Whites not voting could have a simpler explanation, consistent with single women by a large margin supporting Obama. A large number of couples, not just single, intending to split their votes may have stayed home. Has someone surveyed those who didn't vote? To my knowledge, not yet. Whites usually vote in large numbers in presidential elections. Its unusual when they don't.

Whites not voting is cancelled by a bunch of '08 Obama voters staying home.They lost cuz they lost. People didn't like their plans. Not quite final totals. Willard very close to Crash McCain.

? In 2008, Obama/Biden topped McCain/Palin in the popular vote 69 million to 59 million.

UPDATE (2): As of Noon on Friday, with nearly all votes in, Obama assuredly will win the popular vote, leading Romney by a count of 61,173,739 or 50.5% to 58,167,260 or 48.0%. At this point, a few final votes are being counted and then all that's left is for the results to be officially certified.)
