Does anyone go over to Real Clear Politics? - use to go there alot during campaign for polls, etc

But its an overtly right wing site, but i admit to visiting frequently during the campaign, but have hardly been there since 11/6...

Does anyone check out the articles since the election, probably alot of conservatives crying the blues, and crediting Hurricane Sandy for President Obama's re-election, and/or other BS..

But it's now fun to read their RWNJ crap and remember who won the election.
Does give some insight into how the other side thinks (or tries too). And there are some left-slanting articles posted but it's certainly not a "balanced" selection.

I used to go check out the poll averages. Even though I knew it was biased crap that didn't keep me away. Its just pitiful and serves no purpose now.

good one going with GB now, 24-21 at the half...

I remember going over to RCP during campaign and seeing how some repugs like the shithead from the NY Post, John whatever his last name is, Podoholwitz, and he was so confident in a Romney win, as many of them were..

I guess the repugs didn't look at Nate Silver or PPP, who both had Obama winning....Almost all the swing state polls PPP released the Sun/Mon before election had Obama winning all the important states..

will beat the team in the idiotic neon green uniforms, then lose to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. It pains me that Brady will join a very exclusive club (Bradshaw and Montana are the only QBs with 4 rings), but that is the way it is. Brady is a machine, and he is well oiled this year.

nearly 600 yards of offense, very good offensive line, above average defense, played against one of best QB's in league in Aaron Rodgers...

Who knows, maybe it will be Harbough vs. Harbough in the Super Bowl,

What really pissed me off was how a certain representative from there would go on MSNBC and offer up false equivilance berfore the election, nothing was right or wrong or certain. Why? She was not willing to say that Romney was behind.
