Why?
As far as the election goes, it makes no difference whether Romney loses California by 10,000 votes or 1,000,000. All that matters is that Romney wins enough states to get him over 270 electoral votes.
Also, as far as the Democrats and the lamestream media go, it doesn't matter if Romney wins with less than 50% of the popular vote or with a landslide, they will never recognize that he has a mandate or even that he legitimately won.
Before Obama, do you know who the last Democrat President was that won more than 50% of the popular vote? Jimmy Carter in 1976 (barely making it over with 50.08% of the popular vote).
Before Carter you have to go back to LBJ in 1964. Before LBJ you have to go back to FDR (Kennedy and Truman each won with less than 50%). Before FDR you have to go all the way back to Martin Van Buren in 1836, and that was before there were any Republicans (or any states west of Missouri).
In 2004, Bush won with 51% of the popular vote, beating EVERY Democrat President EVER elected except LBJ, FDR, Martin Van Buren (1836) and Andrew Jackson (1832). How legitimate did the media consider Bush after 2004? For that matter, Reagan won almost 59% of the popular vote in 1984. How legitimate did the media consider Reagan?
Personally, I hope that Obama loses by a nationwide landslide, but every vote for any candidate other than Obama reduces Obama's percentage of the popular vote.
Because a huge popular vote win makes the post-election lawsuits less likely.
Because a huge popular vote win shuts the liberals up completely.
Because a huge popular vote win prevents a replay of 2000, where the liberals all called the Republican President illegitimate.
Because we are not just fighting to unseat the Kenyan, but to de-legitamize the Kenyan News Media.
That’s why. (Off the top of my head, in 30 seconds. I could come up with a 10,000 word essay on the subject but I have to get to work. I’m taking the ferry from Hoboken into NYC this morning.)
