4. If the 61% winning rate in CA holds, that'll be another 1,830,000 votes. |

5. I'm still keeping holding my prediction |
|
that he'll be leading by 9 points after all the votes are counted. Which will be quite a while. But I think it'll happen: 54-45

7. But, but, but. the "no mandate" people are saying that |
|
there are the same number of voters this time as in 2004. I don't understand how this can be unless they suppressed about 20 million votes. More people voted in 2004 than in 2000, but the same number voted in 2008 as in 2004? Something's not adding up.
I think it was a bigger blowout than 7%. A whole lot of votes didn't get counted somehow.
