The right's trying to say it was close. It wasn't (vote, polls)

[HappyTexan]

The popular vote showed it was close.

But it was the right 59 million people, living in the right place that got him re-elected.
30% of eligible voters decided our fate for the next 4 years.

Are Ohio and Florida the right or wrong places?

I meant that with regards to electoral votes.

Yeah, it was close. Real close.

Never mind the fact that:
1) Romney/Ryan lost their native states (MI and WI) and states they held offices in (MA).
2) 3 million vote difference in the popular vote
3) Obama took all toss up states except North Carolina
4) 4 states legalized gay marriage
5) Elizabeth Warren beat out Scott Brown
6) Elected an openly gay senator
7) The rape republican politicians got kicked to the curb
8) Obama got re-elected despite having so much hardship and criticism from the right from the start.

Oh and did I mention COMMIE, SOCIALIST, BABY KILLING, GAY LOVING, MARXIST, FASCIST, MUSLIM BLACK GUY GOT RE-ELECTED AGAIN???

Just in case you did not know. You can thank me later.

Close-that is delusional. 20 states have been blue 6 straight times, they own 243 electoral votes. Add the repeat blue Nevada, Virginia, and New Mexico, and future Repubs if they fail to do a 43 and widen the tent (Latinos), would have to run the table to squeak by.

That is a stupid game plan, and a guaranteed losing strategy.

The electoral college was not an ass whipping. If you want to see what a real electoral college ass whipping looks like I suggest you go back and look at the 1984 election between Reagan and Mondale.

So we're going back to the Reagan and Mondale days, huh?

It was an ass-whipping no matter what decade you are in.

It was a GIANT loss. 332/538 = 61.7-38.3%.
