Percentage-wise (rounded up), is it safe yet to conclude that President Obama won with 52% of the popular vote, and Romney is now Mr. 47%?  How close are we?

High turnout is not a good thing if a bunch of ignorant and uninformed people are voting.  I'd rather there be just 30% turnout if the 30% are very informed and engaged on the issues.

With views like yours, you definitely chose the right political party to join....

So you are saying that Democrats are the party of uninformed voters?  I thought the Democratic mantra was that if only Republican voters were educated as to how Republican policies are bad for them they'd vote for Democrats?

His elitism is consistent with Republican efforts to narrow the electorate through any means necessary.  

And besides, how did he suddenly decide that these voters were 'ignorant' or 'uninformed'? Or does that only apply, in his mind, when they vote Democratic?

What other state besides New York hasn't yet certified their votes?  I was looking on that link, and it said that West Virginia is the 48th state to certify its votes.  What's the other state?
