Delaware Liberal

After his victory speech, President Obama tried to call both House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "but was told they were asleep," the New York Times reports. Bull. Fracking. Shit. McConnell was awake writing a petulant statement that was released to the press that early morning. And Boehner was on his third pack of cigarettes that hour. Seriously, they were not asleep. And they refused a call from the President because they were sore losers.

The last time the Republican Party won a Presidential election without somebody named Nixon or Bush on the ticket was 1928. It is likely that Hillary Clinton will win the Presidency in 2016 and extend that streak to at least 2020, or 92 years. Election Day, Tuesday, November 6, 2012 was Delaware Liberal's busiest day in its history. We got 15,339 page views, topping the previous record set on the Thursday after the 2010 primary when the nation decided to visit Delaware Liberal to learn about the wonderous Christine O'Donnell. And we are one or two months away from our 5 millionth visit.

Public Policy Polling took an early look at the 2016 presidential field in New Hampshire. The firm found two clear frontrunners in the race: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for the Republicans and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democrats.

So that there be no revisionist history on my part, here were my predictions. Overall record: 37-3. Come inside for what I got wrong and what I got right.

"If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Ignoring the ground game in favor of burning $390 million on TV ads may not have exhausted the resources of wingnut fat cats, but it has ruined the reputation of alleged genius, Karl Rove.

"The billionaire donors I hear are livid," one Republican operative told The Huffington Post. "There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do … I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."

Before heading back to the White House on Wednesday, President Obama made a stop at campaign headquarters in Chicago to address his campaign staff after Tuesday night's big victory. The president teared up as he expressed his gratitude for their support and dedication to the reelection effort. This is a powerful video. Made me tear up.

At around 6:30 p.m., as I was driving down to the Queen in Wilmington to meet my fellow DL and Democratic compatriots to watch the results and hopefully celebrate our victory, I was listening to MSNBC on XM, and one of their reporters embedded with the Romney campaign said that Mr. Romney had only prepared one speech for the night, a victory speech, while President Obama had prepared both a victory and a concession speech. Now, when I heard that, I thought it was pure puffery on the part of the Romney campaign, yet another attempt to project strength and momentum in line with what they had done the entire campaign. Of course Mitt Romney, a prudent businessman, would prepare for any eventuality, and that meant that he and his family and his running mate and his running mate's family, and of course his campaign... all of them... would be prepared for any eventuality. And that means preparing two speeches and being emotionally prepared for a result one way or the other. But, as we learn from this stunning CBSNews article, that was not the case. They really believed their own bullshit.
