money well spent.

3. Oh hell yeah... that wasn't lost on me. I just laughed at the line about 'Obama was already presi-

dent, 2.5 billion was spent, and he's still there'. I think the Repukes blew more than our side did, which gladdens my heart.

2. That money had to go some where..

Into the pockets of venders... food distributors.. Bakers, Chefs, telephone companies, Hotels.. Motels.. Rental Cars... and the American people got that money..(It did not go to China or Switzerland or the Caymen islands) who worked the Conventions etc.. Guess where that money will go? It will be paycheck to worker...to buying more things..and helping the economy grow..

No one flushed that money down the toilet...It will eventually come to all of us in some way or form.

6. Early humans used to invest surplus into tools & technology

This helped them accumulate energy and materials more quickly. Now they spend it on beauty contests.

7. Well there are some who used to feel that

They were due Beer, traveling expenses and many experiences...

4. It was the 2012 MSM Bailout.

The real winner was big media corporations and their stockholders. Not that they'll do anything but continue to dumb-down and go extinct.

5. They did an excellent job of playing razor thin meme right to the end special kudos to Fox

for their comic relief.

8. Nothing structurally changed in the race from months ago. The "tight" polls and coverage of that

phony meme of threatened GOP victory beginning in early October effectively stampeded a lot of people. That may have had a good outcome in final turnout numbers, but it was based in a fiction of a "horse race" that did not really exist (at least in terms of the electoral college outcome) until the media created one after the first debate, the importance of which was massively overstated.
