You would never know that hanging out in the coffee shops and reading the local paper.
Nearly one out of three of the energy industry, ranching industry, farming industry, tourism industry, and all the rest here that are connected to the state, voted for Obama.
Whoa...

You must be suffering a severe colonic trauma this morning, so I will just point out the fact that number is excessively high this election. Wyoming is the reddest state in the union, so maybe you have a point there about education.

I'm sure you can google that Frank, and the only identified Dem county is Teton County, which is the most expensive county in the US. There is a good number of hispanics there in the service industry.Franks Tanks wrote:What is Wyoming's hispanic population?Wedgebuster wrote:

When a country is fed a diet of Jersey Shore, American Idol, and Chicago bullshit you really can't expect them to make a good decision. Math and critical reasoning skills are being ignored in our schools from what I can tell, especially in urban environments. We prefer rock stars who can read a good speech to someone who can actually deliver results. Class warfare and divisiveness under the guise of hope, change, and coming together is absolutely laughable. It's embarrassing that we've re-elected this clown, and more embarrassing that we couldn't find anyone out of 300M+ Americans competent enough to beat him. This election is was a true indictment of the two party system. It's no wonder we're getting our collective asses kicked in the education arena worldwide.
He is just crushing the hispanic vote. Just feeling that a good portion of the vote may have been from the Hispanic farm/ranch workers.

Again, one third is huge here.
Obama must have done pretty well elsewhere, huh.

True....clearly I'm no fan of the president, but I'm not sure I'd be much happier with Romney in place. It bothers me that the US electorate is so incredibly uninformed and votes based on soundbites. We don't have just a presidential problem, we have a government problem in general. I really don't hold out a lot of hope that we'll see any more compromise over the next 4 years, and that's damning both parties.BlueHen86 wrote:2004 all over again.ASUG8 wrote:

There was a significant shift to the right last night, but not enough to give Romney the win.
I'm not sure how her re-election is related to the numbers that I posted above. McCaskill is quite unpopular, but she took advantage of Aiken's stupidity. Aiken was leading her by 8 points before he decided to go full retard.dbackjon wrote:CitadelGrad wrote:Popular vote totals:

That you still have a Democratic Female US Senator?

Percentage-wise it was technically a shift to the right from 2008.BlueHen86 wrote:Wow, that's some high RPM spin right there. Last night was status quo.

Exactly. 2008 was the abberation because people were tired of Bush and they bought into 'Hope and Change'.UNI88 wrote:Percentage-wise it was technically a shift to the right from 2008.BlueHen86 wrote:

In reality, the pendulum just swung back to the middle and you're right that no one has a mandate or the momentum. Of course, neither side is likely to admit that. They're just going to forge ahead being obstinate and pretending that they're smarter than the other side. I hope I'm wrong but I see two to four years of obstructionism, bickering and finger pointing ahead from both sides of the aisle.
