Are there ANY people of color at the Romney concession rally?!

Thank you, voters! I guess the people did realize the possibilities with Obama and with Romney.
Now the Republicans will have
Now the Republicans will have to coalesce in Washington and pledge to do everything just short of treason to keep Obama from winning a third term.
And a happy birthday present to the Reverend Billy Graham. Now he can get his stooges to go restore a bit of the bigotry on his website.
An old geezer just down the
An old geezer just down the bar at Scotties this morning was crying in his biscuits and gravy and wishing that the rapture would just come on and take him away. I thought it would be a good idea too as I sat there eating my breakfast with a big grin on my face and my Obama - Biden sticker staring him in the face just outside the window. I don't usually back into my parking space. In fact I usually park in the 'VIP area' out back by the dumpster, but today was special.

...which is 61.7% of the electoral vote.

Plenty good enough for me.
I think you mean 52%.

No, if the final electoral vote comes in at 332 for Obama, that's nearly 62% of the total 538 (61.7%, actually).
Okay, so the electoral vote calcs tend to kinda inflate the margin of victory.
But it's fun saying "62%."
Oops, sorry. My brain
Oops, sorry. My brain interpreted that as popular vote even tho you clearly said electoral vote.
