<i>"I spend hours upon hours upon hours mining the news and finding things to post for you to share with other people and yet very little of you do it. ... [FB] is a good tool of the left to use against them! The people on the right can't seem to figure that out... Branch out, make some sort of an impact!"</i>

This explains so much about why the election was close. For the past 10 weekends my team and I have been canvassing in PA, 6 or 7 hours a day, rain or shine, walking door to door, talking to voters, registering new voters, helping people fill out applications for absentee ballots, making sure people in retirement homes had rides to the polling place and understood the Photo ID law, identifying swing and undecided voters, and then 4 straight days of GOTV on foot in frigid cold, sometimes with a flashlight after dark, and then in the evenings on the phone banks ... and yeah, despite a week's onslaught of Rombot robocalls and TV and radio ads and the Bot himself and Li'l Bot both running rallies at the end there, we delivered PA for Obama.

But if I had only known! All we needed to do was sit at home and eat chips and drink schnapps and POST LINKS on FB. Damn, that would have been so much easier.

We are really dumb. :-(

mr fuflans (who could not listen to more than 30 seconds last night) reminded me we were pretty much like this in 2004.

though, of course, it was cabernet instead of buttershots and beer. also, arugula and hummus instead of chips and dip. also, worst president in american history reelected instead of mildly left of center moderately successful president reelected.

still! i feel her pain.

What's great is all the commenters there who don't seem to realize that.

Wait a sec - she previously posted an <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=cqHunbM-oMQ" target="_blank">hour-long rant</a> to the effect that Romney was no different than Obama - in fact, Romney <i>was</i> Obama. So why did she care who won?

Warning: she does appear herself in the other video.
