Balk with the high points

Has it been mentioned...

that Barack Obama received more votes for president than any other candidate in American history? I remember a big deal being made four years ago when Bush did it.

Also worth noting in this “right of center” nation: Democrats have now won 3 of the last 5 elections, and you can make a case for 2000 going the D column.

And, as noted earlier, this is the fifth election in a row where a decorated military veteran lost to a candidate who had never served in conflict abroad.

Finally? A BLACK GUY WON THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. Kinda cool.
