“Is that why both Romney and Obozo received fewer votes in 2012 than did McLame and Obozo in 2008?”
Actually, Romney received more votes than McCain, which is why I said your assumption was false.
Actually, no! Romney received 792,814 fewer votes in 2012 than what McLame received in 2008. Try looking up the numbers like I did.
You could say Romney received a higher percentage of the vote, which he did (47.2 vs 45.6); or that Romney received more electoral votes (206 - 173). But, that was not the point I made.
Obozo received 6,841,491 fewer votes in 2012 than 2008. If people claiming to have love of country, and who opposed the evils of Obozo, had voted for Romney instead of staying home, casting no vote at the top, or voting turd party, Romney would be the President, and Obozo would be sitting on the sidelines.
