A Win is A Win, But...
Obama won the election; saw that one coming. However, as I look at the election results, something very interesting sticks out to me.
2004 Election Results
- Bush = 51% 62.0 million votes
- Kerry = 48% 59.0 million votes
- Total votes = 121 million
2008 Election Results
- Obama = 52% 62.6 million votes
- McCain = 48% 55.5 million votes
- Total votes = 118 million
Two observations:
(1) BO won the election...by a margin barely more than Bush! ONLY ONE PERCENT!!! How does that happen after you spend over $600 million!!! (Outspent McCain 6-to-1)
(2) Three million FEWER voters turned out for the two parties in this election than in 2004!!! What was all that hub-bub about "record numbers of voters/"
A win is a win, but boy this one sure is lame compared to what we were led to believe would happen!
