1. and without Republicans trying to suppress the Vote it would be even larger

remember those forms people checked for Dem were thrown out by republicans ? and other crap they tried .

stupid fucking media whores wishing Romney had won popular.

2. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sick of Repubs whining about him not having a mandate. He wasn't even supposed to win in this economic climate no other president has since Roosevelt.

3. a lot of votes left to count in California, so the margin will grow

he won CA by over 20 points.

[outsideworld]

4. Remember how a poll came out

showing that his CA margin was 15 or something lol , looks so foolish now

[ywcachieve]

11. Woot Woot! CALIFORNIA!

We love us some Democrats here!

5. Obama has a mandate

I just hope he doesn't give in before even negotiating. I want him to be a tougher and smarter negotiator when dealing with congress. America is starting to move to the left and will continue to do rapidly as younger voters take control. i also want him to campaign for his agenda with the American public if the republicans don't cooperate, and exposes them to voters.

6. Which hacks were pushing that stupid meme that Rmoney would win the popular vote

It's hilarious hearing them say that the ReTHUGs got it wrong. Many of them not only got it wrong but also pushed the ReTHUG talking points.

7. Let the final #s show Mittens with 47% of the vote...please please please

8. This is what the worst president in living memory said after the 2004 election

Bush claims mandate, sets 2nd-term goals / 'I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it'

November 5, 2004

President Bush speaks to reporters at his first news conference following his re-election at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004 in Washington.

"I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it," Bush told reporters. "It is my style."

As he had done in his victory speech Wednesday, Bush spoke of building a bipartisan consensus and reaching out to the 48 percent of Americans who voted against him. Yet he made plain that he had no intention of moderating his agenda to reach that goal.

"When you win, there is ... a feeling that the people have spoken and embraced your point of view," Bush said. "And that's what I intend to tell Congress, that I made it clear what I intend to do as the president; now let's work."

There have been few signs, beyond a few token words, of conciliation from either side in the immediate aftermath of the contentious 2004 election. Bush's victory was large enough for Republicans to assert they had a majority on their side, yet too small for Democrats to feel intimidated about standing in their way.

"He's not reaching out; he's just saying if you agree with us, you can come along for the journey," said Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez. "And I suspect that is how it's going to play out in the second term."

9. Repubs have no basis to claim "NO MANDATE". None.

[demwing]

10. Sure they do-at least in their minds

They're Republicans...when has reality ever mattered?

[LisaLynne]

12. But... but ... but ...

Some of those votes are by women and brown people! That doesn't count!!!

/Repug reasoning.

13. Is Mitt down to 47% yet? CNN still has 48, but I'm hoping for a cherry on the election sundae

[outsideworld]

14. Not yet , but hopefully by tomorrow

[outsideworld]

15. Now 47!!

[democrattotheend]

16. 47.9, right?

Any chance it drops another 0.5?

[outsideworld]

19. the 47.9 figure is when obama was at 61,678,367 and he is over 62 million so

mitt most likely has dropped from 47.9 to 47.5

most websites have not updated to these current figures

20. Only 51% Of washington has been reported
