- Although this will be election intensive, I just saw that former UT coach Darrell Royal has died.
- Now back to the election: How many times have I said it? It's all about demographics.
- And if you think the Republicans might have won with a more conservative candidate, you're nuts. Gingrich, Santorum, or Perry would have been destroyed.
- Wise County went 82% for Romney.
- This is amazing: Romney got 56,974,934 total votes last night. Four years ago, John McCain got 59,934,814. That last number would have been enough to beat the President last night.
- No one was more wrong than pundit Dick Morris who had been all over the place predicting a Romney landslide. Well, that goofy "Mad Money" guy Jim Cramer might have overtaken him by predicting Romney would win 440-98.
- Those polls that everyone criticized were exactly right.
- From a Wise County pastor on Facebook last night: "I'm done with America. I feel no allegiance to the USA anymore. We'll see about Texas. This world is not my home, I'm just a'passing thru. My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me from heaven's open door and I can't feel at home in this world any more! Maranatha!"
- Trying to explain the Electoral College to a Fourth Grader is amazingly fun. When States were called for Romney or Obama last night, she wanted to know how many "points" it was worth.
- Mark Davis ended his radio show yesterday with an on-the-air prayer about the election.
- And to remind everyone: I predicted that the Rangers wouldn't win a playoff series and that the President would win re-election.
- I can't find a number for straight ticket voting in Texas or Wise County last night. Anyone?
- Colorado and Washington legalized pot last night. It's still illegal federally. That'll be interesting.
- I was right about hearing something had happened to an Alvord coach. He committed suicide. How many does that make for that little town?

Alvord people spill it, why did the Alvord coach commit suicide? Was it bullying again, or was he about to be arrested for something?
Haha I told you he would be back in office! What is with people thinking this is the end of America..that is crazy ignorant talk! If the repulicans had a better candidate they might have won.
Talk about the banana splits . . .
CRAP! Four more years of watching our conservative congress sit, pout and do nothing to work with the WINNER. Admit it damn it, the republican lost. Now put your big girl panties on and get to work to make some changes.
Fox news is killing the Republican Party. You have a bunch of aging white dudes walking around spouting the same talking points. It is a big echo chamber. They keep repeating conspiracy theories and chatter about "socialism."
Meanwhile, the rest of the country works hard to make their lives better.
Jim Cramer predicted Obama would win in a landslide.
"I was right about hearing something had happened to an Alvord coach. He committed suicide. How many does that make for that little town?"
Why? Are you and your 4th grader keeping score?
8:37-Poor lead off comments. Thoughts and prayers with the Alvord staff and students.

BREAKING NEWS:
At approx 11pm last night, a giant mushroom cloud was seen in the vicinity of Wordkyle's house.
82% of Wise Co can suck it! I'm going to Colorado, WOO-HOO!!!
I only have a few questions: if and when will Obama stop blaming Bush for everything and when will he begin pushing the senate to repeal the 22nd Amendment?
Four more year: for the haters and bigots to post on this blog!
Angry white guys aren't going to cut it any more regardless of how many PACs they create.
You don't get women voters by intruding on their reproductive rights.
You don't enlist minorities by passing Voter Suppression laws aimed at those minorities.
You don't enlist mainstream when you let the Tea Party crazies win your primaries.
Pray for Sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell disease is much more common in people of African and Mediterranean descent. It is also seen in people from South and Central America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Nate Silver made the GOP his bitch.
Best comment from last night:
"The only thing keeping the Republican Party going is their unreasonable hatred for a black man."
I see the nutjobs are starting a new conspiracy theory that Obama will repeal the 22nd Amendment.
Keep it up!!!
Republican party- adapt or die
All of America lost yesterday.
51% are too stupid to understand it right now.

"Those polls that everyone criticized were exactly right."
Hey...Republicans! It's called Math and Science, you should look into it.
If you were a little more willing to accept scientific facts and research data, you might learn how to make our world a better place. Or, at least you might understand why you lose elections.
Well, guess my white childrens will be moving back home after college. All the jobs will be in China, but hey, WTF, at least my family will all be in debt together.
Get back to work white folk.
You aint gots time for this blog no more. Millions of us is waitin on govment cheks!
Gloat all you want people, but like I have said before, you cannot pay for all the government freebies without any jobs to fund government. I am actually glad he won because now we will see his true colors, his true ultra liberal agenda, and his extreme radical persona will emerge.
Why you people have such hatred for folks that work hard and build lives and families is beyond me. You seem to only support things that are destructive to individuals and society.
I wonder of the guy running for county surveyor of Wise county is out of the job before he is sworn in since the office he was just elected for was eliminated by another option on the ballot.(?)
Do you show up, get sworn in, THEN let go? Or do you just get a call that says....you can save us all some time and just skip the swearing in ceremony thingie?
Republican party- adapt or die
Ill die, but I am taking you mfr's with me!!!

If you've ever read any of my posts you'd know I'm far from a republican. I also love how you didn't address my point about our president blaming Bush for everything. I'm not saying he's going to, but the guy signs executive orders like autographs, so an attempted repeal wouldn't surprise me at all. I'll make the point again that I tried yesterday which nobody wanted to touch: by voting for Obama, you have said you are completely okay with the fact that he ordered the assassination of a US citizen without a trial by jury or even charges being brought.
Wise County really is filled with 82% of the dumbest people on the face of the planet.
Think about this 82% that voted for Romney are in the bottom 46th in education. 65% of those 82% are on some type or dependent on social services within the county and these folks voted for a candidate that wanted to cut those?
Only in good ole Wise County !!
852 - You guys have a severely distorted mental picture of my state of mind. Last night the Democrat party won an election. It wasn't the triumph of better ideas, superior policies or more enlightened voters. Democrats managed to get more votes, and that's all last night says. Of course I'm disappointed and discouraged. I believe 59 million Americans made a mistake, and that either intentionally or out of sheer incompetence Obama will make America a worse place to live for years to come. I hope I'm wrong and everything turns out peachy. But if I'm right, 59 million apologies will be worthless.
I blame Bush. Seriously.
If he had chosen a young, dynamic VP the Republican party would have had a candidate ready to go. Instead, we got nut-jobs and Mitt "socialized medicine was great when it was my idea" Romney.
AND when the Republicans were in control of the house and senate they did NOTHING to deal with insurance reform. THAT alone would have preempted the Affordable Healthcare Act...
Hispanic, blacks, young women and 100,000 million on government assistance gave the Democrats the White House last night for 4 more years.
Going more conservative for Republicans was not the answer; if anything, Romney going right on immigration to win the primary beat him in the end.
Obama likes to campaign, doesn't like to govern. He has the disaster on the East coast to deal with after the NJ governor threw Romeny under the bus for some photo ops that helped Obama.
Rumor is Joe Biden will step down in two years for Hillary to become the heir for helping Obama campaign.
Four years from now, China will say no more advances on your credit card, Federal Reserve will print more money, energy and food prices rise, the dollar is worth less, unemployment continues to rise, ObamaCare kicks in and seniors care is rationed causing voters to demand more from the rich. Finally the golden goose dies!
Know one know;s what is going on in a persons mind when they choose to take their own life. Depression or whatever. I do know the facts but would not put them out there for your moronic people to rag on him. He was a good man. Another life is lost that is sad. Leave our little town alone have you not done enough hurt us or do you just get your thrills watching all the itiot's post hateful things? God bless his family. Your blog will no longer be on my blogs to follow because of your poor taste. I don't know how you live with your conscience. Yes you to will have to face judgement one day!!
9:06, Tell it to Mitt Romney, not all Republicans. I have said all along he would lose, but he still got my vote because of Economics....a course you libs might want to brush up on in the next 4 years. If you think Obama is going bipartisan in the next term, you folks are cawaaaazeeee. He is about to make a left turn so hard Dale Earnhardt would be jealous!
Dear Host,
Please, from now on, only post the BLACK LADIES as RTG's. Whitey is out the door, we taking over now!

Everyone knew it would take more than 4 years to recover from what Bush did to us, the R's really did not want to take that on.
Tired of all the white chick pics.
We need about 75% black pics and the remainder messican.

NEW PIC!!!!
There must be something in the water for Alvord. I can't imagine how that town feels. I would move TODAY.
9:36 No disrepect to the Alvord coach, but anytime a person commits suicide most people want to know why..not judging..just curious why, especially being a coach of children when there has been 2 young athletes that have down from that town.
I'm just glad that Obammy is inheriting the mess that he created and has to deal with it. Now we can start the impeachment proceedings over Benghazigate, Fast and Furiousgate, Solyndragate, Stimulusgate and General Motorsgate.
Please,no nasty collard green eating blackard chicks, especially if they have their arms raised.
Keep it classy the best you can Green.
I copied and pasted all these comments to my external hard drive. I will check back with all you Obama gloaters in about a year and ask you how Obama is working out for ya. Enjoy your fun, because a day of reckoning is in your near future. He who laughs, laughs last ;)
The Fiddler 11-7-2012
This election is the result of old white men only talking and listening to other old white men and thinking those conversations are the reality. Elections are not about who is best able to govern or who has the best philosophy. Elections are won by working the demographics. No one knew this better than Lee Atwater (1951-1991) political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an advisor of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and chairman of the Republican National Committee. Conservatives love to pine for the appearance of someone like Ronald Reagan. Lee Atwater is the guy who put him in the White House. If you want the White House back you’re gonna have to realize old white guys are the minority and they will, as time goes by, become ever more so. “The times, they are a’changin.”
Nobody gives a shit about some clown named Lee Atwater.
The coach was going thru a rough divorce is my understanding. It became final that day.
That makes two times now that God has selected Obama to lead us.
Perhaps a few more of you will now understand that all of that Old Testament condemnation stuff isn't nearly as important as all of that New Testament, "love your neighbor" and helping "the least of these" passages.
This is amazing: Romney got 56,974,934 total votes last night. Four years ago, John McCain got 59,934,814. That last number would have been enough to beat the President last night.
Yet the Republicans still think they aren't running candidates who are conservative enough. I saw a Republican strategist last night say that they have to reframe "conservativism" to take into account women and latinos. IN other words--stop telling women the have to have rape babies and trying to deport everyone with brown skin. He might get a load of new consulting gigs, but ultimately his advice will be ignored. Republicans will continue to get farther to the right, while the country gets more and more moderate. They have no idea that all of their talk about rape and abortion turns off moderates--and should turn off every woman. The Republican platform truly is anti-woman. Republican women are simply too stupid to see it.
From a Wise County pastor on Facebook last night: "I'm done with America. I feel no allegiance to the USA anymore.
Funny--Alec Baldwin says it, and he's a traitor. Guess what pastor--don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
The most telling thing about last night's election: Texas has four more congressmen than in the last election, but the Republican Party just lost its supermajority in the Texas House.
This state is going blue in a few years. I don't think by 2016, but by 2020.

Hey Bacon, I think they just PS'd out a photo bomb. I think you should rate her.
I lie this girl. For reasons I won't mention.
Rage
9:19 -
Exit polls seem to show that the nation is with Obama in blaming Bush for where we are.
Trying to reduce voting to a single issue is just plain childish.
And to those of you that think Obama is responsible for sending jobs to China, do you know anything about Mitt Romney and his business history?
For those of you that blame Obama for the deficit, have you looked at the numbers? War and the interest on unfunded war is the culprit, not feeding people. Yes, we need welfare reform, and yes we need a smaller government, but if you think the Republicans will give it to us then you are delusional.
You and Lee Atwater fall into the same category Rage...Nobody gives a shit.
23 million Americans out of work
and 59 million voters think thats
ok. Sad
Dow Jones down. Expected
So sorry to hear it was due to a divorce..will never understand why this hurts so bad to make such a decision..it so hard on the remaining family...may God guide them through their grief.
Thanks Chris Christie for handing over the country to blue gum.
It wasn't the triumph of better ideas, superior policies or more enlightened voters.
Really? You don't think the Democratic Party's policy of not forcing women to have rape babies is better? Or that their belief that women who are raped don't actually have defense mechanisms that keep them from getting pregnant? Or that there is no need to place modifiers on rape such as 'forcible' or 'actual'? That rape is rape? And that Mitt Romney endorsing the people who say such things isn't indicative of his beliefs?
You're the problem with the Republican Party. You just don't get it.
Keep it up though. You'll lose more elections and the world will be a better place.
Rage
Some right-wingers are being drama queens (e.g. Wise Co. Pastor). I don't recall the extremist on the left crying about civil war or not being in America anymore during the last republican regime.
If the left wants revenge let's give it to them.
All employers (non-government) should pay the majority of their employees under the table that way no money goes to the government for welfare and food stamps.
Am I the only one witnessing a principality having a stronghold in Alvord? Daniel 10:12-14
As long as Congress can't get anything done, it saves the taxpayer money. Have you noticed that almost every bill requires more money and bureaucracy?
The power of prayer is just as strong as it's ever been.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. - Alexander Tyler
Gloat away fools! Your discussion of changing demographics and women's reproductive rights as a reason for the outcome of this election shows you have no idea of the lessons from or the wisdom of history. We are right on track.
Barry, I am sending a ten spot with you the next time you head to Vegas. With your prognostication skills, I see piles of money from roulette in my future.

YOU are the reason repubs lost. You have the attitude like Bush...you're either with us or against us. It's not that simple.
Chris Christie is a sell out.
..."It became final that day."
Damned right it did!!!
Those on the Right vote based on what is best for the country. Those on the left vote for what they perceive is best for themselves or their group.
Check out a section in 538 blogger Nate Silver's new book about signal and noise and he rips Dick Morris for being an absolute fraud. Too funny. And I think Silver hit it pretty close. #good_statistical_analysis. #dickmorrisidiot
Pay your employees under the table.
Oh what sweet revenge.
Alvord is more depressing than Rhome, and Rhome is the "Seattle" of Wise County.
11:32
It is that simple.
"The power of prayer is just as strong as it's ever been."
You are correct. It was powerless yesterday, is powerless today, and will be powerless tomorrow. If, on the other hand, you direct that energy into a positive belief in yourself--and not some fictitious supernatural bogeyman--the results can be incredible.
It's so funny when someone on the left talks about fraud.
The Republican Party has allowed radical idiots too much power. There are some realistic, nice,moderate Republicans out there who need to get together and remake their party.
They need to get rid of the talking negative heads and start working for the betterment of America.
It can happen. I hope it does.
I was awakened to the sound of heads exploding. It seemed particularly loud in the direction of Wise County.
Funny.
Sex, drugs, welfare, fraud and lies is the way to win a presidency in 2012.
Can't wait to see the shock on the left's face when those on the right shut down America.
LMAO
I see a lot of hypocrisy from left wingers on here today.. Scratch that... I see nothing but hypocrisy from left wingers period.
Liberal democrats are truly the party of the Double Standard.
Your constant need in wanting to change everything for your benefit has left us divided more than ever.
This is the beginning of Americas' undoing
1:33 Oh yes.
Making people work for what they have is radical.
Disagreeing with gay marriage is radical.
Disagreeing with street drugs is radical.
Disagreeing with provide sex tools is radical.
Disagreeing with abortion is radical.
LMAO
1:33 The left need to learn the definition of common sense and hypocritical. A big lesson in how not to commit fraud and how to tell the truth would be major assets too.
Good luck. You people are going to need it in the next 4 yrs. hehehehe
Righties - gripe all you want to, but the POWER of the vote elected Barack Obama. And stats are coming in that WOMEN were mainly behind this vote - SINGLE women. Something like sixty percent. What does THAT say to you?
2:23 - you sound as if you lump all Democrats into the same mold. Ridiculous. Many do not believe in the points you mention.
It is LABELS that are hurting this country. Democrats and Republicans should forget party affiliation and work for AMERICA.
HEY 2:23PM - I apparently didn't have my right-wing wacko AM Radio on the day you heard this...."Disagreeing with provide sex tools is radical. Can you clue me in? I'm curious.
11:15
Thanks for a totally original, fresh and insightful comment.
Try and walk away from the dogma and look at the numbers. It is not the average voter that is looting America, it is the big buiness/government plutocracy that we have allowed to take over almost everything. If big business does not pay it's employees enough to live, they are stealing from all of us. When Wall Street manipulates stock prices and commodity prices, they are stealing from all of us. When Mitt Romney buys a company, pushes it into bankruptcy, voids it's employee obligations and walks away with millions, he is stealing from all of us.
Try and have an original though for once, and back it up with reality, not a right wing fairy tale.
Well it looks like 4 more years of Nigger jokes on the blog. I just hope they try and take my guns I have alot of ammo and I'm ready to fight..
Hey man.....
I'm out of here...
I'll be somewhere in Colorado...land of the super cool...
3:42... It says to me that single women make poor decisions!
Interesting obscure fact from @chucktodd last night. Last time Republicans won the White House without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket: 1928
If you think that radicals in the Republican Party cost them the election you are wrong! Look at the radicals running the Democrat Party-they are winning! Why? Because we are now a center-left country instead of center-right! Lineup and receive your free gifts from Santa (the govt)!
3:42 Says to me their are a lot of chicks out there that need to shut up and go make me a sandwich!
DF Dagwood!
The Hispanic, blacks,women havve spoken. Enough said you Backwood hillbillies. This sould tell ya'll no one cares what ya'll think. Laugh my rump off
The 47% that Romney talked about earlier is what cost him the election.And the fact that blacks and mexicans are afraid of him. It was a no -brainer.
Now for your guesswork: you can throw the Cowboys in there also and it will make you look more informed.
I wonder how many Illegal aliens' votes counted with them using some dead guys social security number?
