Still too close to call...Deeply Divided Nation....Obama needs to govern "from the center"....

OK: Obama is up by 47,000 with 20,000 votes left to count in Florida. And that hasn't changed all day. So why is Florida still "undecided"?

Because, silly, that would make it 332 to 202 in the electoral college and THAT starts to look like a Mandate.

There's no question in my mind that the media is trying to downplay the magnitude of Obama's win. What I'm waiting to see is how Obama is going to play this.

Obama needs to go no-holds-barred and whip the shit out of the Republican asswipes. He's got a mandate and he needs to use it.

And curiously, Florida doesn't matter at all at this point. Na-na nanna booboo, stick your head in poopoo. Obama won with a wide margin, both ECV and popular. Take that FOX and Rush.

What Republicans call left is centrist and what Republicans call centrist is conservative. Obama should govern from the "left".
