It's actually pretty close sometimes for Governor and U.S. Senate, too...a state-wide vote, not "gerrymandered" districts, and all the Democrat strongholds get their voters out (dead or alive) for the straight Dem. ticket in Presidential years.
It's just disturbing that the GOP/Tea Party/Libertarian/Conservatives can often make good gains in the mid-terms, but when it comes to the Presidential, there are these droves of people that come out (often with a lot of encouragement and assistance) for THAT, and whoever's up that year can get swept in...
I'm sure you know Harry Reid stole his re-election, I think it was just 2012...what to do? I am sincerely hoping he is about to become Minority Leader...it would be a start, anyway, and I just hope America survives this Administration.
Illegal vote count gave obama 6 States that he actually lost.
