QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2012 -> 06:16 PM) All except for the biggest legacy problems not being solved... Didn't the uaw take over legacy health care costs? Either way, it's better than the liquidation and collapse of the domestic auto manufacturing industry that was the only alternative.

Private financing simply wasn't available at that time. It would have been a bloodbath.

Another giant cry-baby CEO, this time it's a local one! I know people who work or worked at this company and they've done quite well over the past 4 years despite getting a similar email in 2008. The CEO also has a gigantic home with a multi-store basement that includes a basketball court. But probably no bowling alley thanks to NOBAMA!

Occupy Wall Street is buying distressed houses and canceling the debt. Finally something actually meaningful. Too bad the government didn't just do that with HAMP or TARP http://rollingjubilee.org/

Buzzfeed takes a look at what the electoral map would have looked like at different stages of enfranchisement in US history. 1870 (Traditional American vote) 1870-1920 (minority male vote, but no womens' vote) 1920 (only white men and women because of poll taxes, etc.)

It appears that they were "unskewing" their own polls by assuming the electorate was going to be something that it wasn't. They refused to believe what the data were telling them. Absolutely no one who was paying any attention at all should have been surprised by an Obama win on Tuesday. Was it a sure thing? Absolutely not, but multiple reports indicate that the Romney campaign was in disbelief as the results came in. All of that stuff on Tuesday afternoon that Soxbadger was nervous about? Romney "expanding the field" by going to Pennsylvania? Only writing a victory speech? They did it completely earnestly, not as a bluff.

Romney and Ryan were supposed to be "numbers" guys, right? Business experts and policy wonks. So why where they so shocked to lose on Tuesday when all of the numbers were telling them exactly what was going to happen?
