Turnout was apparently down, at least as a percentage of eligible voters. The president was re-elected by a reduced margin. The challenger didn't inspire the turnout surge he needed.
Every re-elected president since Andrew Jackson has won with an increased popular vote percentage. Barack Obama didn't. He won 53 percent to 46 percent in 2008. His numbers as I write are 50 percent to 48 percent over Mitt Romney. That could go up to 51 percent to 48 percent when California finishes its count, which took five weeks in 2008.
Obama owes most...












I didn't say they lost because of their VP choices (they did some other things poorly too). I said they MIGHT have won if they'd made better running mate choices. Is that too difficult a distinction to grasp?
Both Palin and Ryan ran off more independent voters than they attracted -- and that's a problem for a presidential candidate who wants to win.
I think you need to come in and change right sides. You're losing some grip in the corners.
while you continue to try and convince yourself how noble you are for voting 3rd party
repubs don't need advice from imbeciles like you who support other parties
Vescere bracis meis.
guess that makes all the difference that you voted for Johnson even though he couldn't gain any traction in a large field of candidates
seems your hero dropped out early on when no one supported him
but you remained totally loyal
how cute
