Its interesting that Mitt lost the swing states. And the non-swing states. So much for red America.

actually is going to finish with just 47%. So delicious.

And yeah, winning the PV by 4 points is a landslide.

is how much closer Ohio was than the other swing states. Good thing we had all the field offices, unions, and other GOTV efforts there as the Repigs either fought back very hard with their push of the religious right or they flipped votes.

I don't want to think they could actually flip votes but I put nothing past them.

1.7M more votes in the 12 swing states.
2.3M more votes in the remaining 38 states.

That is a swing state shellacking, my friends.
