Obama won in 2008 69 mil to 59 mil.
Right now it is 54 mil to 53 mil Obama leading.
There must be a lot of votes left uncounted before we can say where Romney’s totals will end up.
A lot of the west coast is still out, including half of California.
AGREED. It’s all over but the counting, of the final provisional votes, of the disentangling of the hanging chads.
But, let’s face it, it’s over!
I feel so bad, I have a little grandson, my first,just 3 weeks old....what kind of country is this child going to grow up in?
I am just so sad tonight, so much sadder than in 2008.
I’m always a good one for “keep fighting”, but maybe our cause is really lost now. We’ll just sink down like the rest of the commie countries!
A LOT of votes weren’t counted. Now they never will be.
Politico said the day after the election in 2008 that 130 million voted. Wikipedia says the final result was about 131 million. So these numbers probably won’t go up.
Have we seen numbers to show the base stayed home? It’s possible that Obama’s negative campaign drove down turnout of independents who disliked Obama but thought Romney was an unacceptable alternative.
Some of the negative campaigning was trumped-up garbage like the war on women. But some of it was extremely predictable and was used against Romney in the primaries, like his flip-flopping (Romnesia) and his record on Bain Capital, easily spun as someone who lays off workers, as shown by the ads Newt used in South Carolina.
