The lurkers among us could easily find out the 2012 final score - Obama 332, Moroni 206.

And hey, 332 minus California's 55 electoral votes is dang near 270! No... wait... it's <b>over 270! </b>

Your Concern is... odd.

Hey, the Heritage Foundation has a lot of old white guys in it; they probably all received the same forwarded piece of something (probably something from The Onion or WND) and now they are nearly incontinent over it. So the thing is, they <i>believe</i> this stuff. Cut them some slack; they're olds and this here "internet thing" is a mystery. Except they know that piece of forwarded email they received has to be true. I mean "you can't say it if it isn't true".

You really need to consider what "art" they'd be making <i>instead.</i>

deviantART and a dozen imitators are making the world safer...

That's giving their followers too much credit. The children of their followers, however, might yet be salvaged.

Well yes, this is true, the point here being: never believe anything the Heritage Foundation says, they're liars and/or idiots.

"Found 354 relevant deviations"

I am genuinely surprised there wasn't another digit or two in that.

Is that the same Heritage Foundation who thought it was a great idea to make all those free-loaders purchase health insurance so they wouldn't be feeding at the public trough? Only now that we have a Blah President that's a terrible idea, of course.

Is that the same Heritgage Foundation that purchases "editorial advertising" on Sheer InSannity's and Off-the-Mark's dumb radio shows? They pay money to have positive opinions about them worked into the rants.

Here's the thing.

In Republican World, they don't have a majority in the Senate so want the rules preserved so minority rules.

In Republican World, Obama won the popular vote so they want to change the rules to appoint Electors by Congressional district instead. If that had been done in the last election and Electoral College matched Congressional races, it's President Romney with -- wait for it -- 47% of popular vote.

In Republican World, 249 Democrats "rammed Obamacare down our throats" but 239 Republicans is "the people have spoken".
