Here we take guesses and shoot off early information on the elections, current exit polls has Obama up 7% in Ohio with voting closed. If accurate it's probably all over Romney winning without Ohio is tough but it seems pretty hard to believe.

  Susan, Florida's number are changing so fast it's making my head spin. Literally, Obama will be ahead at one point, and two minutes later, Romney's in the lead. It's crazy.

  What States would that be?? Not to mention, it is clearly not the m ajority of the States. As is usual, it is the heavily populated coastal cities voting Dem - and I have to think, just what choice do they have? Their lives depend on government assistance. Just look at the hurricane -- nobody gave a damn about being out of power for 3 weeks for the rural folks in TX and LA -- but Christie is weeping over it -- what weak kneed losers you are all.......
  
  Secession of Middle America that acually cooks dinner, knows how to cook collard greens and pork roast, knows how to make a pot of beans to feed their family for a week, really appeals to me tonight.............. not the folks who think they are owed food stamps to eat high on the hog, or on the oysters, or the shrimp, or whatever they want from a big Walmart -- not those who think they should get some cash in their hand so they can eat at McDonald's regularly -- that is what is wrong with America - those who think they should have it without working for it -- may you fit in all your blue jeans over the next decade.............

  lol Or perhaps maybe he'll start working with Congress because he wants his legacy to be one of success? Name one thing he's offered to the GOP that even smelled of compromise.
  
  The man won the popular vote by 1/10th of a percent. Hardly a vote of confidence of the American people, nor a mandate. Congressional make-up remained the same with the GOP actually holding a larger majority in the House. Again, hardly yells confidence or mandate.

  General vote is swinging further blue by the minute as California, Hawaii and Washington are counted, it's expected to end up as high as 3-4%
  
  Democrats gained more Senate seats and a Massive electoral college lead by more than a third more votes (and the electoral college is what decides elections) it's a strong win, much stronger than both of Bush's for example.
  
  Given that the GOP had everything going for them and still manged to lose hard it's pretty obvious who needs to adapt.

  Hi Josak,
  Don't get me wrong, I wasn't implying the election wasn't a fair one at all. The Electoral College is what determines the President, and it is what it is. Even at 4%, (going the high end) that is hardly a mandate. If you recall, no one, well, okay I wasn't here at Hub Pages then, but no one I talked to believed George Bush had received any type of mandate with his re-election.
  What concerns me is the automatic cuts and tax hikes looming around the bend. They need to be dealt with, and quickly, for the good of all Americans. Will the President actually reach out as he promised? Or will it just be more of the same old, "you have to do everything my way". To which the GOP will not buckle, (at least, I hope they don't because not all of the President's ideas are good ones) and then what?
