obamas percentage of the car vote, one possible explanation..

not that i care, dude is back in the white house, but has it been mentioned, him coming out for marriage equality probably sent those southern cacs running for the hills brehs. i think that is one big factor. or am i reaching? they was never with him anyway but that fragile bond that the held in 2008 probably broke there. and reduced his share.

I'm more impressed with this win than 2008.

1) he moved to the left culturally with marriage equality, and most poor cacs vote culturally more than economically. so he lost some white votes there.

2) the money these republican super pacs had this time as opposed to last time, had more of a damaging effect than anything he faced in 2008.

3) like u said, he still only lost 2 states that he had last time, which were miraculous for him to win last time, and were conservative states.

4) he had a record, and a vision, and the people validated it.

5) the fact that republican turnout is down. if obama was really as hated as people on the far right claim, it would have been up, especially compared to John Maccain. but romney got less than john mccain, proving a lot of people didn't hate obama that much or think his performance was that bad to inspire them to vote him out. compare that to 2004, when turnout went up big time, cause the left and the right were both equally inspired to determine the bush result. obama turnout is along similar lines as regan in 1984, and clinton in 1996, where the country was doing well enough that voter turnout was down.

Exactly... *ESPECIALLY* your point about people believing Obama was hated now because of right wing propaganda...

The fact that Romney was still campaigning on Election day while Obama was in his hotel room playing 2k13 on Xbox Live spoke VOLUMES...

It was a miracle that he even won Indiana in 2008... that was a moment...

He won the EC & the Popular Vote... and these dudes are out here mad because they fell for the Republicans telling them that the country hated Obama...

They got what they deserved...
