Edited to update subject line.

1. I read somewhere yesterday that in California.. PBO's

margin of Victory was greater than both of bush's. Also, in Calif.. the President's margin was more than Reagan's or Nixon's.

[lexw]

9. Than I must be in one of the rare areas of Los Angeles—I am surrounded...

...on all sides by Tea Party Repubs.

[WI_DEM]

23. Well considering that Bush lost CA to Gore and Kerry that is pretty easy to do

The last GOP was win in CA was George Herbert Walker Bush in 1988 when he beat Dukakis narrowly something like 51-47 percent.

[Cha]

30. My bad.. I wrote that wrong! I meant to say California

only once with the reagan and nixon comparisons. the first Margin of Victory over "bush" should read for the whole country.

[freshwest]

2. Woot!!!

[democrattotheend]

3. Wasserman hasn't tweeted all day

Have any new votes been counted?

[Fresh_Start]

4. I saw the numbers by county....

NY and NJ were missing over 1 million voters due I guess to Sandy.
The lions share of those would have gone to Obama because those counties went to Obama.....

[Onlooker]

5. He's over 65 million!!!

7. I've updated the OP :) n/t

[ProudProgressiveNow]

6. Wow!

[FailureToCommunicate]

8. 51% to 47% Oh, da irony.

[sheshe2]

10. K&R

RMoney got the vote of 47% of Americans ...and they are not OUR concern!

Go Obama!

[jenmito]

11. He's now up to 65,057,385 and 50.9%! n/t

[grahamhgreen]

12. Excellent. He has no excuse for caving in to the Republicans.

[Duer 157099]

13. Jeez, not to seem like too much of a "the glass is half empty" sort of person but

60 million votes for Romney sort of tempers any excitement I might have had.

60 fuckin million fuckin idiotic American voters. Holy hell.

[jenmito]

14. Obama's glass is not half empty. It's 51% full compared to Romney's which is 47% full. n/t

[Jamaal510]

15. And that's actually more than McCain got in '08.

Oh well...all that matters is that Romney will never be president.

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Yeah, but he's still shy of Bush's total from 2004

By about 1.5 million votes.

[Tx4obama]

18. Huh? Did you mean Obama or Romney?

2004

Bush: 62,040,610

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Romney

Follow the thread, my dude.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. I agree ! Same lunacy as when people voted for Bush second time - even after they

knew he lied about WMD

"The WHOLE world thought Saddam had them." And never once, did a single solitary journalist ask the question, can you be more specific and give us a list of each country that thought this and what their evidence was INDEPENDENT from the US?"


Man, what did I just make myself angry all over again. I must be some kind of masochist.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Yeah, whatever

Welcome to DU.

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. ..

[fearnobush]

22. Ohio now at +3 for Obama. He was at +1.9 last week before the provisionals were counted.

I suspect many still not counted yet so he could go higher to around 4pts.

[Daniel537]

28. Good to hear.

I had wondered why it was so close. Virginia also went up. Obama now over 51%.

[WI_DEM]

24. When all is done I think he might win by five million votes

which is not a narrow victory.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. 2008 results

Barack Obama Democratic Illinois 69,498,215 52.93%
John McCain Republican Arizona 59,948,240 45.66%


It would be cool if he could find 4 million votes out there !

[Daniel537]

27. Landslide victory.

This country has changed, and there's no going back. If we play our cards right, the GOP might seriously never win another Presidential Election.

[Scurrilous]

29. K & R

[jenmito]

31. He's now up to 65,229,840!:
