Mitt Romney, Republican John Kerry

Welp, thought it would be closer. Thought it would be a stressful evening that could very well end in upset and instead it was practically a joy to watch. Definitely not the exciting happening that 2008 was, to be sure. Hell, I actually went with my own endorsement and voted Green Party just so I could continue to false my naive hope that a third party could actually generate that magic 5%. Not this year, while the independents, in Illinois it was Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, both garnered a combined 1.7% I can dream can't I?

Never the less, my expectation was that Obama would have no difficulty carrying Illinois without my vote and I was right (about 57.3%) as they called Illinois the moment the polls closed with 0% reporting at the time. Just like the rest of the librul media on TV I thought surely this election would drag well into the night so we we're all surprised together that it was called just after 10:00 p.m. central. Which was nice, would have been nicer if Romney wouldn't have wasted another hour and half of our time hemming and hawing about conceding...Though without it we wouldn't have had this:



Quite possibly the greatest Fox News moment I have yet to witness. It was amazing. It was not unlike when the heel wrestler gets beat by the face...It was almost a Hollywood ending...If you are of a liberal persuasion that is. It's also nice to be right once in a while as I am obviously some boob writing a blog using other, real journalist and media types hard work to highlight my own, ill informed, unenlightened opinions posted on a blogger site no one visits. Like I said a little over a year ago in my post, "Republicans Debate?" and various other times since;

He is most likely to win the nomination, at least as of this writing, and thus most likely able to maybe possibly defeat Obama. Reality is he is also most likely to be the Republican John Kerry and will lose lose lose.

 All's well that ends well. More a relief this time around than a life changing event; relief that Romney didn't win and more so that this ugly, crass, awful election cycle that has practically driven me away from playing political media writer here is now over.

I wonder how Hamster is taking it? He had a whole new look designed for this blog as he was 100% certain of a Romney win. He did not respond to my e-mail asking for his contribution to this post. Maybe another day?
