I especially loved when the premature celebrating was stifled. They were just so SURE the voters and the USSC were going to go their way.

An honorable mention goes to: "Proceed, Governor" during that second debate.

I was so excited to for a second term for the President and I got to watch Romney eat a whole bunch of hubris on stage that night. The win gives the nation another period of time to clean out the house.

Whoever took that video and got it out there is the unsung hero of the election. It let the morans of this country see exactly what their so-called "leaders" really think of them.

Happy New Year, all!
