Looking at the National numbers ignores THE FACT the we lost this election due to TWO COUNTIES...
Two counties, Cuyahoga, and Dade...
Thats it.
Add Loudon and Prince William in VA to that list... but even if we squeaked out wins in Va, Fl, and Oh, we still needed NH, IA, or CO.
I thought we lost Hamilton (Cincinnati) county by 5 points.
That pretty much sums it up, with help from one or two counties in Virginia. The DEM voter registration and GOTV efforts here in Miami were shocking in their scope. You could tell that all of the enthusiasm here was with the dems just from being in line at the polls. And the dems scoured the vast suburbs of southwest Miami and found thousands of non-Cuban latinos to register. Not only is that why Obama got 63% of the vote in Miami-Dade but that’s also what ultimately knocked off David Rivera.
I think we lost FL and VA too
