With Florida's 29 Electoral College votes,
Obama will have 332 votes to Romney's 206.
Miami Herald - Though votes are still being tallied,
President Obama is all but assured a victory in Florida
because the lion's share of the outstanding ballots come
from Democratic-heavy counties.
Obama leads Republican Mitt Romney by 55,825 votes —
or 49.9 percent to 49.24 — but there just aren't enough votes
from Republican areas to allow the challenger to catch up.
Romney's Florida campaign has acknowledged their candidate lost
in Florida as well. Romney already conceded the national race after
he lost the other battleground states.
"The numbers in Florida show this was winnable,"
Brett Doster, Florida advisor for Romney, said in a
statement to The Miami Herald.
"We thought based on our polling and range of organization
that we had done what we needed to win. Obviously, we didn't,
and for that I and every other operative in Florida has a sick
feeling that we left something on the table. I can assure you this won't happen again," said Doster.
With Florida’s 29 Electoral College votes, Obama will have
332 votes to Romney's 206.
"We feel we will be the official winner in Florida later today," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said.
Preliminary results are due into from the counties to the state
by noon Saturday. The final results are to be certified Nov. 20.

I can assure you that it *will* happen again, and by a greater margin,
because Republicans are still in deep denial as to *why* it happened.

We'll start to see when people start declaring their candidacies for 2014, we'll see which no-longer reactionary-enough Republicans are getting challenged by Tea Partyers. The few remaining sane Republicans KNOW that they could control the Senate now if not for the Tea Party; it must kill them that they can't say so.

I think Romney lost because he lost the female vote to an unprecedented
extent. No one seems to be talking about it much, but I think that's where
we will see the biggest change in Republican politics.
There was far too much anti-female, anti-womens rights, anti-government
BS in this election. Most women either have, or hope to have children. They
don't want to hear all this Republican anti-government BS. The government
is a safety net for all women with children. The self-centered Republican
boys club just can't see that.

More than can even be imagined. Read this postmortem. It's mind boggling.
