PS: It looks like Allen West is demanding a recount after some fishy number changes in his race ...

Quote:Late last night Congressman West maintained a districtwide lead of nearly 2,000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections ‘recounted’ thousands of early ballots. Following that ‘recount’ Congressman West trailed by 2,400 votes …

The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office clearly ignored proper rules and procedures, and the scene at the Supervisor’s office last night could only be described as complete chaos. Given the hostility and demonstrated incompetence of the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, we believe it is critical that a full hand recount of the ballots take place in St. Lucie County. We will continue to fight to ensure every vote is counted properly and fairly, and accordingly we will pursue all legal means necessary.

Not sure what exactly happened, but apparently the Supervisor's office might be coming under heavy fire now (depending on what the words "chaos" mean) in West's regard.

Elizabeth Warren...Really?

I don't know what to say about a state or electorate that would elect a lady who has lived a lie as her life. She is not trustworthy but people think she should be a senator.

They elected time and again a guy that killed a woman. So she was a saint by comparison.

That should leave the door wide open for a qualified centrist Independent.

Except he'd have no money unless he plugged into one of the major party money machines. And he couldn't get through either party's primaries if he did that.

They need - need - to get Generation Y and Hispanics into the mix to remain viable or they'll continue to see once solid-red states get gobbled up by blue, one by one. Their current image is one of Palin, Bachmann, Perry, Santorum, and Huckabee, as well as some congressman spouting off about rape, pregancies and God's will, and ready to bomb away in the Mideast at a moment's notice. I understand the broadbrush isn't entirely fair what with most MSM being ideologically against you. But there is some truth in the stereotype that's been building.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again, GOP. Less focus on who shouldn't be marrying who, long-form birth certificates, pontifications on rape, feeling insulted at "Happy Holidays," and so on; and more true championing limited government.

Obama didn't win this election as much as Romney lost it. No incumbent has won reelection with an unemployment rate this high, not to mention a staggering debt. Some people even on this message board said long ago that Romney was the GOP's John Kerry: A flat, empty suit with slick d0uchey hair and too many platform shifts. And credit the Dems for painting him as an out-of-touch 1%-er. Doesn't matter if Kerry, Gore, the Kennedy family, etc, are filthy rich aristocrats.

I'm glad I voted for neither. The rigidly inept Tea Party right vs. the 'Occupy' entitlement left.

That was great. Most of these posts are.
