This was a historical election, not just because we reelected our first black President. It was historical financially, in the wake of Citizens United and the amt of money that was spent on it. It was because of the Republican party's continuing propensity to nominate, and sometimes elect, less than intelligent candidates. It was historic because of the level of bigotry and hate that it stirred up. It was historic because of the unprecedented amount of voter suppression & by the number of DOJ actions to try to control the massive suppression by partisan Red state governments. It was historical because of the 800+ mile wide Hurricane that hit the widest swath of land ever recorded & the number of people that it effected approximately 10 days before election day. It was historical because of the massive number of lies that were told by the Republican candidates, both at the GOP convention and on the airwaves & campaign trail. And it was historical for the number of flip-flops by candidate Willard Mitt Romney. I rest my case for now.
