John McCain (Republican) 59,948,323 45.65%
If the vote total in 2012 were the same as 2008, but 6 million Obama voters support Romney instead, Romney wins. But is it possible that 15 or 20 million people are so disgusted with Obama that they would support Romney? Imagine a vote total of 49 million for Obama and 79 million for Romney!
Romney hasn’t been at Bain for 20 years, and the public in general has no idea what he did or didn’t do while he was there. Obama has been there 4 years and the overwhelming number of voters know EXACTLY what he has done. Yeah, go ahead and go after Romney on his performance on Bain. Go ahead, make his day.
