@snood,
Since I'm not emotionally involved, I seek to see things as they are.
It wasn't a "squeaker," nor was it a large margin. We have evidence of large margins.
I also think that there are some Americans who vote for the Republican candidate for reasons other than racism. I do acknowledge that race is a factor, mostly with black voters, as evidenced by the 93% of them who chose the black candidate. THAT bit of demographic information is MUCH more serious than white voters voting for Romney due to his race.
Personally, when both of my children informed me they were voting for Obama - as did their SOs, I agreed it was probably the best choice.
