start a centrist party. It should get a big membership as that is were the REAL majority of Americans lie. I still can't get over the wingnuts ousting Dick Lugar next door in Indiana. He was a sure thing for the GOP and they just tossed him aside. Heaven Forbid that a Republican politician might have a thought that did not tow the party line. Wait, isn't that what we said of the Politbureau in the USSR. Maybe we should start refering to GOP Politicians as Comrade Representative and Comrade Senator.

seanomelb - I am forever in your debt! If I had not watched FOX Tuesday night as you said you were going to do, I would have missed Carl's face when Ohio was called and the journey in search of the "traitors" in the back room.

Rather sad that you didn't mention Megan McCain (John McCain's daughter and somewhat smarter than her father) who had a wonderful quote in today's papers to the effect that "you'd better stop calling us 'RINOS' [Republicans In Name Only] if you ever want to win another election!" I think we ought to ADOPT the acronym (only as Republicans INSISTING on Newer Options) and tell RINOs to "STAND UP and TAKE BACK our party!" Maybe with bumper stickers showing a rhinoceros proudly standing on a sea of used tea bags?
I mean, let's face it, the conservative agenda hasn't *legitimately* won a presidential election since 1988 (and even THEN, had all the voters known Bush Sr. was going to stick by Reagan's unalloyed agenda as opposed to at least SOME of the one he campaigned AGAINST Reagan on in the primaries eight years earlier - our friend Bob Dole couldn't get the nomination because he was perceived as being too conservative [or had Dukakis started campaigning immediately after his convention instead of taking a month OFF!] - he might not have!).
Conservatism is NOT what genuine Republicanism is all about. From 1856 to 1960 - over 100 years - we were NOT the party of CONSERVATISM anyway (Ohio's Senator Robert Taft - the conservative wing - couldn't ever get a presidential nomination, even in the McCarty years, and Nelson Rockefeller - moderate wing - came within a hair's breath as late as 1968)! REAL Republicans were/are either radical LIBERALS or at worst moderates. The country, in its wisdom has just re-elected the best, most effective moderate REPUBLICAN President since Eisenhower - he just happened to be running as a Democrat!

Goodbye Karl Rove. Dick Morris what a clown to paraphrase him I missed this and I didn't take that into consideration. The people have spoken and as Ephraim stated move forward.

"Susan724" - My post was what is called IRONY. This is signalled by my spellings of the words, my exaggeration of the length of the words. It's a bit of a habit of mine. Possibly you, also, are being ironic? Éamonn.

PhlutiePhan - Thank God that there were more of those you call "barbarians" voting on Tuesday than those who believe in hatred of people who do not look, act and believe just the way that they decree! "Love thy neighbor won and hate the other lost. NOW - GET OVER IT! Join us in moving America FORWARD to prosperity.

@olovely--NOT--What is racist about Phlutie's post? Why is he/she not as entitled as you to post his/her opinion? What makes you think he/she has anything to do with the Tea Party? Your bias is showing and your first response is to play the race card. Censorship is the first step to a dictatorship. Is that your goal?
