50.6% to 47.8% is, I don't know, weird...

Not sure whether those are the final official numbers, but I suppose they are pretty accurate.

Just seems to be strange to me. Leaving aside the fact that strategically (through electoral vote) it can be called a landslide, the numbers for the popular vote are a little frightening.

So basically, the rape discussions, the "47% parasites" remark, the forced haircut, the dog on roof, the constant lies, the Sandra Fluke episode, Obama's solid record and "Sandy" and debate bumps, in sum, yield barely a 3% margin in America.

I don't really know what to think. Sure, it is great that the election was won, but somehow these numbers suggest that the country has a long way to go.
