21. What's insane is that those were the choices.

Where anything to the left of teabagger freedomworks insanity is a win.
Here's what's wrong:

1. Obama won by a mere 2% vs the dregs of the Rep. party. I mean, look at what was offered in the Rep. primaries, and what kind of a candidate the Rep's eventually ran with. Every one of those people including the winning candidate would be outliers in a sane society. Yet it was a contest!!
2. Obama lost the "white" vote 59 to 39 %

That says something deep.

So OK, I'll say it: if Obama were 100% "white" then, all things being the same, the popular win wouldn't have been a mere 2%, given that kind of opposition with those kinds of ideas it'd be over the top. And if the win were over the top, the notion of what is "political center" in US politics would be radically different.

I congratulate US Americans for electing Obama for the second time! It was totally worth every effort put into it. It's now time to take all factors into consideration and redefine what is meant by "the political center" - to realize that the notion of "political center" it is very badly skewed and that it's now proven that this is correctable.
