I don't believe that Romney didn't have a concession speech...

I'll keep this short...I have no proof...but I'm tired of hearing this meme that Romney was so confident that he only wrote one speech.

Consider the man who made the claim...this is the guy who proudly ran his very first anti-Obama ad that suggested that it was Obama saying "If we talk about the economy, we lose" (When in fact, he was quoting McCain...a teensy omission)

Nope, this was just the last in a series of lies; an unprecedented number of lies told by Mr. Etch-a-Sketch himself. Has there ever been a campaign based on more lies by any one presidential candidate?

Now, he took his sweet ass time to finally deliver the speech, but you've got to believe that it was already written. It made it onto the teleprompter (yes, teleprompter!!) without difficulty...and had enough thought behind it that it was obviously not slapped together at the last minute.

I believe the extended time he took to deliver it was simply because he was hoping against hope that Rove was right about Ohio...and he wanted to give Ann time to compose herself.

"140,000,000 Door Knocks and Phone Calls"

I just got off a post-election volunteer conference call led by Mitch Steward with a message of thank you from the President. Mitch mentioned that though all the states haven't reported their final numbers, we were "north of 140 million door knocks and phone calls" to register folks, talk about the issues and GOTV. 140 million!

Though I wasn't able to travel to battleground states this year like I did in 2008, I was able to make phone calls...both from our local office here in Illinois and also from home..using that awesome electronic system. The system even emailed me on election day and asked if I could make some more calls to folks in battleground states to ensure they had voted. When I said yes, it fed me the names, numbers and my script.(Don't tell my boss what I was doing on election day at my desk).

Take that, project ORCA!

If you helped with even one phone call or donated even one dollar, thank you! We really dodged a bullet...Romney would have truly been worse for our country than Bush.

Thank you...thank you...thank you!

Sasha cares about the 100%, too

Just a quick thought...I noticed this Tuesday night and am glad that someone pulled the video into a short clip...see the link below...
...Sasha noticed the incredibly enthusiastic supporters behind her dad and coached him to turn around and acknowledge them.

I can't express how proud I am of the entire first family.

How Right was Nate?

Now that we've had two eerily accurate presidential forecasts from Nate Silver, I wanted to document just how accurate he was. We all know that he was 50 for 50 states and though the votes aren't all in yet, he also came really close in the popular vote. Below the fold, I have a chart that shows his final Nowcast compared to the actual results and the differences for 13 of the most competitive states...my thinking being that these are the states which had representative samples of polls...though I could be wrong about that. By the way, this is my first diary so be gentle.
