I guess that’s why Obama got 10M less votes than in 2008.

Partly. But their campaign operation was at another level.

Facing a uncharasmatic “moderate” Republican who ran a lackluster campaign had nothing to do with the Obama victory?

I beg to disagree.

“How it was possible to take a moribund economy, high unemployment, and no detectable foreign policy and turn it into a sweeping electoral victory over a credible opponent is one of the great political stories of our time. “


simple- between 3.5 to 7 million voters affiliated with the party of your opponent don’t go out and vote...its easy to win when your opponent doesn’t show up or shows up at half strength....

He gives those that vote for him 236 years of our prosperity which has bankrupted our republic and he wins by 2 million out of 350 million votes... that is a purchase jug ears... not a win.

I think it was 9M as of the day after the election but they actually continue counting millions of ballots for a couple of weeks afterwards. Both Obama and Romney will pick up a few million more.

However many less they got, without that operation it would have been worse and he would have lost.

But they knew a dirty election game would make many conservatives staying at home and they made it.

Pretty easy to explain. 3 million conservative Republicans did not vote. They didn’t show. The GOP failed to provide them with policies that would bring them out, as they did with McCaine, and they were not biting the second time with Mitt.

Limbaugh dedicated a whole page to the issue:

And its been revealed also here:

Title: Where did the Voters Go?

(Neither the GOP or the left want to talk about it.Instead its ‘ Obama is an electoral genius......Buahahahahahaha!)

This part is fascinating.

In Chicago, the campaign recruited a team of behavioral scientists to build an extraordinarily sophisticated database packed with names of millions of undecided voters and potential supporters. The ever-expanding list let the campaign find and register new voters who fit the demographic pattern of Obama backers and methodically track their views through thousands of telephone calls every night.

Liberals have power propaganda machine, unions, community organizers.......

They can easily divide and confuse conservatives.

Quote of the day from site here at source:

“I told you Ann, nobody cares anymore. Put the dog on top of the car and let’s go.”

Obama’s campaign was nothing more than a carrot on a stick for the freeloading moochers nothing great about that.

Not buying it. Not even Der Schlickster in all his largess ever, ever enjoyed this kind of media treatment. Even Clinton had to face the media in his Presidency. This guy has a full fledged ministry of propaganda at his disposal. I will say it again, take care of the media or there is no winning.

Strip away all of the analyses of this election and realize it boils down to this: the something for nothing crowd outnumbers the producers and achievers in this country. The gravy train is running with full steam ahead and right now there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Obama uses his race as a force field, people are afraid to criticize him out of fear of being labelled a racist.

Let’s not forget that Obama has the lap-dog main stream media in his corner like no politician has ever had.

Stories like Fast and Furious, Solyndra, Benghazi, don’t matter if the networks choose to pay little or no attention to it.

There were hardly any news stories about the number of dead soldiers in the Middle East, high gas pricess, etc.

Of courses, Romney’s tax returns were what everyone had to hear about for months on end.

I could go on and I’m sure the rest of you can.
