Nothing like sensationalist language. It was not an overwhelming defeat. It was 60.2 million to 57.5 million.
It means that for every 100 Romney votes that Obama got 105 Obama votes. I could get that flipping a coin 205 times and not consider it unusual at all.
The good news is that they did have in place a ground game plan. The bad news is they didn't test it ahead of time.
A ground game is not a Phone Bank
I wish the Republicans would have fought a recount on the must win states. We all know fraud was across the board in these states. He should have especially fought PA where the Republican Election judges were denied entry to like 7 polling places for several hours. Even if the final count left him not winning; it would of made the Dems think twice that Repubs do have the balls to call them on it. Get out in front of it, etc.
Instead Romney folded.....read today that many of the votes were not even counted before a State was called for Romney....
And shame on Fox news calling it when Rove was saying wait a minute. He was totally shut down. Folks may not like him but what he was saying made sense.....
This election was filled with voter fraud.
Compare the crowds at the rally’s between the two camps. Romney’s was packed, obama’s was half empty with folks walking out when he started talking. But it wasn’t reported that way.
Axelrod sueing the polling company’s to keep the numbers close so America doesn’t get upset.
If Obama was so loved, he would have won W.V. too. They never go red.
But how about that, obama won the states that really mattered where the fraud is being reported and nothing done about it.
In fairness to the Romney campaign (and speaking as a software developer), I’m sure they ran a very large number of tests on this system. But it’s difficult to simulate the number of simultaneous users that you have on election day and there’s no possible way to simulate all the possible technical and user-related problems that can occur on election day. My take on this is that the GOP needs to use a simpler and less-sophisticated system next time that doesn’t rely so much on real-time data from field operatives, but just gets the basic job done and enables volunteers to contact all the likely GOP voters.
Nonsense.
Just look at actual voting numbers from Florida:
look at St. Lucie County, Fl ALMOST ALL THE PRECINCTS WELL INTO THE 130-160% TURNOUT

Is that the kind of enthusiasm you saw for Obama? I’m in Cook County and there wasn’t that kind of enthusiasm for him. This election was stolen.
Stay focused and lay off your flawed candidate meme for a bit. If they get away with this they’ll do it again and again no matter who the candidate is.
