Election Results

Jon Stewart should always call it. I loved it last time and this time was just as good.

My mom was relieved because "because at my age, I just can't take that level of disappointment."

She was in the minority for her age. Over 55% of those 65 and older voted for Romney.
80% of White Evangelicals voted for Romney which makes me sad...like this is why people tend to hate White Evangelicals.

Romney may still win the popular vote and then, we will all be humbled.

Democrats will be forced to admit that Bush was the rightful winner in 2000.
Republicans will be forced to feel exactly how we felt back then.

Both of us will have to admit that the electoral college works and, in cases like mine, that God really does put the rightful ruler in their place until God chooses to take them out.

Edit: LOL It turns out my mom and I are both in a different kind of minority...only 40% of Whites voted for Obama. Didn't the media claim last time we were "post-racial" ?

That said, I suspect there will be lots of constitutional amendment proposals to eliminate the electoral college.

I suspect this will be the case even though Obama won the popular vote.
