To be fair, it's difficult to accurately assess electoral meta-trends when one is suffering from a terminal case of recto-cranial inversion.

There was no "Obama squeaker." It was a decisive win.

The President, when he's declared winner in Florida, will have 332 Electoral College votes. John Kennedy had 303. Richard Nixon had 303 in '68. Jimmy Carter had 297 his first election. George W. Bush had 271 in the 2000 election (when he lost the popular vote tally). In '04 Bush received 286.

Let's keep this in focus.

Quite possible. But if Hillary runs. I think it will remain High.

I wonder if the Dem would have won had the Republican candidate been Black?
Maybe the GOP should actually try it and find out

IMO...unless the candidate is Colin Powell there is no way blacks will vote in large numbers for a black republican.

I have to think they'll try to get Marco Rubio to run in 2016.

LOL... that isn't happening.

Marco Rubio had one of the best speeches at the RNC and they completely ignored it because Clint talked to an empty chair.

Until the old white men die off (harsh, I know..) the GOP will continue to paint Latinos and Blacks as illegal, lazy, good for nothing criminals.

And now Morris is peddling a new 'real reason' Romney lost.
Dickmorris.com

The amazing thing is that, despite spending 2012 being wrong pretty much every time he discussed the election -- thereby defining his degree of credibility very clearly, and certainly not for the better -- Dick Morris will no doubt continue to make a lot of money from rather gullible people.

lol "squeaker"

yeah it was real edge of my seat stuff. By the time they were showing the tallying in FL as close as it was, anyone paying attention knew Obama was going to win.
