    I think Obama has been to all but a very few states. Most Presidents who get two terms wind up doing that.
    PS: Chuck Schumer, when first elected to the Senate, visited each of the New York state counties he did lose in that election before being sworn in. That was a stunt, too, obviously,

    Because... he's trying to build momentum going into Inauguration Day.

    That's not going to happen from visiting Massachusetts.

    Also, he likes when big crowds cheer for him.

    Pro tip, YF: His momentum starts or doesn't once he's in the White House. Revving up crowds now is useless unless he pays their way to the inaugural (wouldn't shock me if he did).
    PS: Head of the Anti-Defamation League said today if there's a registry of Muslim Americans, he'll show up day one to sign it.

    Obama didn't visit Nebraska until January of this year.

    Both of these -- there being no wall and his supporters abandoning him for that -- would be just fine by me.

    Those crazy Japs probably think the words you say have something to do with what you mean or are going to do. The Donald will straighten them out.

    I don't believe this.

    The left is trying to make the argument that he has no mandate, based on the popular vote. Senators like Rand Paul are talking about voting against potential cabinet nominees.

    Keeping his base revved up will help dampen opposition.

    Baghdad YankeeFan is a pretty damn good nickname.

    Americans say he has no mandate. Not just the left. People grounded in reality recognize it was a close election. In case of close elections, a majority always prefers compromise. Most of the time, American voters are like children in a troubled marriage. They may like Mom or Dad best, but what they really wish is that they'd stop fighting all the time.

    Not directed at Gee, but, we're back to taking polls seriously again?
