2.5 million words

Obama, the first black president, had an unusually enthusiastic African-American vote. In 2012, 13 percent of the electorate were African American, up from 11 percent in 2004.

What this means is that an energized [ahem] black vote gave Barack Obama an additional 2.5 million votes.  newsmax

Which also means the DemonRats just have to run a black candidate for president every time to have a built-in electoral advantage. Deval Patrick, anyone?

The mystery is that ALL pre-election polls portended a marked decline in black voter participation' and on top of that an actual decrease in black support for Obama among probable black voters.

Not so much of a mystery though, is it?

Don't blame the black vote.

Romney pulled in less voters than McCain.

We Republicans own this fail completely.

The sooner we act like adults, fix our mistakes, and actually try to win instead of servicing our supporters, the better.

As the last of the "lost" ballots get counted, it seems Romney got almost exactly the same count as McCain.

I thought he was at least a little bit more inspiring than that.

We Republicans? You got a mouse in your pocket? There are no Republicans around here.

My thinking it is just a little more sophisticated than that. My thoughts here The real ugly stuff is coming when I can pull it all together

I-RIGHT-I said...

Ugly is good, get on it. Don't forget to factor in the Republicans in this fraud. They did everything but drive the dead to the polls to help O win the day.

And next time they'll do the same thing with the women's vote when they run Hillary.

Sorry folks but but we missed our chance....they've got a lock on the country until 2024...

(wonder if the Irish economy turns around I can claim repatriation)

1) Abolish voting by mail
2) Voters' finger dipped in indelible ink after voting in person.
3) Mandatory prison sentences for voter fraud

Rodger the Real King of France said...

None of that can happen. Even if GOP tried, The Dems and the Dems would scream racism, and the courts would agree.

No. The word is "failure". Please, stop nouning verbs.

Romney outpolled McCain in almost all locations, even the 'swing' states.
Obama vote was down, but not down far enough.
With 93% black vote, it was enough to win. He scraped the bottom of the barrel, scoured it, polished it and then buffed the polish getting all out that he could. THAT won the vote. Add in 'early voting' and you get many days of vanloads of people being hauled to the voting booth. Possibly, multiple times. It didn't happen on November 6, but the days before.
Axelrod knew, Cutter knew, and voiced the confidence. "Don't worry about the early returns, we have the votes banked to win." Early returns were voting day returns, not early voting.
The 99% turnout and the 90%+ Obama vote in many precincts were the indicators of fraud. The increase in voters in WI, compared to the summer recall vote, R's were a small % higher, but D voters were on the order of 30% higher in many counties. They got out the non-voter, the dead voter, the repeat voter, the incompetent voter and any other kind of voter you can imagine, and some that you would not believe. It was not a fair contest, and cheating won the day(s).
Early voting must stop. Absentee ballots must be inspected by a pair of inspectors from both parties.
It would be non-productive, but I'd like to see an inspection of the voting records of the 'inner cities', comparing who voted with prior elections, who is on the voter roles, vs who get utility bills, etc. I'd bet there are a lot of 'voters' that do not exist, have moved, or deceased.
