I don't know if swing voters voted against Romney or for Obama. But neither do you. Hell, I could argue that 80% of Romney voters voted for him because they hate Obama. I just think its stupid to to elevate a swing anti-vote above any other kind of vote. You have to add them all up in the end.

Seems like the same point I'm making, except you only see it when it relates to the electoral college. Can you say Obama won because of Ohio or Florida? Sure. But they sure as hell weren't more important than California or New York.
