What A (Possible) Waste of An Election Year

At present, it appears that Barack Obama has enough electoral votes (270 needed) to win another four years in the White House.

Mitt Romney is not conceding the election.  I wouldn't either as the numbers are only projections, not actual votes.

However, if Obama is in fact re-elected, the next two years (at least) will be like the last two as the GOP has retained control of the House of Representatives and the Democrats retain control of the Senate.

One thing I can predict, no matter who wins the White House, there will be a big rise in unemployment as Obamacare kicks in.  It will be fully implemented in 2014.  Also, if the big tax hikes that's coming in January aren't repealed, those will also add to the country's economic woes and keep businesses from hiring.

Romney's big mistake was not hitting Obama hard on the Benghazi tragedy.  It was not mentioned since the second debate.  Had he hit Obama hard on Benghazi, things might be different tonight.

Romney had a momentum going two weeks ago and then Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast.  That stalled it and it barely began to pick up again.  But it was just too late.

2016 can't come soon enough.
