It's that the people who rail the hardest against "big government" are often the biggest recipients of federal money.

Aren't those numbers  just a reflection of farm subsidies + low population density? Subsidies which actually only directly benefit a very small portion of the population.

No way.  Farm subsidies are a tiny part of the budget.

It's why taxes in those states are so low. They take the federal money and use it to cover budget shortfalls instead of where it's supposed to go, social services.

Andrea Mitchel is reporting on alleged "tension" between Obama and David Petraeus, who will be coming to the WH today to discuss his future at the CIA. Hmmmm

There seems to be some pushback on whether this is just a discussion, whether he's getting fired, or whether he's getting promoted (perhaps to Sec of Def)

A spokesman for the Senate Intelligence Committee tells Politico that Acting CIA Director Mike Morell will testify on the Benghazi attack next week instead of David Petraeus, who resigned on Friday, admitting to an extramarital affair.

Fox News: "Petraeus could see the writing on the wall and got out as fast as he could!"

Not sure if this should go in this thread or random talk but it's election related.

I found out that my sisters Italian teacher decided to talk about politics and specifically made not of his support for Romney, his disdain for Obama and had a lengthy discussion about Obamacare and how it shouldn't cover Abortions because that's wrong. My mom wants to let it go but I'm going to talk with my father about it. I think that's highly inappropriate, although I do think teens should be more informed about politics in a non-bias format.

Show up to the school and talk with the teacher yourself. Tell him it's good to get kids interested in politics but it's wrong and worth firing him over for telling people how good/bad Romney and Obama are and that abortion is wrong.

Threaten to tell the parents and the principal if he does it again.

And then drop your toothpick and walk away.

I don't think so- I believe it has to be within .5% to trigger an automatic recount.  Romney could probably ask for a recount but I believe his campaign has already said they won't.

Betting on the wrong horse: The night Benjamin Netanyahu will not soon forget

The astonishment that seized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his advisers on Wednesday morning, as President Barack Obama crossed the threshold of 270 electoral votes needed to return him to the White House, was as absolute as it was authentic. Netanyahu was utterly convinced that the presidency was in the pocket of the candidate of his choice, his old buddy Mitt Romney. In private conversations, he ridiculed anyone who advised him not to rule out a scenario in which the other candidate was the winner.

What made Netanyahu and his political adviser, the American-born Ron Dermer, ignore the various polling analyses - such as Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight blog for The New York Times - that were published every day in the American media, and that almost universally predicted an Obama victory?

That question has a two-word answer: Arthur Finkelstein. Until the end, the legendary strategic adviser and polling expert - who is working with Netanyahu and his running mate in the upcoming election in January, Yisrael Beiteinu's Avigdor Lieberman - hammered it into their heads that Mitt Romney would be the next president of the United States. Finkelstein predicted a 4 percent win for Romney in the popular vote (he lost by approximately 2 percent) and victories in all the swing states (Romney lost all but one).

You have to attack Fox News and sneer at them and accuse them of bias, don't you -- because they're actually doing the job you merely pretend to do. They shame you by their genuinely balanced coverage, so you have to lie and accuse them of being what you are: ideological hacks, providing propaganda in order to advance a cause, while hiding the unhelpful truth.

Paula Broadwell, the biographer who had an affair with CIA Director David Petraeus, sent threatening emails to the State Department's liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command, a senior military official told the Associated Press. The emails from Broadwell to the official, Jill Kelley of Tampa, Fla., triggered the FBI investigation that led to the discovery of the affair.

Grover Norquist said that Obama doesn't have a mandate because he was elected solely on the basis of being being "Not-Romney", because Obama convinced voters that Romney was a quote "poopy-head".
