But Obama didn't eke this out. He won by over 100 electoral votes - a landslide. And people weren't staying home because they were unenthusiastic - there was a big turnout.

The story of what made that happen is about a lot more blacks, hispanics, and young people voting, and a story about the gender gap widening.

Old white men and their naval gazing ain't the story here guys.

The story of the election is the country saying, "Hey, baldy - get your fat and lazy white ass offa the lawn, get in the ktichen, and wash up your own damn dishes." It's not about the fat white guys not being able to figure out if they want to barbeque chicken or burgers.

by "gender gap" do you mean all the women who were sickened by the bile they heard from the R's?
