Now that the Republicans have Mitt Romney out of the way, the real race will begin for 2016 (the one they knew they'd be competing in anyway): Rubio Heads to Iowa
Sorry Mitt, all your friends had a backup plan.
Now that the Republicans have Mitt Romney out of the way, the real race will begin for 2016 (the one they knew they'd be competing in anyway): Rubio Heads to Iowa
Romney was 'shellshocked' that he lost on election night..
Jan Crawford of CBS news writes:
They just couldn’t believe they had been so wrong. And maybe they weren’t: There was Karl Rove on Fox saying Ohio wasn’t settled, so campaign aides decided to wait. They didn’t want to have to withdraw their concession, like Al Gore did in 2000, and they thought maybe the suburbs of Columbus and Cincinnati, which hadn’t been reported, could make a difference.
But then came Colorado for the president and Florida also was looking tougher than anyone had imagined.
"We just felt, ‘where’s our path?’" said a senior adviser. "There wasn’t one."
Romney then said what they knew: it was over.
His personal assistant, Garrett Jackson, called his counterpart on Mr. Obama’s staff, Marvin Nicholson. “Is your boss available?” Jackson asked.
Romney was stoic as he talked to the president, an aide said, but his wife Ann cried. Running mate Paul Ryan seemed genuinely shocked, the adviser said. Ryan’s wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly.
They were this shocked?
Obviously Mitt forgot about the primary debates when every other candidate told him and other Republicans that he would lose. And maybe he ignored changing demographics? And maybe he didn’t realize how many people would note his constantly evolving positions on issues.
Maybe the GOP should have went for the gusto and nominated Ron Paul just to see how that would have worked.
Instead they went the safe route, as they did with Bob Dole against Clinton in 1996. A repeat of the 90s is here.
Fair to say Romney will not run again? I think so.
Romney was 'shellshocked' that he lost on election night..
Expect to see this photo in lots of places around the web .. This is Valeria Lukyonova. She is being billed as the real life BARBIE. Oh, and the photo you are looking at is real. It’s her. Not photoshopped, either.
It sort of makes me physically ill, how about you?
Oh and when she’s not busy having somehow way too much money to be able to do all this, she travels in her astral body. That must be fun.
think there will be a movie about obama one day just like there is about lincoln tomorrow?
Great question, but FLAWED! You assume that 200 years from now movies will still exist. By then we are going to be way beyond even virtual reality. We may even be able to re-create time. Or time travel..
So if we do time travel, then people from 200 years from now and here right now today. And maybe TODAY they are making the movie … ? Eh?
Pretty amazing stuff: There is a 'super earth' in a 6-planet system, and it may just have oceans and life
My thought.. if there are oceans and life, are the oceans huge and the life massive?
Pretty amazing stuff: There is a 'super earth' in a 6-planet system, and it may just have oceans and life
From Sandy to a white out.. Parts of the Northeast look like this today. Amazing stuff, weather can be. Sadly power is still out and the storm led to even MORE power outages … there are some warmer days coming up over the next few, so let’s hope that power crews get this mess cleaned up so the rest of the mess can be cleaned.
By the way, Charles Hack took this photograph for the Jersey Journal showing snow covered streets in Hoboken.. pretty picture. But too much misery ongoing to enjoy it.

The GOP lament: Was it Chris Christie's fault!?
Robert Costa wrote a NATIONAL REVIEW article today, linked above, about the election results. What caused Romney to lose?
The quote on NJ Gov Chris Christie that caught my attention:
Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, the adviser adds, is persona non grata in Romney’s inner circle. “He went out of his way to embrace the president during the final week of the campaign,” the adviser says. “It wasn’t necessary and it hurt us. Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Chris Christie undermined the Republican message.”
Maybe Christie’s embrace of Obama hurt Romney. Maybe Chris Christie crying after Bruce Springsteen called hurt Romney. But in the end it helped his citizens, and quite frankly, it helped Chris Christie.
Think about it.. Your state just went through a disaster of monumental proportions. Entire towns are gone. An entire coastline is changed. What else CAN YOU DO but ask the President of the federal purse for help? What else can you do but put politics aside..? You have no option.
And on the political flipside? It’s a win-win for Chris Christie. Obama in office for four more years, and after 8 years of a presidency it’s easier for a different party to win.. In 2016, I bet Chris Christie runs for the presidency.. Romney losing this year allows him to do that. Obama being out of office by then allows him to have a weaker field to run against. And he will win in 2016. I say it now. Put it on the record.
ON this date, a date after 11/6/12, I say Chris Christie will win in 2016. Unless the Mayan calender ends in December and the world gets decimated by the mighty hand of the higher power. Otherwise Christie/Rand Paul (you read that right) wins in 2016 against …Clinton/Biden!
So sayseth the Coalspeaker. So sayseth the lord.
He certainly has legs big enough to fill the shoes.
The GOP lament: Was it Chris Christie's fault!?
Post-election-celebration: Now the hard part. Figuring out what, if anything, actually changed. Billions of dollars were spent. For...? What?
The election is over. WE CAN ALL UNITE and be thankful for that. The campaign mudslinging gets tiresome—even boring. The negative ads were so plentiful this year that, frankly, people stopped noticing them. It was just frightening images of President Obama and Governor Romney set Armageddon style music. But it’s over. We have a winner. And it happened long before many thought it would. No recount. No hanging chads. No computer glitches of concern—well, there were but as usual the media ignored the problems with electronic machines.
But what has changed?
Before the election yesterday, Democrats controlled the Senate, Democrats had the White House, and Republicans had the House.
After the election today? Democrats control the Senate, Democrats have the White House, and Republicans have the House.
This after billions of dollars spent on advertising!?
Billions of dollars spent to … keep everything the same?
I am not a money-man, a banker, or a fiscal prophet. But if someone told me to spend a billion bucks just to keep my house, my job, my car, and make no changes, I’d turn the cheek and take a risk by not doing it.
Our elections are getting expensive. The Supreme Court decision years back allowing corporations to give more ensured that. Are we getting more for the money, though? We certainly had our TV airwaves taken over by candidates this year. Billions upon billions of dollars spent while Hurricane Sandy victims still are without running water, electricity, and food. Billions of dollars on a campaign while wars continue.. while poverty abounds.. while people are working three jobs instead of two just to make ends meet. Billions of bucks on the campaign.
Just to keep the status quo.
And speaking of status quo, not to be glum while America parties, there is something coming on January 1 2013 that few are concerned about: The fiscal cliff. The moment when taxes increase for everyone in this nation all at one time. When government spending has issues.. when people’s deductions get affected.. when life fiscally as we know it changes. And Congress, the Senate, and the White House are fully aware of the impending financial doom. The cliff is fast approaching. Billions of dollars were spent to make certain that the SAME PLAYERS would be in Washington that brought us to the edge of this mess. As of right now, no serious attempts have yet been made to correct the problem, or divert it from happening. A lame duck session of Congress is coming. Maybe they will come up with a magic solution? Or just keep doing things as they have been done.
No changes.
Status quo.
It’s tough to say just yet what, if anything, will change as a result of President Obama’s re-election.
The nation is slightly divided. A pretty evenly split popular vote, though the President did have a resounding victory on the Electoral College map.
If I had to make any prediction about what changed, I’d say this: Republicans will have to deeply analyze their message and determine what they could do about it. Was Romney just a flawed candidate? Was Santorum right ..was Gingrich right..was Bachmann right? They all said Romney could not beat a sitting President. And Chris Christie sat this one out. Maybe he was thinking Romney loses, too, setting up a 2016 run (or walk for him) to the White House? Or maybe the Ron Paul wing of the party needs some more press. Or maybe the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the Reform Party, and others, need to be brought into the big tent of media coverage that only covers two parties?
I don’t know.
But what I do know is that today, just like November 5 2012, everything feels quite the same..

11:12 pm OHIO CALLED..
Chicago is going wild at Obama headquarters.. Other nets have not called yet..
I was wrong.. Obama did not win North Carolina
President Obama will win the swing state of Wisconsin and Mitt Romney will win the swing state of North Carolina..
Minnesota goes Obama, networks making the call
The trend continues leading to a potential landslide election
I predict North Carolina goes Obama
No projections from the experts yet but I’m watching the county by county view and it is looking like Romney’s night will end early..
Numbers coming in from Wisconsin
And it looks like an Obama pickup as
Milwaukee results get counted..
Not a shock to me
Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill will beat Todd Akin to retain her U.S. Senate seat for Missouri
Only half the vote is counted in Ohio but.....
The window there is closing too. Major Democratic strongholds have yet to be counted, just like in FLORIDA. The election may soon be over ..
Romney's window to win is closing quickly
84% of Florida is counted.. But the areas to be counted are major Democratic areas .. Romney is most likely going to lose Florida and it perhaps will NOT be as close as it looks at the moment..
Florida is amazingly close
Razor thin isn’t the word.
Where’s Dan Rather when you need a good saying?
Fox News has on Michael Barone
Remember he predicted a big Romney win. He didn’t change his prediction yet but is hedging a bit on any big pronouncements..
Barone also asked:
‘Is he [Romney] outperforming John McCain enough?’
Virginia razor thin
49/49 exit polls. If Romney does not capture Virginia his path to 270 is very difficult
My pick, but don't bet on it
I waited until very late in the game, but I am choosing who the electorate will pick for the next president of United States. Barack Obama.
I think he will win Pennsylvania by a slim margin, and when all Ohio by and even slimmer margin. He may even win Florida by the slimmest of slim margins. He will win New Jersey by a large margin, which is fitting since the governor of that state is not slim at all…
Others have said Obama will win, others have said Romney will win, and some have even said that Romney will win by a wide margin..
Time will tell.. Watching like you are..
Trying to read the tea leaves on TV
I was watching coverage of the election on all three major networks, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. On those programs during interviews, Republicans look a little nervous and Democrats look a little overconfident. Not sure if my observations mean anything, it could just be that Republicans are nervous and Democrats are overconfident, or it could mean that exit polls show a substantial margin of victory for president Obama..
We won’t know officially until later, or even later than later, but I will continue to read the tea leaves and follow the airwaves along with reading as many websites and blogs as I can to find out if anyone can prognosticate who the president will be before the election gets called officially..
And what time the official recognition of a president comes? That is where the night could get long..
Final calls from pundits and prognosticators. Plus Katy Perry in a skin tight latex ballot outfit.
Election day predictions.. from pundits and soothsayers. Will they say anything if they are wrong?
Dick Morris predicts from a limb: Romney 325, Obama 213..
Michael Tomasky Obama 294, Romeny 244
Nate Silver: Obama 303, Romney 235
Michael Barone: Romney 315, Obama 223
Ezra Klein: Obama 290, Romney 248
George Will: Romney 321, Obama 217
Markos Moulitsas: Obama 332, Romney 206
Karl Rove: Romney 285, Obama 253
Jim Cramer: Obama 440, Romney 98
John Miller: Obama 294, Romney 244
Meanwhile, stars have made their pick. Springsteen, Lady Gaga, and others have appeared at rallies to sing for Obama. The latest is Katy Perry, whodecided to wear a skin tight ‘ballot’ outfit. Obama was checkmarked near her waist while Romney went blank near her crotch. 2012 is serious stuff. Minus Katy Perry.

THE CHOICE
America is set to vote..
All the ads, all the money.. all now history. The real story begins and ends with each citizen, in the polling place, deciding who should run the school board, the county.. the congress.. the nation. All up to Mr. And Mrs. Citizen. Joe Sixpack. All of those corny phrases ..
The election may be close, so the experts say. The pundits also tell us it could be disputed. Which means even more so that every vote counts. Remember in the year 2000? Votes counted then. Of course the real vote was the Supreme Court, their words certainly had more weight..
Nonetheless, in the year 2012, what is the choice?
Each campaign has framed the debate his (or her) own way.
But none of the frames matter.
The negative ads? They are meaningless too.
The debates? They meant something, but don’t know.
No, now you count.
You mean something.
You are the person who gets to decide.
There is something special about a free and fair election. We in America assume we have those things still. Hopefully our assumption will not be disproven by widespread fraud.. keep the fraud at a minimum. And in Philadelphia. But during a free election, you can walk into a polling place in silence, head held high, cast your choice, and walk out proud. Will your vote be counted? Well, that is for another time and place. But knowing you can do what you did without worry or trepidation or repudiation? Well, that feels alright …
So go make it count. Regardless of the candidate that you have bought into, no matter the talking points you have recited, just go and be silent in that polling place. Your vote speaks a million words.
AMERICA’S CHOICE, 2012.
For better or worse. Here we go.

How the world sees post Sandy USA
The UK Daily Mail writes that fear, crime, looting, and scavenging for food has taken over areas still powerless..
I’d love to hear from people to tell me if it really is that bad..
Saturday, November 3, 2012
"They are finding bodies left and right, elderly people who don’t even watch the news or who knew the storm was coming."
Those are the words spoken by SONS OF ANARCHY star Theo Rossi. He said that Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath is much worse than how the media is portraying it.. Here is the full quote as reported by EW:
It’s so bad here, a lot worse than how its being portrayed by the media. They are finding bodies left and right, elderly people who don’t even watch the news or who knew the storm was coming. I was just with one of my best friends from high school and college, and his house is completely gone. One story I heard was about this one guy who evacuated his house during Hurricane Irene but then it got looted. So when they told him to evacuate for Sandy, he said, ‘I’m not leaving.’ Now they can’t find him, his 13-year-old daughter is dead, and his wife is in critical condition at the hospital. These are the stories. My stepfather and my mother, I love them to death. But when they heard the storm was coming, they said, ‘It’s not going to be that bad. Irene didn’t do anything.’ They had two flashlights and a couple of scented candles. Little did they know. It’s just not worth it. If you’re told to evacuate, you need to get out.
Other reports are numerous of people dressing up like ConEd employees, robbing people at gunpoint. There are videos of Senator Chuck Schumer being told that with more cold nights like the previous few, more people will die..
Another storm is on the map.. It could bring wind, rain, and snow for the Northeast after election day..
The troubling part: Sand dunes that protected areas from beach flooding road flooding has been obliterated.. What may occur here is good..
I believe the unfortunate series of events appear to be set to continue..
This weather model was issued by the NWS in Mount Holly NJ showing next week’s Nor’Easter potential.. Those colors represent various wind speeds that could hit the area right now desperately trying to recover from Superstorm Sandy.
There is no consensus yet with weather models about where the next storm is going. But if it hits these areas the aftermath could be devastating for people .. Accuweather issued this map potential for next week:
One scenario for the storm takes it out to sea, not bothering the areas trying to clean up and restore power. That would be the most reasonable solution .. Another model solution keeps the storm along the coast, provides cold wind and rain for New Jersey and New York, while parts of Pennsylvania, New York, and New England will be socked with heavy snow.
This European model actually shows the storm gaining strength and becoming a Nor’Easter. Usually snow lovers would love to see a model like this in November. But this year, with the horror unleashed by the superstorm, it is not a welcome sight but instead another potentially horrific fright.
The storm, if it were to actually develop, will not be nearly as strong as Sandy—perhaps nothing for a while will be as strong as that.
However, just the idea that another developing system could plop down over this area is unbelievable..
May there be a God and may he intervene and allow that storm to blow out into the Atlantic, leaving the people of the Northeast at peace long enough to recover from this storm..

NOW WEATHER MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER STORM NEXT WEEK!
The same places hit by Sandy, me included, may have a potential Nor’Easter come next week.. by election day.. Oh boy. This isn’t good, it cannot be good.. hopefully weather models are wrong… Hopefully…
NOW WEATHER MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER STORM NEXT WEEK!
Halloween, Sandy..and countless tales of varied human emotions.
Still trying to get my head the superstorm and how much it has changed lives along the East Coast. There is suddenly a ton of nostalgia for the Jersey shore, as Governor Chris Christie says that the coastline is forever changed. Looking at images of fire and flooding, you cannot doubt that. Even more, Queens is burning with 100 homes turned into ashes.. reports of fires breaking out throughout the affected region due to gas lines or electric lines.. or who knows what.. The aftermath still isn’t fully sinking in. 6.5 million are still without power this morning—and this morning in the Northeast is very cold.. And in West Virginia, it’s even colder with feet of snow falling instead of inches, weighing down trees and branches and most certainly causing further power disruptions.. This was a storm for the record books. Did you notice, though, how many storm for the record books are happening lately? Maybe then this storm is simply a harbinger of disaster to come..
Tonight, along many of the towns destroyed and leveled by this storm, were going to have innocent children trick or treat. Those plans are off. Instead, on a night when ghosts and goblins should have been walking the streets, true horror has taken center stage.
The images being seen are unfathomable. Unthinkable.
Consider this: There are massive waves along Lake Erie due to the Superstorm. There were high winds as far as Ohio… This storm struck the entire East Coast, not only the coastline, but inland. More than a dozen states were affected by Hurricane Sandy.
That is monumental. That is amazing.. That is unbelievable.
The ‘COMING GLOBAL SUPERSTORM’ was a book written by Whitley Streiber and Art Bell late in the 20th century. In the fiction novel based on fact, they claimed earth changes were going to get so severe so quickly that once normal storms would evolve quickly into ‘superstorms’ with a warm ocean and nothing to stop them. I fondly rememebr Matt Lauer interviewing both Streiber and Bell on the TODAY show about the book, joking about their assertions and mocking the ‘superstorm’ title as a clever scare tactic.. More than a decade later the ‘quickening’ of everything seems to be setting in. The superstorm is not coming, but is here.
One year ago in my area, we were slammed with a Halloween snow storm that dumped feet of snow. This year it’s a superstorm that has decimated a number of cities, and killed at least 50. It also killed in Cuba..
A moving story from my state of Pennsylvania is stuck in my head. A father in Susquehanna County lost his 8-year-old son. The boy was going out to see if the family pets were safe… when his father said to go back in the house, he listened and was killed by a falling tree. The dad was interviewed in my local WNEP-TV news in tears saying he kept his son warm until the responders arrived..
I don’t know about you.. There were the nurses in New York City walking in the dark down dozens of stairs with sick premature babies in hand to get them to safety..
Humanity.
Innocence lost.
Heartache and heart break.. Sadness and nostalgia.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, we were told that was a Hurricane the likes of which we would never see again in our collective lifetime. Maybe that is correct, as the new ‘norm’ is superstorms..
Did you see any headlines this year from Asia? Probably not. But if you would have you would have known that their typhoons this year were remarkably strong….and killed lots of people in the path of each storm.
There are countless stories of heroism from Sandy the Superstorm. Unfortunately there are also countless amounts of tragedy.
What does this mixture of sadness and goodness mean? What does it say about the existence of God? What doesn’t it?
I frankly don’t know at all.
Some people will do one of two things in the aftermath: They will either cling to God or resist the idea he exists. And it will be directly due to what they have seen during this storm.
We are products of our surroundings.
As the storm winds down, the surroundings have become truly bleak for millions of people..

My mind boggled by the images I am seeing
It’s Halloween Eve. But real horror has displaced the fictitious.
There is more horror than this blanketing airwaves and net streams.. The aftermath of Sandy is unbelievable .. The destruction caused is unfathomable..
Stay tuned, I will have many more thoughts on this. I have been without power due to the storm as well, and now that I am seeing the images on TV my mind is completely shocked.. I am at a loss for words, but will find the words to presents my thoughts in a coherent manner (or at least try)..
There is something frightening about three transformers exploding outside your house at 1am. And something even more eerie about your home plunged into cold and darkness. It stops feeling like your house.
I have a theory, one born from that very feeling today of being isolated in my own home. I believe electricity has a feeling to it, I believe that electricity can make you feel alive and good.. and in a sense God or whatever made us is electricity (ever hear the idea of the electrical universe?) Anyway just a theory.
In the mean time.. I cannot even imagine how one starts to rebuild along the Jersey shore, or how one starts to clean up lower Manhattan, or how one digs out of three feet of snow like in West Virginia. Actually I do know how someone digs out of three feet of snow… as we do here in the coal region of PA, when the snow is measured in feet and not inches, call a guy with a plow.
Sandy strikes
Three very loud explosions and power gone ..
But I’m not alone. There’s 7 million of us out of power now, and a big club.
Tonight feels eerie.. It’s creepy with the wind blowing listening to AM radio, prophets who predict doom and truck drivers who see gloom..

Tonight on Coast to Coast AM: Hurricane Coverage..
And on the program will be one of my favorite guests (mostly because he was a staple of Art Bell’s show): John Hogue. He is the Nostradomus expert. And if you read what he wrote about a year ago, he actually predicted some type of carnage and nation-paralyzing tropical storms. Maybe he was right? See his article here
If he wasn’t right, you’re still sure to hear George Noory mangle words and callers claim Bigfoot did it.
I sure miss Art Bell.
Here at Coal Speaker home base
The winds are truly ferocious right now. I am actively getting candles and flashlights ready.. My son is sleeping. It’s been a long evening waiting for these winds, but now it’s close to 60 to 70MPH gusts .. incredible power. Lights are flickering. I don’t believe I’ll be here much longer than this. Goodnight for now. Unless power is out for days, see you tomorrow.
AP reporting on NYC's dark night
The AP dispatch goes:
Much of New York was plunged into darkness Monday by a superstorm that overflowed the city’s historic waterfront, flooded the financial district and subway tunnels and cut power to nearly a million people.

Thank you for the fact check from THEPETE on the subway photo I posted that wasn’t technically the ‘subway’. And if you don’t follow THEPETE on Tumblr you should.
Someone earlier asked where the photo of the subway filling up was from

I cannot even believe my eyes.. Take a look at this image shot by A Burton of Getty Images. It’s water rushing into an underground parking garage in New York City. I am stunned at the sights..

Hurricane Sandy is speeding up
Latest radar looks to me like it is losing a lot of power—I know we don’t have any downgrade yet nor official landfall. Most think a New Jersey impact is going to happen. I made a prediction that the center rolls over somewhere in between Jersey and Delaware..
AS far as the speeding up? I see that as good and bad. The quicker the better. BUT it will meet up with the cold front quicker, too, and start causing the slow moving flooding rain..
Amazing images of SuperSandy as she makes her way onto the Jersey shore..

FEAR IN THE STREETS? NOW RUMORS THAT LOOKING AND FIGHTS OVER FOOD AND GAS WILL FOLLOW SANDY
Everyone needs to calm down. Ride it out. Get through it..
FEAR IN THE STREETS? NOW RUMORS THAT LOOKING AND FIGHTS OVER FOOD AND GAS WILL FOLLOW SANDY
Youre stupid. Rea on the HAARP machine its true. Its not a conspiracy, its uses maybe questionable but definitely not fake. This hurricane is impossible for us n the east cost! Look up all the scientific data collected from the hurricane you ignorant squat.
I believe HAARP exists. As a matter of fact they have a website. That is not what I am saying. I am simply saying I do not believe HAARP created this hurricane. If I am wrong .. you and me both will never know it.
What I do believe is that weather is changing.. It’s more severe.. all the time. Is that HAARP? I know folks out there who appear on George Noory and Alex Jones say there is proof. I am not fully ‘there’ on that though..
