Not Close in the Battleground States

The vote count still isn’t 100 percent final, but Markos Moulitsas notes that President Obama could have lost every state he won by less than 5.4 percentage points — Florida, Ohio, and Virginia — and he still would’ve won the electoral vote 272 to 266.

He also notes Obama hit 48% in every battleground state while Mitt Romney managed it in just two of them.
