O won because he understood voter turnout and how to organize the people who drive his base. I was happy with the outcome as well. normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651902762232427335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-56104952030703077852012-11-09T14:37:00.978-06:002012-11-09T14:37:00.978-06:00Well, you'll love it here then.

It's been difficult for me to keep my mouth closed, especially around comments that would ensure that I would have no legal rights or ones that supported unborn children but had little concern for the living children. Those called "slackers" lost their homes and their life savings because of the last administration. Anyone, political party or otherwise, than can't take responsibility for their conduct and decisions, is not fit to be in charge. Maybe I should have moved to SM!

He is right for the U.S. and for the world. I was so nervous that instead of watching election returns we watched a Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn movie and did not turn the news on until after 10 p.m. By then it was pretty much all over and the news was great!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116003505981775253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-18066555713146274852012-11-08T11:57:13.853-06:002012-11-08T11:57:13.853-06:00Indeed!Indeed!Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-77631321155515683852012-11-08T11:12:39.878-06:002012-11-08T11:12:39.878-06:00I am with you Barb.
