Can anyone, at this point, imagine Obamugabe winning more votes this year than he did in 2008?
I don't even think HE believes that crap.
OF course, FDR had a third and fourth election where his totals fell off a bit from his second term totals.
One more observation...
Presidents seeking re-election who LOST, but still got more popular votes than they did in their first term:
Grover Cleveland, 1888
Martin Van Buren, 1840
Another fun factoid, in 2008 Obama got over 52% of the popular vote. The last three Democrat Presidents to get more than 51% of the popular vote were Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Andrew Jackson.
Of course, everyone that voted against Obama was a racist.
Obama and America are different now that any other election. Do you think that we will be like any other election?
The Bill Clinton is the ONLY Democrat to be elected to two terms since the election of FDR and Clinton never got a plurality of votes. Take Pee-rot out of the equation and Bubba may never have been elected to one term.
The Protestants went back to voting Republican after they messed up in 1932 and 1936.
Andrew Johnson was not really a Republican. Was 1864 National Union party ticket.
Really hard to see how Obama can do anything but win by a razor thin EC margin IF he could win.
Unless Romney does something unforeseen, I see no scenario where NC, Fl,and Indiana go to Obama. I think Romney will wind up winning VA. And Obama isn’t stealing Missouri or Arizona.
Romney needs to LIVE in Ohio, Colorado, Nevada and Virginia.
Interesting list and facts. Thanks.
I have family records that show that two of my direct ancestors voted for Washington in 1789.
You make good points.
Wow! That’s some list. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks SoFloFreeper.
