47%- ain't irony a b!tch?! [View all]

Last edited Thu Nov 8, 2012, 05:08 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

To wit Romney's vote total in the following states:

Colorado - 47%
Iowa - 47%
Nevada - 47%
New Hampshire - 47%
Pennsylvania - 47%
Virginia - 47%
Wisconsin - 47%

Amazingly, ALL of the above states were amongst the most contested "swing states", and Romney didn't hit 48% in ANY of them. And, in the biggie, Ohio? 48.2%!

One final stat. The Gender Gap. Wanna know what percent of the vote were cast by Romney's strong suit (MEN)? 47%

And, Romney is, with a bit of rounding magic, at just about 47% in the NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE to boot - ain't irony a b!tch?!

Hint: MATH!!!!!

ROMNEY's final Popular Vote Percentage in the 9 Battleground States Was.........

Wait for it..........
