Even if there was a computer error, Romney would not have won anyway. Imo, the botch was that 12 million less people voted in 2012 than they did in 2008. Shame on them.

You're one to talk! As if your nasty sweeping statements like the above are much better...

It's very possible, and in many of these incredibly small (we're talking a few hundred people) voting districts McCain also got 0 votes in 2008.

3. Mitt got his butt kicked because 3 million conservative voters sat it out because of the Ron Paul effect. He didnt create a buzz for himself.
4. Mitt got his butt kicked because he didnt go negative early enough (early summer) and he was too fuzzy on his policies (which all presidential candidates are for the most part).

This election was his to win and Obumbums to lose.

Now the *******ians are having a good ole time but what they are talking about is the almost 9 million votes that Onumbnut's lost from 2008 or 13 percent.

So in effect Mitt was somwhat responsible for his own loss more than Obummers was responsible for his win.

Which worked out for me as I won some money betting on HusseinO even if I did vote for Mittens.
See you at the mid terms *******s. Gird your loins its gonna be a rocky two years.
Not a bad post, too bad you felt the need to ruin its integrity with the addition of all the silly little juvenile names which add nothing to the content of your post and everything to your obvious unbridled hate for President Obama and the Democrats.Which by default places the reason for your post as nothing more than a vehicle to convey hate and silly names and unworthy ofr serious response..
Keep up the silly names,hate and disrespect for your fellow Americans and expect a similar outcome for the GOP in 2016.

hmmm

sorry but in 2008...phili, PA( Total city)...obama had 83%..to mcains 16.%..to a 3rd party guy getting 1%

in the 2008 election the district that obama had the highest.(98.6%) was district (ward) 11...in that ward the result(raw) was this for obama/ mcain/ nader / barr/ and write in 6852/ 69/ 6/ 4/ 0..

but meanwhile you are going to try to tell us that obama got 100% this time.....hmmm

Working people werent voting Romney.

If you ask Karl Rove, yes it was "botced" because the GOP couldnt purge enough votes in FLORIDA and ARIZONA

The BRAD BLOG : FL Guv Picks His Hand-Picked Sec. of State to Head 'Review' of How FL Guv and His Hand-Picked Sec. of State Screwed up FL's Disastrous Election


While a real independent review of what happened in Florida --- and elsewhere in the country --- is certainly needed, frankly, so is a criminal investigation of the attempted voter suppression by both Gov. Rick Scott and his Sec. of State Ken Detzner in the Sunshine State, as well as by other Republican Governors and Secretaries of States in Ohio, Virginia, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Iowa and a number of other states this year.
So who will be stepping up for those reviews? If the President was serious on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning during his victory speech when he declared "we have to fix" the problem of voters standing in line for hours on end just to vote, then might we recommend he start by directing his Dept. of Justice to begin a criminal investigation of this national disgrace --- and this direct, purposeful, unapologetic assault on the most sacred American value of democracy --- immediately.

Hopefully the Dept of Justice can start charging the GOP with voter fraud.

A mural of the President of the United States on the wall of a public school is "shenannigans" [sic]? The mural had been there for since 2009. You are misinformed. Again.

Apparently some folks can't figure out the intricacies of Philadelphia's neighborhoods and electorate the first time they read about them.

Incorrect. The 100 percent issue occurred in 59 of Philadelphia's voting precincts. The city has 1,687 precincts overall.

Here's the story again; maybe this time it will sink in:

In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes - Philly.com

actually the city has 66 wards.....Each ward contains no fewer than 10 and no more than 50 precincts

http://www.seventy.org/Downloads/Ele...08_Results.pdf


again look at the 08 results...meanwhile obama is no longer the unknown, no longer the guy of 'hope and change'..less liked than 4 years ago

not saying this would change the national results...not saying obama didnt win...just saying that getting 100% of the vote in a section when there are at least 4 people running (jill stein and gary johnson still pulled in .5% each of the total phili vote) (plus an allowed write-in) is pretty fishy
