That’s not true. Obama did everything he could illegally to win. And that is not 52 percent.
I know there was some fraud, etc. but he didn't steal this election IMO - people across the board obviously thought he was the better candidate. Look at all the exit poll categories and see what a broad appeal he had.
Even the rich, who will be milked in the new regime, liked him better. Why is that?
We need to think about these things and also determine the extent to which, in the TV age, looks and demeanor really play a huge role in candidate. And make sure our candidates are competitive in this realm, shallow as it is. Our message gets lost when we run a very old, kind of grouchy, man unfortunately... I wish everyone just sat down with papers on various issues, but they don't.
