The few critical votes? Hussein won by a shade under 5 million votes. The election wasn't even really all that close now that most of the votes have been counted.

I'm talking about the few swing precincts in the few swing states.

I believe someone analyzed that it came down to about 450,000 votes across Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.

Obama could have gotten most of his 5 million lead from California and New York - heck, he could have doubled that amount, and it would still have come down to that half a million in 3 or 4 swing states.

And Romney was able to at least stay at least somewhat competitive because of his big vote lead in Texas and much of the south. The point is that Hussein won by 5 million votes. The election really wasn't that close. What reason is there to think that 450,000 votes should be flipped the other way? Heck, Obama won in 2012 by a couple million more votes than Bush beat Kerry by. Sad, but that's the reality of it.
