November 4: Barack Obama elected President (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
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!
