Re: Gut Check: Who Will Win the White House?
Congrats to the 21 people who got it right.
The race was not as close as I thought it would be. I guess there is still some star power left in Obama since '08 and voters can relate more to him than they can to Romney. The perceived unfriendly stance on immigration and the lack of common sense in the abortion issue by the GOP national platform might have cost them a lot of Hispanic and women votes.
Popular votes breakdown:
Obama (D): 60,662,174 (50.4%)
Romney (R): 57,820,742 (48.1%)
Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party): 1,139,562 (0.9%)
Jill Stein (Green Party): 396,684 (0.3%)
