[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this thread reveals is that there are a lot of dweebs in DC who like to wear their school colors to the pep rally. The more extreme your views, whether Democrat or Republican, the more "spirit" you are showing. Not that there aren't policy issues to discuss, but the overheated rhetoric here? [b] Sheesh.[/b][/quote] I agree with your sheesh, that's for sure. Part of me wonders if the reasons the Republicans are so hyperbolic about the election is because they really were caught by such surprise. Most of the Republicans I know were absolutely and totally CONVINCED Romney would win. They really seemed to have no idea what was coming. The shock just took them to a really angry place. I have been wondering how they could have missed it as the news I was hearing all along was that the race was neck-and-neck, and if you believed Nate Silver (which it turns out we should have) then it was Obama. Whichever candidate you preferred, it just makes no sense that it should be a surprise that Obama would win under those circumstances. So why the total surprise? I hypothesize that a lot of Republicans listen to editorialized news without realizing it or perhaps without contextualizing what they are hearing and then they pass that information between them as if it were real. Maybe there is a situation here where opinion and fact are getting confused.[/quote]
