Dear President Obama:

Don't have to worry

CNN projects Obama
re-election. Our long national nightmare is over. Gotta get me some sleep.
Let's just call it

CNN analyst lays out
the sorry news for Romney: Obama can be re-elected now WITHOUT Florida , Ohio , or Virginia .
Let's net this out:
very likely no change in the US
federal government balance of power. Democratic pres & senate, Republican
house.
Schweet! Tim Kaine the
new US senator from Virginia . Was a good
governor. Will be an excellent senator.
