MichaelWeston Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 [quote name='sois' timestamp='1352233277' post='1178254'] Most Romney fans are ashamed to admit it I have noticed. Everyone that votes for O'bama will come out and tell you. It's weird. [/quote] I wonder why that is? HMMM LOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah but not sure what channel you are watching, but CNN (i know they tend to be more liberal) makes it sound like the majority of the votes that havent been reported yet are coming from counties that are big democratic counties such as Miami Dade.

Lewdog Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I love how only 69% votes are in and there is only like less that 50,000 vote difference, they can call a winner. Is that not odd to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewdog Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I don't understand what all the liberals on this board, have against Fox News. I've been watching it, and they sound quite in favor of Obama. They just said that voters were behind Obama on unemployment even though the unemployment rate is the same if not higher than when he took office. It goes on to point out that Bush's legacy has lingered and voters are still blaming him for the unemployment, and think the economy is starting to turn around again under Obama.

[/quote] The problem will always be, the electoral college gives a ladder of importance that puts states with a low number of electoral college votes at the bottom. In the same token, candidates are under time constraints and have to pick and choose the best parts of a state to visit, which is near the largest populated areas. It's always going to be that way, you are very rarely going to see candidates holding rallies in very rural areas unless it has something to do with jobs or lifestyles that fit are a large part of the election.
