“And we laughed thinking zerO’s move to get nasty and partison during the campaign in order to appeal to his base was dumb because the infamous indies would win the election.”
Yeah I have to admit I fell for that. Seemed logical. Traditionally, if you are only pandering to sew up your base late in the election while the other guy is grabbing moderates/indies, you are headed for defeat.
But unless it was just straight out fraud, Team Obama must have calculated their base way wayyyy larger than anything Romney could mobilize and win with. That’s why a campaign that seemed to be running on small ideas and pettiness actually was executing a winning strategy. They have the votes.
