If I read about the "landslide" election once more I will be forced to hurl bile. The raw data...the true numbers speak what happened in this election.
Obama won by: 204,577 in FL 206,770 in OH 202,110 in VA 13,993 in NC 25,836 in IN 119,896 in NV 140,732 in IA
That comes out to 913,914 votes. So yes...people are claiming McCain was crushed by 7 million votes but in all reality it was 913,914 votes in total that Obama needed at the end of the day. Turn out was lower than 2004 for the GOP...about 20% less. We pretty much know the reasons why Conservatives stayed home and fence sitting moderates went for "Change", but if we put a solid Conservative next time on the ticket we can surely pass up 913,914 make up voters in 4 years. These were the states that mattered the entire time.
We had good turn out in traditionally heavy red counties...if we are to be serious about reversing course in 2010 with the mid-terms...then focusing on a million voters spread across these states is not asking much at all if you really think about it.
Sounds pretty good. Except that in the next elections we’ll have to overcome Chicago politics voter fraud on the national level.
repbulicans need to push for a cleaner voter registration list. Hate to see ppl vote multiple times or dead ppl/nonexisting ppl voting
Do you really believe the turnout was less than 2004, when you look at the people who registered to vote that was supposed to be the most in American history? I don’t believe that, and just wonder what happened to those votes.
Lordy, and that’s after all the FRAUD going on. Thanks a lot you “stay at home” idiots, and you who voted for this Marxist to ruin our country for our children and GRANDchildren, damn, each time I come across one of you, you will hear my mind in full.
As someone posted on a thread earlier today, you're assuming there will be another election...
ACORN
A similar analysis done in 1988 showed how the change of some 500,000 votes in strategic states would have elected Michael Stanley Dukakis.
The GOP had their chance-they had the POTUS and Congress.They could have gotten voter ID through for Federal elections.
FBI needs to get cracking now. The mid-terms are crucial as we can set the tide like we did in 94...undermine the hell out of the marxist just like the left did to Bush for each and every day of his 8 years. Give a taste of his own medicine...not to mention Howard Dean won’t be leading the party any longer as he is stepping down.
How did Fox news call those states so early? If the numbers are this close how did they do it? Did they rely on exit polling?
Change the following from Obama to McCain:
102,289 in FL
103,386 in OH
101,056 in VA
6997 in NC
12,919 in IN
70,267 in IA
59,949 in NV
Total change from Obama to McCain: 456,863
Governor/Secretary of State offices crucial in 2010 election. The Secretary of State is where the fraudulent voter registrations get removed.
Republicans can learn from the Democrats (imho) by sticking with and supporting the candidate that makes it to the top of the heap.
I don’t know this for a fact but I suspect that there were a lot of people who stayed home rather than voting for McCain because they didn’t want to “hold their noses.”
Get real. Hope they enjoy the Dahlibam’s term of office. See if it’s any better than what would have been the case if they’d voted for McCain.
obama has at least as much political capital as Bush had in 2004. Something tells me BO will not sit on his hands and waste it as W did.
We know that the SoS of Ohio had over 200,000 “questionable” votes she wouldn’t turn over before the election. I estimated that’s how many each State that ACORN worked in that the dems were worried about had at least 200, 000. Hmm. Looking at your figures it looks like they had what they needed.
Republicans must do everything they can (in Republican states) to stop this early voting fraud.
It opens the system up to fraud, and fails to take into account last minute issues.
The GOP failed to heed warning after warning in years past that Democrats were reaching "critical mass" in their ability to stack voter registration results by....
Disallowing military ballots
Motor voter (inner city Democrats simply rubber stamp absentee ballots and the GOP is helpless to check for authenticity)
Massive third world immigration, especially Latin American influx which votes overwhelmingly Democrat (nothing against third world countries but let's have a little balance)
Republicans must stop being overcome by guilt at race, wealth, health care, taxes, etc.
IT MIGHT BE TOO late for conservatives to recover as Democrats will surely have MORE power to slant their ability to fraudulate the votes in years to come.
Or don't.
so where the hell were they coming up with the 7 million number? this does make me feel better however...
Does this take into account the fact that Republicans have been leaving the GOP since 2004?
