I've prognosticated since the beginning of the year as to what the Fox News spin on the Romney-loss will be. And it will be three things:
__________________1 - Romney wasn't conservative enough. Obviously, this holds no water. He's pretty much running to the right of Bush for Christ's sake. But that's what they'll believe considering they think they're the silent majority. That he failed to show strong differences between himself and Obama. In John Kerry's case, this mode of thinking was correct, but certainly not in Romney's. 2 - Romney was a dull candidacy that didn't inspire anyone. This will get about double the air time as #1 and will usually be coupled with it on Fox News. 3 - This is the biggie and the most obvious. The conservatives will complain that the public is uninformed, and Fox News (of all places!) will be the ones to state this case ad nausea. In fact, I already found an article earlier this spring written by Bill O'Reilly that made that exact case. This will ultimately be their big excuse after they raise the Tea Partiers hopes only to see a huge loss in November. "It's not that the rest of the country isn't with us, it's that they're misled by propaganda!" |

Pretty much, yeah. It has been really funny watching the GOP and the Fox News types and such trying to build up enthusiasm for Romney. You know after he loses they'll eventually drop him like a hot potato and try and find someone much more tied to the base.
That Palin strippers story is just all sorts of wrong on so many levels. Ick. |

Funny thing is... I'm gonna vote for Obama again, but if Governor Mittens was running instead of Candidate Mittens, I'd probably vote for President Mittens. I'm not voting for the Big O because he's done such a good job... he hasn't. I'm voting for him because the other option sucks. |

Me too. But not even because of Mitt 'Snake Oil' Romney.
But because having a Republican President empowers those goons from the Tea Party. They will control the whole show. Divided Government (balance of power) is one thing we need that we can accomplish (or simply maintain). The congressional Republicans will have no choice but to play a little ball (see: Clinton's 2nd term). And I say this as someone that is somewhat fiscally conservative. So really, I think it's not such a bad thing to lose the congress to Republicans. What we don't need is rubber stamping lunacy via Romney pacifying those those Tea Party clowns. |

I also saw a story about some politician who just recently got arrested in...Minnesota, I believe, for being caught in a situation with a 17 year old boy. I'll have to try and see if I can hunt down that article.

I read something about that too, it was supposedly consensual (well automatically NOT with a minor) sex at a rest area. I don't know if he knew him or if it was just that anonymous type of thing. |

One plus on a potential storm in Tampa is the Occupy folks will get a much needed shower.

Well if the occupy people are there and get a shower, I hope Romney has an ironclad hair net
![]() Seriously though, it's looking bad as of this morning, lots of rain at least. I hope for the best. That east coast hurricane last summer scared the hell out of me and we were just lucky that it wasn't as bad as was predicted. I can't imagine living in a place with constant hurricane risk. |

Yeah, times like these I'm glad I live in a landlocked state. Here's hoping things calm down *Crosses fingers*.

I hear ya...but I'd rather have a hurricane season that comes and goes somewhat quickly than a tornado season, thunderstorm season and massive stretches of heat causing drought conditions and damaging fires all overlapping each other over the last 4 months.
