November 7, 201213 yr Author Fox News just said that Obama will be re-elected with less of an electoral college vote than he was originally elected with. Is that right? Popular vote is 134,000 in favor of Romney.
November 7, 201213 yr Fox News just said that Obama will be re-elected with less of an electoral college vote than he was originally elected with. Is that right? Popular vote is 134,000 in favor of Romney. 365 in 2008. No chance he gets that many this time.
November 7, 201213 yr Author 365 in 2008. No chance he gets that many this time. I forgot to mention the rest...he's the only President to be re-elected winning less in the electoral college than he did during his original election.
November 7, 201213 yr I forgot to mention the rest...he's the only President to be re-elected winning less in the electoral college than he did during his original election. Gotcha. Interesting. Says a lot about the opposition.
November 7, 201213 yr Author Gotcha. Interesting. Says a lot about the opposition. Is that right, though? If so, I think it says a lot about both the incumbent & the challenger.
November 7, 201213 yr Author Romney leads by 335 votes in the popular vote with 73% reporting. :scared:
November 7, 201213 yr Author David Gergen makes a great point about the President...if he shows up to the first debate, he dominates the electoral AND the popular vote, thus getting the mandate he's not going to have after tonight.
November 7, 201213 yr Romney leads by 335 votes in the popular vote with 73% reporting. :scared:As I said about 4 hours ago with Florida and 7 million voted counted. AMAZING that it could be that close!
November 7, 201213 yr Is that right, though? If so, I think it says a lot about both the incumbent & the challenger. Well, when I said it says a lot about the opposition I was saying that this President was ripe for picking.
November 7, 201213 yr I'm always amazed at the immediate overreaction from both sides when the election results have been determined. We as a country have gone through this how many times? Yet we always survive and the country never gets to the "near death" level that many immediately predict. Come on. We didn't elect a king. Our system works. President Bush wasn't evil. President Obama isn't evil. Clizzy dropping gems of knowledge. I'm stealing this for Facebook.
November 7, 201213 yr Author Well, when I said it says a lot about the opposition I was saying that this President was ripe for picking. I agree. I think it speaks to the weaknesses of both candidates.
November 7, 201213 yr Obama now leads the popular vote by about 20,000 with 75% reporting. West coast votes coming in. The President will win the popular vote.
