>> Overall, Romney won fewer votes than John McCain’s doomed 2008 campaign.
Not mentioning Sarah Palin when making a statement like this, as many recent commentators have done, is borderline criminal. Almost no one was enthused about McCain as a candidate. He very much represented more of same.
First of all, I like to differ with the author. In 2008 McCain got 58,343,671 popular votes, or 173 electoral votes.
In the 2012 election Mitt Romney got 59,134,475 popular votes which is a difference of 793,804 popular votes, and 33 electoral votes in favor of Mitt Romney.
Now to the arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
In 2008 he got 66,882,232 popular or 365 electoral votes, while in the 2012 election he got 66,611,250 popular votes which is a difference of 4,270,980 popular votes that he got less, then in 2008. The difference of electoral votes in the 2008 and 2012 elections are 33 votes less then in 2012
Needless to say is that he won the 2012 election through cheating, fraud and theft which is the only way the rats can win elections
