2008:

OBama 69,297,997
McCain: 59,597,520

2012

Obama: 54,773,837
Romney 53,716,689

Looks like a whole lot of voters stayed home.

Those figures are outdated as the counting of votes continues. It is now Obama 59,631,249 votes compared to Romney's 57,000,976 votes.

Yes, a lot of voters stayed home but far more stayed home for Obama than Romney.

Yep ..both candidates had less (Obama had a lot less so it’s true people were less enthused about him but didn’t turn to Romney, instead stayed home). Romney picked up two more states than McCain and was closer in OH, and VA than McCain.

Then we will get the what we deserve.
