the MSM helping O right till the end-- all because of a couple of photo ops before he sported back to campaign http://current.com/shows/upstream/93953146_exit-polls-hurricane-sandy-was-a-deciding-factor-for-millions-of-voters.htm Exit polls by CBS News reveal that Superstorm Sandy, and President Obama’s response, was a crucial factor for two in five voters nationwide. Twenty-six percent of those polled said Obama’s broadly praised response was an important factor, and 15 percent — about one in six voters — said it was the most important factor in their vote: IMPORTANCE OF OBAMA’S HURRICANE RESPONSE Most important factor 15% Important factor 26% ***************** HOW GULLIBLE AND VACUOUS CAN VOTERS GET?!

The Founders gave serious thought to some measure of responsibility to vote, such as ownership of land...when we see that 40%+ considered the ObaMessiah's SEEMING initial hurricane response (which is NOW looking MUCH LESS persuasive as a perception-- Katrina redux?) an important factor in their voting decision, it is EASY to see why some measure of voter acumen might be preferable.

When most people on the street cannot name their 2 U.S. Senators or the V.P., the ignorance level is pretty scary for our universal plebiscite.

And our stupid/ignorant voters (such as immigrants who cannot read the ballot and are handed numbers to punch) keep swelling in numbers.
Obama won. Not by a lot, but by more than enough.

In the end it came down to the battleground states, and President Obama won most of them by slim, but decisive, margins.

Florida - Obama +1

Ohio - Obama +2

Virginia - Obama +3

Colorado - Obama +3

New Hampshire - Obama +5

Wisconsin - Obama +5

Iowa - Obama +6

Michigan - Obama +7

Of the nine battleground states, only North Carolina went into Mitt Romney's column and that by 3 percentage points.
