TPSG Election Winners & Losers

Here are my winners and losers of the 2012 elections.  

Winners:
-Barack Obama - another 4 years, need I say more? 
-Nate Silver - his statistical analysis was on the money, he proved his haters wrong.
-PPP - their polling nailed it, most accurate national pollster in 2012.
-LGBT Community - the tide is turning, Baldwin, Sinema, ME, MD, WA & MN all with big wins.
-Marijuana Legalization - for recreational use no less in CO & WA.  
-Women - there was a war on women and Republicans lost it.  
-Bill Clinton - he was everywhere for Obama, he was the power player of this election.
-Moderation - loses by Akin, Mourdock, West, Walsh, people want results not partisanship. 
-Marco Rubio - Republicans need a token to make it appear they are reaching out to Hispanics.
-Hispanics - their growing numbers are making them election day players.

Losers:
-Dick Morris - his Romney landslide prediction was a bit off, is he ever right on anything? 
-Karl Rove - his high rollers lost millions, his meltdown was classic, his credibility took a big hit.
-Rassmussen Polling - they seem to have a right wing biasCredibility has to be damaged.
-Tea Party - their influence is waning, are they hurting the GOP more than helping?  
-Donald Trump - he continues to embarrass himself and hurt his brand
-Republican Party - too old, too white, too male, they aren't keeping up with America's demographics.
-George Will - another Romney in a landslide prognosticators, how can his credibility not take a hit?
-FOX News - their election night meltdown will go down in the anals of wacky election night coverage.
-High Roller Donors - poured in millions, got the status quo in return, not a great return on investment
-Reince Priebus - he didn't deliver the Presidency, or the Senate & the GOP house majority lost ground
