I know you suspect a conspiracy in the voting, but I think not. Just too big to be done. I agree. Few thousands can be done, but not a couple of hundred thousands.

Nadine, I know you suspect a conspiracy in the voting, but I think not. Just too big to be done. Why too big, especially considering how many sympathetic state Secretaries of State have been put in place? There are only a limited number of battleground states. The pros will be able to tell an organic pattern of numbers vs. a manipulated one.

As for me, I will spend the rest of my life dancing in paradise. I'll bet your young teacher friends are pleased as punch.

Re Conspiracy in the voting.

IMO it's black pride for Obama and we didn't consider it enough for the second term. It was stronger and more under the radar than the supposed silent majority was.

It's understandable for the first black President in this country...now that we look back at it.

It explains why Obama won even though most of the country polled that they were most worried about the economy. The economy didn't matter with the black pride angle and they did not stay home as some had planned.

It's a "one off" event for our first black President...all is not lost for the future, and Republicans do not have to give up their core values to win future elections.

Yes it will cause much damage from a conservative's point of view for our future, but everything has unintended consequences and there will be silver linings to some of this.

Life is funny that way. Obama thought he had it rough following Bush...look who he has to follow now!

In 2008, minority voters turned out in record numbers, propelling Barack Obama to the White House. Similar results fueled his second-term victory on Tuesday. A 2-percentage-point increase in nonwhite votes—to 28 percent—sealed Obama's reelection, and data seem to indicate minority influence at the polls has grown stronger in the past four years.
