OBAMA - ROMNEY, doesnt really matter

the only Candidate worth voting for was Ron Paul - its a shame that Americans as thick as bleep

Yes. Another one who wants to have control over women's bodies.

It is quite extraordinary how many on the US right talk about wanting a 'small state' – until it comes to women's wombs.

If it hadn't been for the blacks, latinos, hispanics, communists, gays, 47%, Sandy and Mitt Romney, then Mitt Romney might have won.

Yeah, but the GOP had Kid Rock and Lindsay Lohan.

BTW, Donald Trump is angry:

"Well, back to the drawing board! He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country... This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy! Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before. Our nation is a once great nation divided! The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."

Moreover, you would have thought someone of his, ahem, intelligence would understand that it might have been better holding his hissy fit in until the blue states in the west filtered into the results - Obama now has a 1m+ lead in the popular vote which just makes Trump look even more absurd. It's going to be fun watching https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump for the next day or so to see if he bites at some of the mockery being thrown at him. BTW congratulations to Nate Silver; after being ridiculed by the far right for his analysis of the polls (including, you know what they're like, being derided by a veritable male model as "a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice" ), in the end his model called every single state right at the Presidential level.

A nice £1,666 for me after putting £5,000 on Obama to win at 1/3 on

When it comes to the USA elections, ignore EVERYTHING you hear in the mainstream media. It wasnt as close as the likes of BBC, SKY, CNN and FOX would have you believe at the time. The Princeton Election Consortium are NEVER wrong and they had Obama's chances of winning, last week, at 99.5%. Obama was already ahead in the college electoral college votes on monday by a massive margin but thats not really newsworthy is it.

Also, as someone on another board pointed out, Donald seems blissfully unaware of how badly ridiculously coiffed easily recognisable rich folk fare during revolutions.

Notice how when people have a big betting win they tell everyone, but nobody ever publicises their losses?

Its like after the Grand National. The bookies and the winners often make a big deal of the fact that someone has won say £100,000 on a horse winning at 20-1. They never tell you how much that bloke has lost in the previous year.
