Their new talking point now is if it wasn't for the darn hurricane Mitt would have won easily. The hurricane stopped his momentum. The disaster "forced" Obama to work as a leader in helping the victims.
So, Sandy it was God's way of choosing the President?
Also, wasn't this supposed to be Carter vs. Reagan part duex?
I've never heard anybody claim that the 2004 race wasn't close. Link/quote?
In this election Obama won the popular vote 50.5 to 48 for Romney. 2.5 percent is close in my book. If someone wins a marathon 2:30 to 2:27, I consider that as close. Run it again next month, and the tables could turn.
Sure it was for a elction with a sitting president.Also voters took away the super majority i sneate last mid term and gave house control to repulblicans, Nothing has changed with this election. Seems that change did workout so well that it convinced voters as polls predcited.
3 million votes out of the probably 400 million people we have in country now is NOT a landslide.
50% for BO versus 48% voting for Romney is NOT a landslide. It is a virtual TIE.
Tie, no. 3 million is not unusually small nor large a gap. But from the standpoit of electoral votes, it was a 21.6% huge gap, 61.3-38.7.
270 is all that counts. With a 44 point Latino gap and likely 2 million more Latinos voting in '16, plus a 11% gender gap, the underlying data is the real alarm bell. 19 states blue 6 times in a row that outnumber 23 GOP states red the same time by 42 electoral votes.

Yes -- that's well under 1% of the population. The media cannot really have redefined the word "landslide" that much. Obama didn't have a landslide in 2008 and he certainly didn't have one in 2012.
He may be gloating over his big landslide election but he's wrong to think he had one.
The problem with all the media hype is that Obama now believes he won't have to compromise on anything, he believes he has a clear mandate which he does not have.
