This was explained to me a long time ago... And I'll never forget it... And I think this is why Obama will win ultimately.

I grew up in a predominately black area growing up (def not racist whatsoever) and not making this a race issue. Just want to point this out.

Back in High School, white people would nominate 3 white girls for homecoming queen... Black people would nominate 1 girl for homecoming queen. The "white" vote obviously being split 3 ways... And I'm sure black people even voted for the white girls... My point is this... With only one black girl though... She always won homecoming queen...

I know it's just two candidates... But with CNN continuing to harp on the "African American" turnout... I can't help to think back... Black people (for the most part) are voting for Obama... cNN has been widely reporting this all night... And white people are voting for both Romney and Obama... Thus more votes for Obama...

I don't know if any of that made any sense... But again, not trying to stir up any race issues whatsoever... Just pointing out something that's been pointed out all night

Looking at how many people voted, looked like half american population didn't vote... wtf?

You mean registered voters? There are like 200M registered voters and I'm guessing 120M will vote.

300M+ is the US population but that includes my 7 year old who likes Romney "because he wants to get the jobs back"

Nah it's true. We had a discussion in my class in high school, which was mostly black. They basically all said they were raised to always vote democrat because voting republican is like voting in favor of slavory. So you have that plus what you said, yeah it happens. I hate that theres just 2 choices. I think a true election would have at least 2 from all sides of at least 3 parties.
