Let's hope this trend keeps going ...

way to embrace the electorate, Repugs ...

John McCain got less votes than George W. Bush did in 2004 ... 62,040,610 for Dubya, 59,934,814 for McLame.

Romney got less votes than John McCain did ... 59,028,444

While Obama got less votes in 2012 than 2008, he was just shy of Dubya's high score ... 130,016 votes less than Dumbya's peak ... with the "liberally-biased media"'s help.

Now we're finally gonna get some stuff done!
