    The final popular vote totals were 65,899,660 for Obama-Biden (51.1%) and 60,932,152 (47.2%) for Romney-Ryan.
    That isnt "close"

    The GOP stated in 2010 that their main objective to deny Obama a second term. Well, Obama will go down as a great president and campaigner.

      @sheehan1able if you're calling Obama a bad president simply because people agreed with him. Then literally every president was a horrible president because they lived in a environment control by their party and their affiliations. Every single president has been called evil or bad because they didn't do something that the other side wanted. That's just the tenant of democracy

    I love how they talk about how close it was in Ohio and Florida.... Obama would have won without Ohio and Florida, he could have won without Virginia as well. It was a broad election victory.

      We are trending blue with Hispanics becoming a bigger force in the SW.
      It will just get worse from here in Presidential years.

    President Obama had 3 million more in the popular vote. People did their research and chose the candidate of their choice.

    Gretta goes "inner city" when she talks food stamps. Does she not think that there are many rural Americans that need food stamps??

    As a Latino, I can say that generally speaking, they naturally fit more with the Democratic side than the GOP. While hispanics tend to be a bit more socially conservative, they are ,for the most part, intrinsically in favor of "big government" and support the welfare state. I think the GOP would do better to expand over all demographics rather than focus on this specific issue.

    exactly ELECTORALLY it was a landslide, not my fault that your voting system is weird. 332 to 206 my friend.

    No Marijuana Laws of states will be overturned because they conflict with Federal Law. They don't conflict. Federa Law will still exist. New State Law will still exist. A relevant question may be about Federal enforcement of Federal Law in Colorado, but that's not a conflict of laws. And no Federal authority can strike down the new law in Colorado. Gigot is just being silly

    It WAS the American people who voted on November 6, 2012, HELLLOOOOO!!! The AMERICAN people DO know and ARE sick and tired with the STATUS QUO! Regardless as to whether, according to Republicans, it was a small, tight, slight, win, it was a win, PERIOD! Bigots, Intolerant, Woman Haters, Orc Trump, enough IS enough. President Obama, please, pleassse, pleeeease, do NOT let the AMERICAN people down, pleeeaaassee!

    4 more years of this kinda BS is just depressing and I am a independent. The main problem is the media doesn't have to travel outside of the U.S where our morality is at question. Under (BO) we are weak and hopeless in the race to stay the #1 country in the world and we are to blame. We as a nation fell for the Bull S"T twice and we deserve every insult we are given as a nation because the media tell us who to vote for now and that is sad. I challenge any member of the Admin to answer my call.

    "The ascending coalition". lol. They were so sure that it was all over because Latinos and blacks and women would never vote republican again, but they did, in bigger numbers than for any GOP candidate ever. They have to keep this racial flame alive and it is so sickening.

    Romney lost because he didn't attack Obama's character, not the latino vote, not the Black American vote, character is the key. Example, Obama got 94% of the black vote and didn't attempt to attend the naacp meeting, in which Romney did. Obama administration has huge holes in their story on Libya and there was no attack. Obama is very cocky, arrogant and Romney didn't attack simple put. I love my country but I can't stand the liberal media for their support for Obama Vs the GOP, it Fuck Up.
