Final Tally Shows Election Wasn't Even Close

Los Angeles Times: "More than five weeks after election day, almost all the presidential votes have been counted. Here's what the near-final tally reveals: The election really wasn't close."

"In the weeks since the election, as states have completed their counts, Obama's margin has grown steadily. From just over 2 percentage points, it now stands at nearly 4. Rather than worry about the Bush-Kerry precedent, White House aides now brag that Obama seems all but certain to achieve a mark hit by only five others in U.S. history - winning the presidency twice with 51% or more of the popular vote."

and the horserace media, Rasmussen and Gallup look dumber with each passing day.

I don't believe they are really that stupid but I believe they know which side of what their butter is.

Therefore, they are entertainers only. Do no rely on them for much other than that.
