Oh poor republicans caught in the bubble actually believed the incredible spin that warped any sense of reality. Imagine if you and the people that tell you what to think got this so wrong, what else you have wrong?

The State's entire margin of victory for Obama came from the inner-city counties of Minneapolis and St. Paul. That's where the vast majority of the 'Takers' vote. The 'Payers', the rest of the state, show a total margin for Romney. And the same is true in every major inner-city in America for that's where liberal politicians pass out entitlement funds in exchange for a vote (i.e., Obama -- community organizer). The Payers control the vast majority of the rest of America. And until our country becomes like Greece, with Takers rioting in the streets demanding continuance of their welfare culture, the Payers will not become angry enough to demand change. Until then, it's just more rising deficits to fund this liberal voting block as we go down the slippery slope to financial disaster. America, I believe, will be resilient enough to recover, but it will be very painful and none of the current politicians will be held accountable.

From Obama's reelection to the defeat of Cravaack and the two amendments, I couldn't be more thrilled about yesterday's outcome. Way to go Minnesota!

Dewarf, blue states are net Contributors of tax dollars; they pay more than they receive in taxes. Red states are net Recipients of tax dollars; they receive more than they pay in. That's a fact; look it up. By the way, the Twin Cities are where people live. And vote. One person, one vote.

People versus super pacs? There are pacs on both sides and the unions contribute quite a bit to the cause as well.
