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.
I had to explain to my 11 year old son last night why it's improper to assume his Language Arts teacher (who is Black) voted for Obama, simply because she is Black. It's hard sometimes teaching your kids proper ettiquette, when you have to lie to them to teach them the proper moral/value.
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.
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.
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.
