The totals
The current totals of the vote count have it at Obama 50.4%, Romney at 48.1% and others at 1.6%. That was an advantage of about 2.6 million votes for Obama.
It also appears that about 11.6 fewer million people voted this year than in 2008. That is disappointing. Regards, D-Ray

Michigan had its highest voter turnout since the JFK election. 67.2%.
JFK was 72.7%. Obama/McCain in '08 was the next highest at 66.2%.

I'm suprised the my state, Virginia, went for Obama.
The elderly woman standing in line behind me on election day said she had voted for McCain in '08, but what she admires about Obama is that he has taken so much personal abuse over the last four years and still presses on, still remains optimistic....."If that doesn't show strength and character, what does?" I tend to agree. Regards, Dave

Maybe. We'll see. I see certain things changing. What I see happening locally, is that a few years ago the hard right folks were running amuck. Other folks were afraid to say anything. That has changed to some degree. People are beginning to speak up and the teabagger types aren't so brazen.
In '08 it was a bit harder to find an Obama/Biden sign in my 'hood. This time....not so much. Kinda like the Rebel Flag thing. When I came here in '86, it was everywhere. Now.......................Meh, every now and again.

This isn't exactly breaking news but I haven't seen it mentioned here.
The Romney campaign has conceded Florida to the President. (Meanwhile, Florida says they won't be done with their count until Saturday.) That gives President Obama 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206, 62 more than he needed. He carried 26 states. John
