Anything other than politics??

I called an Obama win by 2-1 in electoral votes and it looks like I'll be right. Wonder if I could have made any money in Vegas on that prognostication??

The South was Red (McCain) and the North was Blue. Racism and Jim Crow outdated concepts? I don't think so. Seems like maybe we haven't come as far as a country as we would like to believe that this election brought us. I'm not sold on our "racial maturation".

Loved Jesse Jackson's fake tears being so prominent on the news. It was only in July that JJ said he wanted to "cut his nuts off". Can we not have him in the public eye anymore?? What a joke he is.

Forty-eight states give all of their electoral votes to the popular vote winner. Two states, Nebraska and Maine, split them up. Why can't more states do that? It makes so much more sense and when an election is close in the popular vote, you actually WILL have incentive to stay up and watch returns......plus more incentive to vote.

You need 270 electoral votes to win, this is the only day you'll remember that by the way, but there were at least five viable scenarios where each candidate received 269. So what happens in the event of a tie??

First, the vote goes to the House of Representatives, but each STATE gets only one vote. They have until March 4th to get 26 votes for one candidate. The Senate then selects the vice president while the house is wrangling over the president. There is not time deadline for the Senate however. If neither position are resolved by Inauguration Day, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi currently, would leave her post and be the acting president. Shudder. When the vice president was decided upon, and March 4th passes, they would become the new president. Good stuff.
