One of the main reasons Obama won this election is by New Voter Registrations. If you look at Florida, North Carolina and Nevada it is obvious. He won Florida by a mere 200,000 votes. But, the registrations at Miami Dade,Orange and Osceola county itself amounts to more than 200,000. It is amazing that even after spending almost 100 million dollars in Florida alone, most of the counties remained red steadfast. Three of the big counties Palm Beach, Broward and Hillsborough have almost the same numbers compared to 2004. Obama’s barrage of ads did nothing to sway the voters here. Same story with North Carolina. Obama won by just 14,000 votes. But the increase in votes in McKlenburg county is 85,000 and Wake county is 78,000 over 2004. Nevada is almost shocking and embarrassing. In Clark county (Las Vegas city is here), he got almost 100,000 new votes many of them being fraudulent ACORN votes. GOP should start a new registration drive right now and slowly build up the base in four years. It is mind boggling how the Pubs missed this simple strategy. Just by new registrations, they would have got 50 EVs more.

Good analysis.

I would argue that this will be almost unrepeatable for the Democrats in 2012 and definitely unrepeatable in 2016.

You can only vote for the first time for the first black president once.

Overall turnout in 2008 was only 3.5% higher than in 2004 - but 12% higher for Democrats.

Here's the amazing numbers:

(1) African-Americans make up about 11.5% of the population.

(2) Due to high participation, they average 16-18% of the total electorate.

(3) Preliminary results indicate that they were 22% of the electorate in 2008 - probably an 80% turnout of eligible African-American voters.

(4) Assuming that over 90% of these African-American voters voted for the President-elect, that amounts to approximately 26 million votes.

(5) The President-elect received 67 million votes. That means that 40% of his votes came from African-Americans.

Lots of voter fraud in Florida. I knew of two people, blacks of course, who went to Florida to vote...no telling how many others did the same thing. This election was won mostly by voter fraud.
