Your numbers are meaningless.
You leave out the number of registered voters who stayed home. Your assertion that you don’t like the proposed number is as meaningless as saying there was another number.
Remember: 82.6% of all statistics posted on an online board are pulled out of the poster’s butt.
Then there was the fact that we had REPUBLICANS crossing over to vote for this guy and his brain damaged running mate. Something about Biden's hair ~ least that's what I've seen even here on FR, particularly among the "founding population".
It does no good to turn out our troops if they turn against us. Better candidates should put a stop to that!
ACORN and voter fraud helped, though. He likely got Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, and Florida through fraud. Republicans had 6 years of control to deal with the situation and did not do so.
You’d have to have some facts about the normal battleground states, and Virginia and NC and others that went from red to blue. Nationwide totals don’t mean anything, and the stay at home conservatives would have been most critical in the closest states, and the red to blue states.
I haven’t seen any data that really provides what’s needed to analyze those factors.
Thanks for the numbers. Obama had a great turnout among minorities and young voters. Women also bought his message hook line and sinker. Obama only had 41% of white men. So basically we need to find out why suburban women like Obama so much.
The Texas twerp was the last 3rd party candidate to throw the election to the marxists.
The major "stay-at-home" effect was in the 2006 elections...That gave the marxists control of congress...
While 2008 had a "stay-at-home" contribution, it was the namby pamby wimp "I'm an independent" vote that shifted into the marxist column to put obamao in the WH.
you post would be more interesting if you went from state to state and see how those votes played out....afterall, it might only take 20,000 votes to swing some states electoral votes....
but no matter....the real destroyer of America happens when third party poopers destroy the chances for good conservative or pub Senator or congressman, or governors....
oh how better would we be if we had just a few more votes in the house or senate....we'd be far better off...
but to satisfy you, I'll add that if you took the number of so-called good Americans who voted just to vote for "change" whatever that is...and the Americans who wanted to vote for the first nazi, I mean first BLACK to the presidency and of course you're varied group of nuts and hacks and idiot and ill informed then the likes of zero wouldn't have had a chance...
still intriques me that blacks or whites still think bama is some kind of black guy....
he's not...he's a nazi muslim leaning statist who has NOTHING in common with American blacks...
he has lived a charmed life....a rich life....he and Michelle my belle are part of the false elite...put there by their masters...
The Tea Party must not run third party candidates in any U.S. congressional election in November or at anytime. We need to reform the Republican party! kick out the Rinos! Defeat the Democrats in all races! Third party candidates will have the Ross Perot effect and will only insure the democrats controll of the U.S. congress and the destruction of America! ARE YOU LISTENING TEA PARTY! NO THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES! REFORM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!!!

I could be wrong, but I didn't think the presidential election was decided by the popular vote.
By my reckoning, Obama won by 987,429 votes - the margins of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, and Colorado. All battleground states. All fairly close (the widest spread was Colorado at 9 points - North Carolina, worth 15 electoral votes was decided by less than 15,000 votes). All states that George W. Bush carried in 2004. All states that everyone who was paying attention knew McCain had to win. And all states that suffered from significantly lower than hoped for Republican turnout.
So yeah, California put 3.5 million more votes in Obama's column, and New York added on 2.1 million more, easily overwhelming McCain's 900,000 vote margin in Texas. But those states were forgone conclusions well before election day. It was in the close battleground states that a relatively small amount of voter erosion tilted the balance.
No, but the Third Party sure as hell got us Bill Clinton. Thank You Ross Perot.
Now Ron Paul the “Ernest T. Bass” of politics can go jump in a lake. His trumped up polls mean nothing.
