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

7. 332 electoral votes is a landslide by any metric. The president has a +4 mil popular vote spread.

People should stop obsessing about the numbers at this point. Remember a little rain event called Sandy? It devastated certain blue regions of the country, which may account for a 2-3% deficit in the popular vote. There were also people who were just utterly confused and exasperated by the GOP's efforts, in many states, to suppress the vote. There's no way to know how many people, after hearing all the news, and seeing the hours long lines outside the polling places, decided just not to participate.

My belief is that this election would have been much closer to the '08 results if not for Sandy and GOP voter intimidation. JMHO.
