Yeah, it's definitely a tough one. I know it plays partisan now, but it wasn't just the Dems calling for the bailout at the time. Interesting how the Wall St. bailout doesn't get questioned the same way.

Who exactly in the private sector was lining up to loan them the $ to keep production running? No one. They would have gone into liquidation which would have meant many tens of thousands of jobs lost at exactly the worst time for the economy. It would also have devastated the network of suppliers that feed the auto industry. Companies that would have disappeared from the map, but now are still in business.

This is fun! You hardliners are all sour grapes, just like I expected. It Romney had won, I would have posted a congratulations to him. I would wish him well. I know you won't believe that because you in your infantile world view expect that everyone else is like you, petty, divisive, unbending. I'm only holding up this inane sentiment for what it is, a piece of 3rd grade "I'm rubber--you're glue" garbage. It takes on a special comedy value for me though, now that you're on the other side.

Why are you so jealous of the success of others? If you spent half the effort you use deriding others for their ingenuity, hard work and success you might not be so miserable when contemplating the good fortune of others.

It means he's a poor loser and an angry bigot.

The Republicans need to rethink this long-held contradiction at the core of their party: They’re all about getting the government out of people’s lives, self-reliance, personal responsibility, freedom, pursuit of happiness, etc... but they can’t keep their nosy, perverted, sexually repressed asses out of people’s bedrooms. It’s all about the evangelical freak fringe that has hijacked the party’s frontal lobe for way too long. It's disgusting and the vast majority of people don't want anything to do with that crap and they're sick of hearing about it.

Oh my God, lawyers? What are the Republicans going to do to counter this sneaky underhanded move? If only they had considered this possibility before, they could have lined up lawyers of their own. Damn those sneaky liberals. They'll stop at nothing. It's easy for them too because the Republicans are so naturally fairminded and innocent and thus unsuspecting.

If it turns out that all the mainstream polls were wrong and Romney wins, I'll let 3rdning write my signature line and I'll keep it for one year.

I voted early this morning. Good turnout. I had to wait in line about 45 minutes.

Well done. Maybe this is the year we get voter turnout over 100%

I kinda like this idea. I think it could help raise overall turnout.

I feel for Mitt a little. He gets constant pressure from his own party to always be more conservative and yet he has to constantly appear more moderate in order to give himself a chance. He's going two directions at once. In that way, he is kind of a master candidate. To cover as many bases as he has and still come off as believable... I think very few people could pull it off.

Pretty quiet in around here today. I think the Romney-philes are not feeling so confident anymore.

I think I'mma start a !@#$ing riot... regardless of the outcome. I've never done that before and I think it would be fun. I'mma loot me a !@#$ing widescreen. I'mma ride off on Ann Romney's horse too.

You should probably ask some of the job creators over on PPP?

I almost never feel this way, but I have to applaud the guy who got the hell out of that situation.

Obama Too close to call No

Romney: PA? You gotta be kidding me. That is simply delusional.

Believe me, I have no illusions about changing anybody's mind around here. You're married to it, I understand.

Christ, nitpick much? I'll rephrase it: I believe that the Republicans would have done worse. I thought that was implied by my saying I supported Obama's administration, but I guess there was still room for you to twist my meaning. I'm sorry for being less than perfectly precise.

I don't recall Obama ever saying Romney did anything illegal. He just tried to make the case that a big chunk of Romney's money was not where his mouth is, namely "U.S. investment and job creation."

It's a valid point. I just don't think Romney or another Republican could have done any better. As unbelievable as it sounds to you, I support the way this administration has handled it. The current economic climate sucks, but it was a couple generations in the making. We'll dig out of it, but it will take a while.

Oh man, that's way off. Quayle set the standard. You can criticise Biden for being a hot-head and misspeaking sometimes, but Quayle, wow! I think maybe you need to go back and revisit some of those classic quotes.
