I Was Going To Say 330

When I said over 300 I really wanted to say 330. But I ended up saying over 300.
332 it is.
Phew.
I Told You So: 303 And Counting
Obama Will Cross 300 Electoral Votes
The 330 figure was based on this assertion: Romney Can Have North Carolina. I was not buying that this was a close election.
Barack Obama has won the American presidential election, gaining an expected 332 electoral-college votes to Mitt Romney’s 206, and taking about 50% of the popular vote to the Republican’s 48%.Almost two million more votes is not close. Not in my book.
Looks like Barack Obama lost Indiana and North Carolina. Damn you, Mr. President!
What Swing States?

All that talk about it all boiling down to Ohio: Barack Obama won before Ohio revealed its colors.
Looks like Florida is still counting -- it is secretly hoping to again become the center of attention like in 2000. Sorry, Florida, the results are out, sorry to put it bluntly, but you don't matter, bring the results in. Hurry.
I think Florida will show up blue.
I am looking at the map, and I see only North Carolina going the other way. But then that was not a swing state in my book.
Look what I said: Romney Can Have North Carolina but I am taking every other so called swing state on behalf of Barack Obama. That is what happened.

I Told You So: 303 And Counting
I wasn't the only one, but I told you so: Obama Will Cross 300 Electoral Votes.
Obama’s second term: Not hope, but lots of change
Obama’s second term: Not hope, but lots of change
The Affordable Care Act — the single most significant bill of Obama’s first term .... The Dodd-Frank financial reforms .... Tax increases are law. The Bush tax cuts are expiring at the end of the year ...... On their own, passing and implementing any of these laws would be a huge achievement for a presidency. The three of them together are a record and pace of domestic change unmatched by any recent administration. But they were an odd sort of change: Change that wouldn’t happen until — and arguably unless — Obama secured a second term. Tonight, he did that. ...... Obama, whose inspiring oratory launched him to the White House and whose grind-it-out, insider-game approach to working with Congress disappointed his fans. But it worked. .... while in 2008, his election was a vote for hope, in 2012, his reelection carries a guarantee of change.
