  • heres a questions, how many people actually voted obama in? and does the government actually tell us the real tally, maybe they just decide who they want anyway, or maybe the freemasons decided and made it happen

  • Comment removed

  • Mr. Kurtz, despite your awful predictions over the course of this election cycle :D the TPMTV channel is a great service to a lot of people. Keep up the good work!!!

  • You don't know DICK!

  • you know that ad divided we fail? they say democrats and republicans should stick together...no way! republicans have messed up this world, all thanks to bush. i think we would be great only democrats!

  • YOU SUCK LOSER!

  • lol.. u better get into a new business u just called it totally wrong all the way..

  • your faulty thinkin about obama still persist your problem is you blame the economy but you cant see the mans intelligence because of his skin . you cant see the forest because of the trees

  • Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vp or president...she is lack intelligence.

  • How much money did the National Republican Party pay for Sarah Palin's High-heel shoes? Sarah Palin played too much Political "footsie" with the G.O.P. Conservative males. What kind of example is the Republican Party call itself doing ? The National Republican Party should take the fall for this Political Beating on November 4, 2008. Palin should carry her high-heels in her hand and walk bare-footed in her stockings. Do the Republicans think that we are "National Fools"? Go OBAMA..."Yay".

  • plus all those winks and gestures, can u imagine her talking to world leaders? they will tear her a new asswhole

  • you thought that way because your either a rasist or your too dumb to see the truth your right about the first black president being republican and that was colin powell but you need to open your eyes and dont hate its gonna be aiight have a little more faith in the blackman who you think built america wasnt white people yall just steal so....

  • NuckinFutzGirl - I love that Post !

  • Yeah I thought the election would be stolen again to be honest.

  • Well, I see why this guy is not a political commentator, he could not even feel the pulse of society, the economy, the sentiments about the wars, and the general resentment built around America about the republicans. I've learned English by breating it, and you could see it coming by simply being an American.

  • Nationally; politically Palin is finished. She may be done at the State level as well. As her constituents have been publicly shamed, they may be less likely to re-elect her. The more news that comes out Im convinced she purposely ALLOWED herself to be used and thrown away like a $2 whore. I dont think she really understood the ramifications of her choice. Shes what we call: Nickel Slick. But her opportunistic ways dont necessarily infer she is as mentally bright as she thinks she is.

  • I don't think Palin is finished. Maybe you haven't heard, but Ted Stevens, a convicted felon, has been reelected. But already, the senate minority leader, possibly the most powerful Republican in the US now, Mitch McConnell has said Stevens will not be seated. So, it will be up to Palin as governor to decide who the Republican candidate will be in the new senate election in Alaska. So, she is definitely not finished. She could choose herself if she wanted to.

  • actually, no, she could not appoint herself. what she can do is resign as governor, letting her leutenant governor take her job, then have him appoint he as a senator. though with all the backlash on palin, i do not know how long she will last

  • It's a lovely fantasy world you've created.

    I wont begin to debate the merits or lack thereof; of your created vision. I won't do it because the wounds of this election are too fresh, and so many Republican supporters are STILL wrestling with emotions and disappointments and acceptance of this NEW reality.

    I just posted my "opinion".

    It differs greatly from yours. I share don't the affection and affinity for Sarah Palin that you have.

    I think she's OPPORTUNISTIC, and self-serving.

  • 'As her constituents have been publicly shamed, they may be less likely to re-elect her.'

    Three words: Second Bush term

  • PoliticalJunkie: I think I get your point, however; consider this-short of the Exxon Valdez oil slick, Alaskan news politics are as foreign and remote to most Americans as their interest in Croatian politics. Her less than stellar performance put her limited skills-as well as THEIR(the voters) decision making abilities in the spot light. Up until then, it was: Sarah who? And Alaska what? Now their secret of making poor choices is out; along with her limited skills set being exposed.

  • What is more disturbing than Sarah Palins choice to be used like a $2.00 whore; is the fact that FAUX NOISE is hiding behind their need to protect the confidentiality of their source information , and was willing to allow this country to go down in flames, should the un-thinkable were to have happened. FAUX NOISE(FOX) knew this PALIN information as early as mid-September. They knew it, and sat on it.

  • Somehow someone at this station (FOX) should be brought up on some kind of ETHICS violation. And before anyone starts typing to fire off a missive about the Constitution: Ive read the 1st Amendment. Roger Ailles and Faux Noise were willing to sacrifice this country and ALL it stands for: for a buck. It borders on Treasonous activities.

  • President-Elect Barack HUSSEIN Obama won this election due to the economy, period.

    To quote Former President Clinton: ITS THE ECONOMY; STUPID.

    All references to race aside.

  • The Republicans preformed an age old military tactic: Scorched Earth .

    Take the spoils of war and leave the village in such a state that if villagers return; there would be nothing to return to. Now the Republicans just have to wait for America to return to their short-term memory ways. In the mean time their Religious Base will use mis-information, and mis-direction by trotting out their #2 fear tactic (after terrorism): End Times and supposed Revelation prophecies of doom.

  • well, you were wrong on all accounts, you sir=FAIL. This time Republicans=FAIL as well. Party's over, time to heal the government.

  • Sir i have a lot to comment about your prejudgment of the election but do to my respect for others and their opinions, i m going to recommend one thing. What i would want to recommend to you is that to please think very hard about what you are gone say and about what the outcome of your opinions might lead you to.

    Thank you.

  • What happened to the McCain/Palin ads at the right of this page?

  • Hey TPTMTV, who the fuck directed/produced/edited this piece of shit? What's with the random pullback/pushin(s)? Wasn't there any b-roll you could put in to cover up the fact that this was multiple takes (and at least make the piece interesting to watch)? If this is all you're going to do with video, you might as well just produce a radio address.

  • that took some integrity to make this video :)

  • Its people like you who make Obama look like shit.

  • Why the surprise? Black men got to vote before women got to vote.

  • i just remember being in 15, i'm 21 now, and asking my history teacher whether her thought we would have a white woman as president before we had a black male president.

    he swore on his LIFE, that we would have a black man before ANY woman.

    i never believed him.

    and now look! :)

    amazing.

  • If Obama leads the country like he ran his campaign, things WILL CHANGE.

    One thing that is certain: Obama will do what is right for the country. He will offend greatly and immediately because people don't realize change will be painful.

  • lol you got it all wrong

    amazing result

  • What the hell was wrong with David Kurtz? I knew Obama was going to be the first black President as soon as I saw him give his Keynote Address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. I can't see how anyone could have watched that and NOT known what Barack Obama's future was going to hold.

  • my were you wrong.

    Not to toot my own horn but i saw obama coming, certainly before hillary.

  • lol all my predictions elections were embarrassingly wrong

  • I agree this time you went a bit too far with the criticism. I agree with most of your posts but in this case they were clearly joking.

  • Am I the only one who gets his humor, particularly the Greek columns behind him. Oh wellz. DK, I really appreciated your reporting over the last few months. Nothing wrong with twisting the knife a little.

  • yaaahhhhh... but it happened

  • Quite honest!!! OBAMA RULES

  • Oh yeah, what's really exceptional about this election is that it's the first time the people *didn't* listen to the pundits who had everything figured out in advance.

  • Thanks for the mea culpa DK, fortunately no one was listening to you.

  • I don't think the presenter is being racist himself here; rather, I think he felt that a racist electorate wouldn't vote for a black man. People are really uptight and inaccurate when throwing the term "racist" around these days.

  • People didn't like Romney or Huckabee because they are pious loons. Romney comes from a religion that was explicitly racist, and is a racket and a con job. Huckabee thinks the world was made in 6 days, nuff said. This guy's predictions seem a little off to me. I didn't think Obama had much of a chance either until he was nominated though.

  • Hey tpmtv. Good thing you are not setting up camp as a fortune teller then. Great vid.

  • (DAVIDR64YT)Son...you've got no more chance of winning a battle of wits than a BOAR HOG has of growing tits and giving birth.

    When OBAMA/BIDEN WON: We as a people (ie: CITIZENS) WON.

    You're a TOTAL delusional dipshit.

    So I say again: dry your tears, scratch your ass and get glad, and have a COKE and a smile and get over it and yourself.

    Lets have a nice round of applause for our contestant.

    Now go away and accept these parting gifts.

    In other words don't be such an asswipe.

  • i think you should wait 4 years before youve decided that the citizens have won. no point in counting your eggs before they hatch or whatever the hell that saying is

  • OBAMAAAA!

    no more white retards in the white house!

  • "no more white retards in the white house"

    I voted Obama, but im not going to say he's good until he's proved it. He may be the best president, and he may be the absolute worst. His skin pigmentation is not a qualification, and people who voted for him solely because he is black are idiots. You're no less racist than the people who think he's "a dern muslim n a nigger y'all". Chill out.

  • You are a racist. You also have shifty eyes...

  • for all you people that want to slam him.. think about it for a econd he did not have to post this. Tolerance works both ways.

    I hope more people come to terms with the shift in this country. If you smack them in the head everytime one does .. how do you expect people to change?

    It is not 100% their fault - society is having growing pains we all must be as respectful of others. As Obama ran his campaign our campaign- he took the high road.

    because it leads to change.

  • had you taken your racial googles off you would have seen it was Obama that had the advantage the whole time. He was the canidate for change.

    We the people have spoken.I hope you and many others grow as person and become more tolerant of the innate racist 'filter' that this country up until now has intertwined into the fabric of this society. It is unraveling as we speak..I proud of this country even more. We have more then our America back we have enlightened many.

    Thank President Obama!

  • so you voted for him because he was black? You racist fuck

  • lmao you call me racist.I am a white women.

    you are even more ignorant than I thought. Congrads...you are a tard

  • So it gives you a reason to be racist, bitch? Congrads on spelling congrats hypocritical fuck!

  • yes, thank you.

  • Where are you reporting from? It looks like the same sort of neo-Roman temple that Chuck Todd reported from on election night.

  • He's at Millennium Park

  • I foresee Huckabee 2012. Be prepared.

    Always be closing!

    Obama/Biden... The Team.

  • It didn't surprise me. I was rooting for him all along, but there's always the part of your brain that is cynical and assumes the worst. That is, after all, what the last 8 years has been like. So I don't blame ya

  • Journalists aren't in the business of making predictions, they're in the business of reporting the news. And for that, I think you guys are the best. Just stay away from the crystal balls, I am so glad that you were so very very wrong!

  • TJE PROBLEM IS DAVID KURTZ AND THE REPUBLICANS DIDN'T THINK; PERIOD!

    BARACK OBAMA HAS WON THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS!

    WE HAVE WON, it's happened whether you accept that or not. You are afraid and disappointed. It will be a Democratically controlled Senate and House with a Democratic PRESIDENT. You have witnessed a living history.

    I receive your defeat like a gracious winner...HOW DO YOU ACCEPT YOUR LOSS?

    God bless OBAMA/BIDEN and God bless these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

  • Nothing about your post sounds like a "gracious winner." Your line should have read:

    "I receive your defeat like an insecure idiot with ideals so skewed that they rival only my own consciousness in blissful stupidity. And I am somehow happy with that."

    There we go. That's more accurate for your post. :)

  • DAVIDR64YT: SO, you wanna mistake GRACIOUSNESS for weakness, huh?

    FACT: BARACK OBAMA HAS WON THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS!

    So dry your tears, scratch your ass and get glad, and have a COKE and a smile and get over it and yourself.

    Lets have a nice round of applause for our contestant.

    Thank you for playing Republican SmackDown 2008.

    Now go away and accept these parting gifts.

    Johnny Jacobs, what do we have for this contestant?

    OK...move along folks, nothing more to here!

  • I'm not against Obama for president.

    You're not Obama. You didn't win anything.

    Our new President-Elect won. You did nothing but cast a vote, like all us other Americans who stood in line to vote or voted early.

    Anyway, you've said nothing that's convinced me you're not an idiot. In fact, your response to me, although humorous to the third party, only furthers my point.

    Now I'm done with you. You may now get your last laugh if you wish.

    Make it good, we're all reading.

  • "I receive your defeat like a gracious winner...HOW DO YOU ACCEPT YOUR LOSS?"

    lol made me laugh when you are obviously rubbing it in republicans faces, bit hipocritical lol

  • bandito36: Not really being hypocritical, or insincere. It bugs me when someone mistakes a bit of graciousness for a sign of weakness. I will admit to getting my ire up when people wont move off the subject of the Republican loss, as if their frustration with their candidates miss-steps will some how generate an election recall. I know some people are steadfast in their beliefs, and others just want to blow off some steam. I get pissed, tho when people refuse get over what they can't change.

  • So what? What does religion have to do with leading?

  • you're a dumbass...

  • You mean 1776-2000.  You must have not been around while Bush was president and he tried to destroy every aspect of our nation. Now we have the Renaissance of our great country 2008 to... Bush is Nero. Obama has his work cut out for him.

    P.S. Why do you hate America so much? Why don't you leave!

  • Moron.

  • pures0wn,

    ahahahaahahaahahahaahahaahah, you bigot!

  • well then GTFO

  • Love it or leave it bitch

  • how could you not of thunk it? Whats with the zoom..ehh? new camera man perhaps..

  • Thank you TPMTV for your hard work and informative videos! Predictions are irrelevant. You fought the good fight! For that, I thank you very much!

  • I'm so glad you were wrong. :)

  • I was full steam Obama after his book but I thought Hill might be better in a general because I knew they would hit him with bricks and I thought Hill might have a chance against Romney in a General because she could play dirty. When Hill went negative she lost me I was with Obama win or Lose. Iraq is what made Hillary lose. I thought there was an unwritten order Woman, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Gay, Atheist and Muslim The first Muslim president will be some time around 2176. lol

  • wow. david is a bigger idiot than i have ever would have know had he not made this video. THank you david!!

  • Well David, everyone has to be corrected sometimes.

  • TPM is the best in the business. I subscribed to the veracifier site a while back and I have been following you guys for the better part of this election. This is the future of journalism and you guys are way ahead of the curve.

  • I knew Obama was going to win after he beat Hilary in the primary...even then he was running a campaign that is so much better than anything I'd ever seen before. I knew McCain wouldn't be able to compete with it, and as long as Obama stayed truthful and fought back Republican lies (without going too negative) that he would win.

  • I knew Obama would be president in 2004 after hearing his DNC speech.

    I just thought he would run 2016 or 2020.

    Who knew this would happen the way it did....

    it was amazing, and meant to be.

  • He thought McCain would win as late as September? George Bush fucked it up for the Republicans years ago--it was never "McCain's to lose"

  • You always sound uncomfortable in front of the camera, maybe you're just not comfortable in the realm of politics.

  • This post show's how racist/bias a white guy named David Kurtz can be. Good Job David.

  • I am black, and I never thought that Obama could win. This has nothing to do with racism, we just failed to acknowledge how mature this country really has become.

  • I don't understand how? You are racist in judging all white people to be racist. He never spoke of any dislike to black people, just that he believed america as a whole country would not vote in a black candidate.

  • Exactly. The last sentence you just freaking said. Quote:"he believed America as a whole country would not vote in a black candidate."

    YOU Said BLACK Idiot! That's racist because he thought A BLACK PERSON Couldn't be president. LET ALONE HIM!

    justcallmesoso, I agree. Still this guy is racist in a way and i know it.

  • honestly i didnt think a balck person could win either not a s aracist but just someone who that that white prostetant america was afraid fo having a black man in power. i say that i can tell 100% im not a racist im just a person with an opinion which doesnt include superiority of one race over the other. the man speaking also does not mention race superiority and is therefore not a racist.

  • Well I got my own opinion and so do you. I say he's being kind of racist. You believe not.

  • You never heard of hidden racism have you?

  • of course i have but i dont understand how people could run around calling this man a racist for expressing non racist opinions. its only a few steps away from accusing everyone of being a communist or something for the random shit they do.

  • He has racism in his heart. A lot of people do because after Obama won, all people could focus on is how they never thought a black man could accomplish such a thing. And the fact that McCain's entire campaign was negative definitely illustrates hidden racism. People can deny all they want but thats the truth. Obama was call every name in the book and people stood by what they believed about him. Now people dont want to be accountable for what is so blatantly obvious.

  • erm, I think you are missing the point. The point is that "holding people accountable" for racism is not the best way to handle it. Obama actually embodies the best way to handle racism, which is for non-whites to continually engage racists in a dignified and intelligent manner. This is the way to uproot the inner/hidden racisms that exist in people today, not the energetic, witch hunt kinda methods.

  • I agree with that but sometimes its just obvious to see where peoples hearts are at based on what comes out of their mouths and sometimes their actions.

  • So why do you have a job at TPM. You are an idiot. I would have told you "you are completely wrong" over a year ago on all of those. Why do clueless people get cush jobs like yours?

  • that's funny...

  • FYI for those not from Chicago.

    There is a statue of Lincoln in Grant Park. And there is a statue of Grant in Lincoln Park.

    Fun facts to know and tell.

  • If all goes well, there will be a statue of Obama as well!

  • Maybe there can be a statue of President Obama in both those parks one day!

  • WOW. David Kurtz is terrible are political predictions.

  • i actually liked watching your videos but know fuck u for not believeing in change!!!

    OBAMA *08*

  • "TPMtv: Who'da Thunk It?"

    WHAT? YO)U should have been paying attention dumb ass.

  • The guy is clearly clueless and should give up talking or thinking about politics.

  • You guys were so objective that you forgot to really listen to what was going on :P

    Forgot to pick a side. Bleive in a side :P

  • fuck yeah obama!!!!!!

    no more god damn crazy conservatives running this country

  • lol
