Yep. Very strange to be so devoted to this election for two years, only for it to come to such an unspectacular end in just over four hours.

The GOP primaries were fun to watch. Perry and Santorum are hilarious. But the general election sucked, yeah.

Not sure how, since Republicans knew they were losing in 2008, but they were surprised in 2012.

It was amusing because many Republicans went into election day thinking Romney was going to win for some reason.

Yes, and that's exactly what I expected at the beginning of the campaign.

Though the final PV is closer than I expected back then.

I thought it was pretty great. The GOP primary season was hilarious.

If it wasn't for the first debate appearing to shake things up, there would be nothing at all of interest in the general election.

The early part. And especially the pre-season!

I thought it was pretty good too.  I mean Hannity and Boehner did total 180 degree turns in something like 24-48 hrs.  I love the "evolving" on immigration.  Karl Rove went from genius to imbecile over the course of about 30 minutes.  Super PACS stunned everyone and failed miserably.  How sick in the head are we when we can casually say $400 million set of fire for no reason is "anticlimactic."  In any sane country (ie not US of A) spending $1 billion to troll the living daylights out of the citizens of 8 or 9 states would be called the craziest thing they've ever seen.  Not here.  We reply... meh.

Meh, 2004 was basically the same as 2000, so no.

Love how the Romney campaign bought fireworks thinking they had won to only lose 332-206. I love how Obama won the Presidency only 15 minutes later than he did last time.
