-The other guy got more votes

LOL - The GOP hates it when you bring that up. Some are still in denial. Oh well.

I honestly viewed the last few weeks of Romney's campaign as an attempted to un-motivate those who were going to vote for Obama by projecting skewed poll results and putting out blatant lies... I think they forgot that early voting still existed.

Not that I voted for republicans but the answer is simple: some people don't make marijuana the focus of their life. They believe fiscal conservatism is better for their nation. Sadly, the republicans I know of are far from fiscally conservative.

Anybody that continues to fool themselves that the GOP is the party for fiscal growth for all is sadly mistaken, their vote wasted.

Yeah I think Nate Silver had calculated around 70 ways of Rmoney to win and the 270+ for Obama.
And this was calculated weeks before the election.
Nates percentage win was at one point @ 95.x% for Obama and 4.x% for Rmoney (I think that was 2-3 days before the election).
But the percentage split was above 85% for Obama for weeks on end and climbed towards the end.
For any reasonable, rational and logically minded person Obama won the election weeks before November 6th.

Republicans had just for some reason completely convinced themselves that they would win a landslide.
Lies upon lies with zero factual backing.

not exactly all true what you said, and there is always the fact that elections tend to see late deciders break to the challenger. so there was some suspense, just not much.

What isn't "exactly true" of what I wrote?

If you go look at the numbers by Nate Silver they all fit.

the percentage was not above 85% for weeks on end, it barely even got to that point in the last week or so.

Weeks on end might have been the wrong phrase, the percentage was above 85% for 5-6 days in October and it was above 85% for 3-4 days in November.
So saying "it barely got to that point in the last week or so" is not exactly right.

Either way, the point was that the percentage split was so much in favor of Obama for months on end that Rmoney never really had any realistic chance of winning.
