It’s 10:00 p.m. Pacific time, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012 and Mitt Romney has conceded defeat in the U.S. Presidential election. He reports that he called President Obama and congratulated him on his victory.
At this time, the popular vote is 49% to 49%, numerically 51,341,990 votes for Obama to 51,092,409 votes for Romney. However, the electoral seats stand at 303 for President Obama and 203 for Mitt Romney. A candidate needs 270 electoral college seats to win.
The results were virtually a repeat of 2008.
It’s impossible for me to give a standard political analysis, discussing what may happen in the next four years, etc., because we know that matters will change irreversibly and for the better in only six more weeks. The 44th President of the United States has been re-elected only 44 days away from Ascension.
