Although if you toss out Gallup & Rasmussen (which came in last in polling for 2012) Romney never lead once.

...and was ahead for a while at the beginning, then things started going our way and the rest is history.

This bike race is what was occurring inside Romney's mind. The fall was when his bubble burst on election night.

Which is how it would be in real life. Obama does not laugh at the unfortunate people of this world.

In the real world, Mitt was never ahead. He started the premature victory stretch because he had blinders on.

It would have been Obama ahead, then Mitt catching up and going a little bit ahead, then waving his arms and falling off.

I love though that this person prematurely celebrated victory and that very effort caused him to lose! It must have been so embarrassing for the actual bicyclist.

I am truly forgetting Romney already, I looked at him in this gif and had a slight double take in order to remember him. I guess Ive moved on to the SCOTUS who are going to consider trashing voting rights all together since Citizen United couldn't buy votes

If SCOTUS lead by Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito and backed by Kennedy do trash the Voting Rights Act, we have to demand our Congress enact a new voting rights Act to replaace it and that REALLY UPDATEs and is better in protecting and guaranteeing the Right to VOTE!!

Our country and how we vote has become the laughing joke of the world, especially when we claim to be the shining example of democracy.
