		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Just not buying the media line of piss poor ground game by Romney. What gets me is that a lot of people who are normally skeptical of what he media reports and says are buying it hook, line and sinker.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It is coming from so many non-media source you can drown in them. Typical consultant run operation, typical consultant developed technology.  Not all consultancies are the same, mind you. Some have really exceptional personnel with great delivery skills, except it appears that those did not end up working for Romney]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;It wasn’t the election day turnout that mattered; it was the early voting turnout that the mattered. Being able to get hidebound, base voters to the polls 4-6 weeks before Nov. 6th is what democrats have mastered.

Early voting crowds were the whole point behind the vicious demagoguery in Obama’s ‘kill Romney’ strategy.

Which ledes me to ask, why even bother having an election ‘day’ if states can enact early voting??’

It&#039;s who counts the votes that matters.  You can program a computer to do anything with numbers and that&#039;s all voting machines are, they&#039;re computers subject to the same infiltration and corruption of data as any other computer is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I&#039;m not buying any of this.

The media and talking heads really do seem to have an abundance of post-election memes going right now don&#039;t they? It&#039;s almost as if they&#039;ve know for some time what the outcome would be, and had plenty of time to draw them up and co-ordinate a fast and furious roll-out.

We&#039;re being Rick-rolled folks.

Or should it be &quot;folks&quot;? It seems this is a word that&#039;s come to have a very flexible definition, as it can be used to describe American citizens worried about the price of college tuition as well as RPG-toting Islamist terrorists attacking an American consolate.

&quot;Consolate&quot; - another word with a definition that has become very flexible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anecdotal - I was asked by the McCain/Palin campaign to go to another state to help out in the week before the election (on my own dime). That office was managed atrociously by a rude young out-of-state college kid but there were local and out-of-state volunteers helping out. I was never even contacted by Romney/Ryan except for up to three mailers a day asking for money. That is all...]]></description>

While I have no proof of undercounting of Romney’s vote totals, especially in sing states, there’s plenty of circumstantial evidence and most should be able to figure out know what that is.

No, there’s no evidence.

I can see the idea of people’s short-term interests aligning in a way that makes a certain outcome more likely — the hot new meme on the left is that the GOP was mis-served by a conservative media “keeping the people in crisis mode” to drive hits and ratings, and distracting the movement from what was really going on. 

What I can’t buy into is the idea that it was coordinated in anyway. Too many egos and too little discipline.

On Paetreus, I’m having a hard time seeing any up side for the Obama Administration in forcing him out. As long as he was working for the Administration he was never going to do any real damage during testimony, and he was a great brand name warrior for the Obama people to point to when someone called them squishy on terrorism. 

Not to mention good at his job.

A Spanish Company with ties to George Soros tabulated the votes for approximately half the states.  Couple that with what were told by all media outlets about high enthusiasm by republicans to vote, and I&#039;m very suspicious.  

You can believe what you want and based on your past postings most know where you stand anyway.]]></description>
