"this isn't so bad!" rationalising into perspective, Reagan didn't even beat Carter by 10% of the popular vote (50% to 41%), so Barack's
52% to 46% is... pretty damn big, actually.
As for you, Logan, my main reason for being miffed was because for some reason I actually bought that you were sincere before. My bad. Calling Obama a Marxist

political wilderness.
