So, there's more than enough room there for Republicans to retain the House.

Nope - even if this were a genuine D+6 election (like, say, 2006 was), the GOP would have lost the House, most likely, because that's what happened the LAST time we had a D+6 election.

Sorry, but the missing 3 million Romney votes are missing due to fraud.

I know that as a third party guy, you have a vested interest in trying to pin it on "Well, people just didn't like Romney enough to turn out" - but the problem is, none of the indicators suggested that to really be true. Even the Democrats were afraid they were going to lose.

What I’m saying Yash is that the numbers don’t support it being a D+6 election. If Obama had 60.2 and Romney had 57.5, that totals 117.7 million. Let’s call it 118 million to accomodate 3rd parties. That means Obama had 51 percent and that means Romney had 48 percent and that means 51-48 = 3. That makes it D+3 at the most.

Romney did not expect to get seniors. Then we were hearing that Romney was getting seniors. Seniors sat it out this time. They young people who were supposed to be apathetic did turn out.

As I said earlier, the difference is only 50,000 out of every million voters. There is plenty of room there for Republicans to win the House.
