John Hinderaker at Power Line posted his take on yesterday’s election. He makes some good points. Because President Obama was elected, he will now be forced to reveal his plans for his second term. How does he plan to deal with the $!6 trillion dollar debt (he created almost half of it)?

The article reminds us:

Ben Bernanke can’t keep interest rates at zero for another four years; at least, I don’t think he can. As soon as interest rates start to rise, the budget–no, wait, we don’t have a budget, but you know what I mean–is blown. It will be difficult for the press to conceal from the American people the fact that we are broke.

The article concludes:

This year’s presidential election represented the culmination of a trend that has been developing for several cycles, in which the campaign barely exists outside of a handful of swing states. This year, it got ridiculous. If you lived in 35 or 40 states, you barely knew that it was an election year, at the presidential level, anyway. The result was a foregone conclusion across a broad swath of America. Undoubtedly that depressed turnout in the non-swing states. It would be easy to test my hypothesis; did turnout remain high in the contested states, and drop off in the others? If so, I think that is the answer. Still, the fact that Obama’s turnout dropped so much more than his Republican opponent’s shows that at least a few million Americans have wised up since 2008.

Neither Governor Romney nor President Obama campaigned in Massachusetts. If you wanted a yard sign for the Romney/Ryan campaign in Massachusetts, you had to order it online. This actually makes sense–a candidate has a limited amount of money and a limited amount of appearances he can make while running for office. Obviously, he is going to spend his time and money where it is needed and will do the most good.
