Romney's closing words: "Tomorrow is a new beginning.Tomorrow we begin a new tomorrow." Well, if you septics vote for that... you'll get what you deserve.

It sounds so much smarter when Stephen Colbert says it.

Yeah, I saw that last night. Colbert was kissing his face for being such a numbskull.




I <3 James Carville so much.

Based on simple math, the only way Obama can lose is if the GOP cheats and steals the election, again.

and... cue Karl Rove discussing said event on Fox News...

Thank god.

Congratulations, Mr President.

This'll be interesting. Mr. Obama takes the Electoral College votes, but (so far) Mr. Romney takes the popular vote. How the GOP handles this will be a real test of character. I seem to recall in 2000 (and was it 2004?) they were less than gracious when on the other side of the equation.

Electoral vote on West Coast and some swing states not in yet. Wouldn't shock me if this is a larger Obama win than it looks right now. Regardless, anyone who doesn't take the Obama political team seriously is deluded.

Hunker down Romney.

Ooo! At this moment CNN is now saying Obama has the popular vote too (though only barely).

Also, proud to be from Maryland tonight.

I'm glad Obama won.....New Jersey is usually a Blue State, so we're never targeted as one of those swing states to watch.

Congrats on the 2nd term!!!!!!!

Good....I'm glad this won't be something to argue on.

It sounded even better when Andrea McArdle sang it in the orphanage in Annie.

Ah! That's where it's from. I had a vague idea it was from Xena Warrior Princess.

And I thought it was from Cabaret...

Anyway, well done, USA.

Though looking at the political maps gives a strange feeling. So used over here to thinking that red is the good guys and blue is the bad guys. Politically, at least.

This may be wasted on you Americans, but some English people find this funny.
