U.S. Election Night 2012: Random Rants and Musings.

Some thoughts from the biggest night in America in 2012:

• Do I care about the projected Electoral College tally? I don't. So to the media outlets-especially the AP and TV-in 2016 and beyond, PLEASE! STOP with the FUCKING ELECTORAL COLLEGE PROJECTIONS until the electors themselves finally cast their votes.
• Some of the Senate races amused me:
• Tammy Baldwin came from behind to win the vacated Senate seat in Wisconsin. Becomes the first OPENLY GAY member of the United States Senate. I favored Tommy Thompson to win. Yes folks, the former Governor of Wisconsin and a Bush 43 Cabinet member.
• In that same Wisconsin Senate race, finishing fourth was an unknown independent by the name of...NIMROD Allen! It is his real name! Look him up!
• It isn't Todd Akin that would "butt-rape" Senator Claire McCaskill for her seat in the Senate, it was McCaskill who reversed the favor. Jonathan Dine, the Libertarian finished 3rd with about 7% of the votes.
• At Sen. Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts) conceding speech, is it just me or is one of her daughters taller than Sen. Brown. Maybe it's the stillettos?
• Kirsten Gillibrand is re-elected to the Senate.
• Bob Corker wins again. I wished that the GOP would have done a sequel to that (controversial to some, hilarious to me) 2006 ad attacking former US Congressman Harold Ford Jr. That particular "I Met Harold at the Playboy Party!" ad. This time replacing Ford with his opponent.
• Linda McMahon loses again. $100 million from profits of a publicly traded company (the NYSE stock symbol 'WWE' gives away a hint) to once again blow another election. Pro Wrestling fans are rejoicing. In the words of D-Generation X: Linda, I got two words for you: SUCK IT!
• 'Mourlock' sounds like a character of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel.
• The House races also amused me as well:
• Texas House #23, representing mostly San Antonio area. The two leading candidates had familiar last names-Canseco and Gallego. I am thinking, this has a 1989 Oakland A's to this! Lots of baseball fans were thinking the same as well.
• Michele Bachmann won another term in the House, but instead of running for President, she should've used the money and ran against Amy Klobuchar for Klobuchar's Senate seat.
• Lots of Liberty-PAC endorsed candidates won House elections last night.
• Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY) lost her bid for a second straight House term.
• Paul Ryan will return to the House after winning his House election.
• Elsewhere...
• Several states voted on pot and gay marriage. Yet New York did not have an amendment to allow mixed martial-arts promotions to finally hold events in New York State.
• C-SPAN deserves accolades for being best election coverage of the night, blowing away PBS and all the commercial networks, which are all shit when it comes to election coverage (honestly Fox and Fox News did better than all other commercial networks).

So that is some of the random musings and rants from Election Night 2012. This is the beginning of planned post-Election coverage throughout the weekend.
