16. Kerry ran the race the media pretended Romney was running.

Think about it. Kerry narrowed the popular vote margin to 2.4. Romney will likely be down more than 3 points when all the votes are counted.

Kerry's popular vote margin was .1 percent less than Gore's, but Kerry got 8 million more votes. In 2004, Kerry got more than 59 million votes, currently more than Romney.

Unlike Romney, Kerry ran a smart race focusing on an electoral path to victory, and came within one state of winning: Ohio.

Bush got 286 to Kerry's 251. Flip Ohio and Kerry wins 271 to 266. That was a close race.

Romney had no chance. Even if he took Florida, he lost Ohio by nearly 2 points, Virginia by 3 points and Colorado by 5 points. He lost NH by nearly 6 points, and all the rest was simply MSM noise.
