he has a vacation home in utah, which he won.

and don't think the republicans won't fight to the death in the one place they still have control - the house.

I think this is a key moment -- progressives need to make a lot of noise over the next month, so Congress & Obama don't sell us out to the Republicans. This is not the time to sit back and wait for the Democrats to do whatever awful, accommodationist thing they will do if they think we are busy getting ready for the holidays and no longer paying attention.

"The man who loves data"????? Where the fuck did that come from?

@1 That place really is spectacular.

"...a campaign in which the opposition accused him of being a cannibal."
While skimming the quote, I assumed this part was about Obama.

I wonder what GDfR would've said about this. I really miss him.

Guess I'll have to wait until Supreme Ruler of His Basement weighs in, & be content with that.

I thought he lived in La Jolla. How many nights has he spent in Belmont over the past five years? Not many.

I remember him speaking in Belmont. He said something like, "Ann and I were born here, we have birth certificates to prove it". Haha. Apparently the locals didn't find that humorous.

A shame of this past election was that Boehner ran unopposed in Ohio. Seriously?? No alternative for anyone in his district that is sick of his orange glow on the tv screen?

@3:

If I were Reid & Pelosi, I'd be sitting down with their respective delegations right now and mapping out legislation to restore middle-class tax cuts the moment the Bush-era cuts expire; make it publicly know that this is going to be their strategy, and then challenge the GOP to get on-board.

Let Boehner whinge all he wants about the "lack of bipartisanship" this represents, but fuck him; we've seen what GOP bipartisanship represents for the past four years - basically saying "Nyet!" to any legislation that doesn't fall 100% in line with their own political agenda - and we know what he means when he says "the President must reach across the aisle", namely, that the GOP isn't going to lift a finger to seek compromise from THEIR side, so let's just put them on-record now as either being willing to provide tax relief to the middle-class, or else watch the whole Bush tax package disappear completely.

What EricaP said @3. Time to start being vocal about raising taxes and cutting corporate welfare.

@15 Sigh. That means turning out in force to vote in the mid-term elections, too.

I imagine he pissed off quite a bit of people in Belmont when he kicked them all out of the polling place so that he and Ann could cast their votes in private. While all those people got back in line and waited another hour to vote, I'll bet more than a few of them decided not to vote for the guy who just displaced them. Isn't it a tradition for candidates to wait in line with other citizens to vote?

Loved Gail Collins piece when I read it yesterday, it was a laugh out loud moment when Romney's loss was compared to that of an accused cannibal.

And yeah, if I'd been kicked out of a polling place, and forced to wait another hour in line, I'd also be tempted to vote against the Plutocrat in question, even if he were from my party.

No complaints along the same lines when Obama voted.

@16, yes, but we can't wait two years. The Democrats think we're fast asleep. They think we're enjoying our victories and planning to go shopping for xmas presents. They're going to fuck us over if we don't raise hell during the next month.


Please wait...
