FAR FREAKING OUT! Obama Wins 2nd Term in a Landslide!

[demwing]

I REALLY wanted that to be my 10,000th post, I just couldn't pull enough comments together in time...

Seriously though, somebody needs to call Harry Reid and let him know - dude's acting like Oliver Twist, begging for a second bowl of gruel.

Rock on DU.

6. YOu know what? Just because President Obama Won In A Landslide..

doesn't mean that Harry has enough Dems on board to get what he wants in the Senate. He can't hypnotize them into voting the way he wants.

Same with the damn assualt weapons ban. I read Senator Franken is not sure which way he goes on it.. It sucks. It has to be changed at ground level..starting with the Senators and Reps. Not that anyone wants to vote out Franken because he's so good in every other way.

9. I don't think Reid wanted it

He talked up a storm, then did exactly what he promised he wouldn't!

He may have done all he could, but if that's true, then Reid needs to step down as leader. If he didn't do his best, then he needs to be relieved.

We need new leadership in the Senate.

[Cha]

10. I like Harry and actually don't get into all the knee jerk reactions

going on here. Can you link me to where he said he promised he wouldn't do what just happened?

[demwing]

13. I'm on my cell and can't cut and paste

But there's a thread of Rachel Maddow laying out Reid's fail. Can anyone post the link?

[Cha]

14. That's okay.. I saw Maddow's thread..

If he didn't have the votes he didn't have them. that doesn't mean he should lose his job.

thanks demwing

[demwing]

15. not his seat

Just the title "Majority Leader"

[Cha]

19. That would be up to the Senate Dems..

and I guess the best way for you and others who want Reid out of the Leadership over this.. would be to contact those Senate Dems and let them know how you feel.

7. Well done!

I'm not even 3,000 posts yet!

8. For a moment, I thought this was a breaking news alert from CNN

Congrats!

[demwing]

11. That could take a while

CNN is still trying to figure out why Dewey didn't serve a term...

[Jamaal510]

18. CNN projects that the election is still a dead-heat tie at 51-47%, favoring Obama.

[pink-o]

21. Yup. Yo tambien...

I joined this site a long time ago, but I enjoy reading other's opinions much more than espousing my own!

[99th_Monkey]

22. Did they finally count all the votes?

Maybe they found a few dumptrucks of uncounted Democratic ballots here and there?

Congrats. So happy for your 10,000 threshold "coming out".

[Ken Burch]

23. Karl Rove STILL says it's too early to call Ohio, though.

Congrats on your 10,000 post!

[MynameisBlarney]

[onenote]

27. 61

[Honeycombe8]

28. OMG. How is it possible to look like that at 61? Gives me hope! nt

[onenote]

29. Joe is a pretty vigorous 70 year old.

[demwing]

30. Thanks to all!

It took ten years. There's been a lot of changes between the first post and the last...

[great white snark]

33. .

Major props to you demwing for thanking all. The pavement pounders, callers, drivers, activists et al deserve much more credit when victories are celebrated.

[defacto7]

31. Congrats!

Only 90,000 more to become one of the DU gods.

32. Just like I predicted not too long ago

Written by me on October 10, 2012.
ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

The end of the Republican Party/Conservative Movement/Regressive Movement is at hand.
2014 is the next step to close the coffin on this future corpse.

Democratic Party, the ball's in your court now.
What you do within the next 4 years determines the validity of the Democratic Party.
Embrace the Progressive Movement openly & fearlessly & you will be successful.

Third Way crap is over.
No more useless deals.
Push the Republicans to the margins of political thought & start repairing the damage you have enabled over the past few decades.

There's no better time than now to do it.
All the circumstances have lined up in your favor.
Do the right thing, Democrats.
John Lucas

38. Nice, johnlucas!

Sure sums up how I feel! That Third Way crap is just that: CRAP!!!!!!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. abusers will abuse. meanwhile chances of holding on to the majority look dim.

plus I'm like Harry, it turns out. They can no longer filibuster debate. If they filibuster after a bill is passed, then they won't get the majority, I'm thinkin'.

[libodem]

35. Oh, Harry, dear

Did you hear that?

[iandhr]

36. :)

[calimary]

37. Good enough!!! Reason to celebrate all over again!

Congrats on your 10K milestone, demwing!
