that Romney could still be elected if enough states boycotted the Electoral College voting to deny the EC a majority.

There was also a horrible thread yesterday(I won't link to it)that showed RW tweets joking and fantasizing about Obama being assassinated at his inaugural.

Many of those people said they would be ok with Biden as president.

I wasn't posting that to ATTACK Biden...it just puzzled me that these people would say Obama was horrible but that Biden was somebody they could live with.

This thread was about white RW weirdness...it's NOT a "trash Biden" thread. Can you please just trust me on that?

I know you have this reflexive assumption that I post on DU with malicious or cynical intent...but I really don't. And I'm not the only person who's seen this "Obama's evil-Biden we could live with" meme from the Right. It's out there. I didn't make it up and my posting about it casts no aspersions on Biden at all.
