Wow, I'm impressed. Obama is staying the course. He's a true believer and completely in denial over what happened last night.

Whoa. Obama just signaled that he's going to legislate through regulation. He just mentioned "other means" and brought up EPA regulating carbon.

Jesus. This is not a dictatorship.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Hey, he won, remember?

If the Republican have the sense not to send Palin against him - he is a one term President as things look right now to me.

Of course, given that they are the Republicans, they might just decide to give him a 2nd term and send Palin...

It's really quite sad that there haven't been any pictures or videos that have surfaced of her naked. I was truly hoping that the Dems would do a better job of digging up dirt.

They have 68,269 more votes to count. At the rate they are going, it will be tomorrow before they are done. Another update due momentarily, though.

Not until last night about midnight.

Has the Purple Pirate Party ever won an election?

Only with the tip of a sword...

We're really a one party system with two wings. Both the Republicans and Democrats, really, work to advance the Purple Pirate agenda. They just squabble over the details.

"But I don't want to be a pirate!"

"But I don't want to be a pirate!"

Probably the greatest Seinfeld moment ever. Repped!

33k ballots were "set aside" in Lane County as well, and have yet to be counted.

Here we go again!!

Absolutely. When your guy wins, it's a mandate. When the other guy wins, it's cheating.

"You" in the general sense, not necessarily you, El Presidente.

Grow some balls Minstrel (or find your inner Tom-Boy), man (or woman)-up. If you are going to address Mr. Chavez - do it proudly, admit it, say - when you win, El Presidente, it's a mandate. When the revolution comes, you will be the first with your back against the wall.

Speaking truth to power carries a lot of risks. I'm channeling my inner-McMillan and staying risk-averse.

According to oregonlive.com's results page, Multnomah and Lane counties are the only ones with significant votes left to count, and Kitz is pulling 70% from Multnomah. He's only down 11K right now, and I'll be surprised if he wins by less than that. Dudley may as well concede now.

Stupid state. LOL, let's vote in a guy who has failed miserably at the job once already.
