The Stages of Grief of knowing you picked the wrong nominee [View all]

Denial:
"What? You can't talk about Bain closing factories! It was all good!!!!111!"
"Romney never said that about the 47% mooches! You're taking it out of context!!1!"
"The polls are skewed!!!1!"

Anger:
"Oh yeah, well Obama is a Muslim/Marxist/Nazi/Communist/etc.!!!1!"
"Anti-Colonialist!!!1!"

Bargaining:
"We're lowering our expectations at the debates."

Depression:
"Well, looks like we're going to become a Shariah-Marxist state..."
Don a hazmat suit and venture into freeper territory at any given time

Acceptance:
From the same people who thought that Obama would be found to be ineligible and the 2008 election thrown out? Yeah, right.
