That might be the best Hungarian import I have ever seen.
I think PWI has finally found something to agree on.

I’ll go on record stating I believe this is pretty close to what the outcome will look like.
If I’m right, will smirk and snort and crank up the Schadenfreude as I scroll through my Facebook news feed enjoying watching all my liberal friends have nervous breakdowns like they did with the election of GWB back when I was in college.
And if I’m wrong. Having a wrong prediction on T-Nation is going to be the least of my worries.

Probably the most satisfying thing about the day after any election.
Unfortunately for me, I’m pretty ambivalent about both candidates this year, so I don’t even have the chance of basking in the glory of my opponents’ misery. If only Bachman or Cain had won the primary…

Agree, smh.
But I disagree with Cortes; I think that there will me a MUCH greater melt-down of Conservatives should the President win. (than Visa-Versa).
And I worry about Rush and “FoxNews”. What will they do in terms of programming if Romney wins? :)-!

Oh yes, heads will explode if Obama wins.
Either MSNBC or Fox News is going to be on collective suicide watch on November 7.

Disagree. There is as much irrational investment in Obama from his supporters as irrational opposition to him, if not more. Obama was supposed to be The One for “progressives” - he was never just a president, or even just a good president…he was always projected to be a quasi-messianic figure for American society - and he fails to win a second term, the “progressives” see a world turned upside down.

I think most of us are pretty over melting down. We’ve been doing it for four years now.
And Rush and Fox News did just fine through what was probably the most polarizing 8 years of Republican dominance since the Civil War. They’ll do just fine with Romney at the helm.

I’m with thunderbolt. Shit, a whole lot of conservatives don’t even like Romney.

I remember what happened after Clinton, starting with Florida, hanging chads, and all that mess. I was in college and ALL my friends, and professors, and, well, almost everyone I knew outside of my family, were die-hard liberals. I saw behaviors, attitudes and reactions in my college town that could only be classified as clinically insane. Over and over.
I can only imagine what this round will bring, when their messiah is dethroned.
Bush made for better caricatures than Romney. I guess that’s why they stick to the “rich old white meany” meme with him. With Bush, they had more to work with.

TB:
It could equally be argued (and has been on this site); that an Obama win would lead to the destruction of America and the Constitution as we know it; an economic Depression; millions of jobs lost and small businesses closed; Israel being nuked; abortion-on-demand; mandatory noon-prayers toward Mecca; gun confiscation; and all our school children having to Pledge allegiance to Obama and Allah.
A Win by Obama (IMO) would lead to the much-greater melt-down.

Again, we’re going to have a hard time getting too much more worked up about all of this than we already have been for four years now.
Meltdown? Whose loss is more likely to trigger a riot or two? That’s my measuring stick.

It would be extremely regrettable if riots were triggered by the outcome of this election.

This reminds me, too, of the day we learned that Bush had learned of the 2004 election. I was in a place with a lot of people, nearly all of whom were left-leaning, and many who were left-wing (not just leaning). Bush’s victory caused the same kinds of behavior you describe, and I look back on that day even now in complete amazement.
I think Libs will be more butt-hurt if Bambi loses.
In 2008, Obama won because he represented the anti-Bush/anti-GOP movement, not because people liked Obama (shit, people barely knew the former Senator of only 2 years).
This (2012) is about Obama, he ran his own show, he passed his healthcare law. Problem is, he pissed off plenty of people doing it.
Also, the GOP knows they can win, look at what they did in November 2010. Should Romney lose, they can focus on winning the Senate, and going after Hillary in 2016.
The Tennessean - a traditiojnally Democratic newspaper to middle Tennessee, the place where Al Gore began his journalism career, the paper that endorsed Gore in 2000, Kerry in 2004 and Obama in 2008 - has endorsed Romney in 2012:
It’s an interesting read for a number of reasons, not the least of which that it doesn’t gush for Romney, but recognizes the failures of Obama to do the job he was elected to do, and perhaps my favorite part:
[i]With health care, we well know where Mr. Obama stands. The Affordable Care Act probably will be regarded as his landmark achievement, and for all of the criticism of the law, it will do much good for millions of Americans.
The sad failure came in the way the bill became law with no consensus. Democrats and Republicans will bitterly point fingers to this day about the broken negotiations, the partisan posturing and the supposed cost to the American people. [b]But no legislation of this scale should become the law of the land without some meeting of minds. That is why, 2½ years and a Supreme Court victory later, the law remains at risk of repeal.
And like it or not, that failure is ultimately the responsibility of President Obama.[/b] It is he who should have insisted that the bill have bipartisan support. The well-being of uninsured and underinsured Americans clings to uncertainty because, in the end, the president used the blunt end of his executive power, albeit for a good cause.[/i]
I think this point is in credibly important but doesn’t get talked about enough, but it caused many to turn against Obama. The American electorate wanted post-partisan leadership - Obama delivered neither.
Also, this bit:
Should President Obama, as some suggested, have devoted his early political capital to jobs and debt reduction and pursuing Wall Street criminals, instead of health reform? Time will tell. But itâ??s clear whatever shaky bridges were burned in the push for health reform only emboldened Republicans to oppose his subsequent economic proposals. That has rendered much of his presidency ineffective.
This gets precisely to the issue. In addition to well-documented criticism that health care should not have been the priority, the other issue - an important one - is the amateurishness of Obama’s style of governing. Obama thought that he and the Presidency were bigger than everyone else and that he could bigfoot the process with little consideration of the political consequences. He could let Pelosi run with the bill, and he would enforce no discipline on it, and would concede no act of bipartisanship in trying get it passed (hell, he didn’t even want anyone to read it).
But Presidents have to govern with Congress, and when Obama “burned the bridges” the editorial speaks of in his race to create “transformational” policy for his legacy come hell or high water, he neutered his ability to govern for the remainder of his presidency.
Set aside his party affiliation - Obama is terrible at governing and managing the actual job of politics, and even Democratic-leaning outlets like the Tennessean realize this heading into the election.
Some funny drama happening out here in Hollyweird…
Eva Longoria re-tweeted a vulgar tweet posted by one of her followers, sparking the ire of conservatives on Twitter…
“I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney,? the tweet read. ?You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic twat.”
The Hollywood sissies are shaking in the Priuses, spilling their Starbucks coffee all over their iPads.
