The Race Was Not That Close

A lot of people are giving Mittens some flack for his comments about the president giving out trillions of dollars in free stuff to minorities to win the election.  He's an idiot and he lost.  To me what stands out the most in his phone call to donors was his apologize and, again, just how wrong he is.
Romney told donors that he believed up to election day that he would win.
“I am very sorry that we didn’t win,” he said. “I know that you expected to win. We expected to win. … It was very close, but close doesn’t count in this business.”
Yes your polls were skewed and way off. Yes you lost. But the race was not "very close." It wasn't even close. Electorally it was 332-206.  That's a blowout.  Popularly, Obama is currently up 3.5 million votes and is sitting at 51.2%.  That's a bigger margin than George W. Bush won in 2004.  I guess it's some sort of solace for Republicans to think they only barely lost.  But just like their made up math, it's all pure fantasy.
