in colorado, mitt romney got 74% of the yvonne gelcal vote, but still lost the state. mitt romney also lost in iowa, as you can see. the margin at the end, 52 for the president. and mitt romney behind that. gretchen: ohio went to president obama with six in ten voters approving of the auto bailout. that was only one of the only battle grounds that romney was able to grab, if you don t factor in indiana which went to obama. this time to romney. brian: even though more than half of the wisconsin vote divorce a positive opinion of paul ryan, it was not enough. obama took it. that went quick. that goes to show you that was one of the states you were looking at to see if things would be a route for romney. steve: same with pennsylvania. despite his campaign s last minute push, voters gave the 20
the first rule they teach in politics, any campaign schools 50% plus one. how do you hit that mark? basically we got to figure out. brian: i m cheating, but joe told me by the printer that the problem is, for republicans, less and less white voters each and every year. if they don t reach out to a minority hispanic vote, they ll be in trouble no matter who the candidate is. that s right. bush and karl rove did when they were running was made a direct appeal with the hispanic community. bush increased that brian: learned spanish. right. he got to 44% of the hispanic vote in his reelection bid. i thought here was a party that is going to be in trouble. they re really getting this. then something happened in the cycle it started falling apart before that, but this time the romney people, i think, in terms to get the nomination, moving to the right, have taken a step back. the big failure is we didn t get the senate. we basically we ended up with flawed candidates for the s
waiting on crew to pick it up. but there are signs was resilience like the american flag erected above the rubble. some areas are expected to get six inches of snow, back to you. brian: thank you, anna. hundreds of flights have been cancelled in throw major airports in new york and new jersey and more flights will be grounded as the day goes on. we ll go to gretchen. gretchen: there are disturbing reports out of ohio claiming ununreg mr. #2: ered voters may have been allowed to vote. now flauddsters put your vote at risk. you have a close eye on voters fraud. in ohio there was allegation that unregistered voters were given the ability to vote, what do you know?
nothing has changed with the balance of power. we need somebody to reach across the aisle. but the books on this administration, barack obama doesn t have a bipartisan bone in his body. i think that is true. i don t think there will be a lot of reachhing. but we need to understand how weakly this president was reelected by the skin of his teeth. 2-10ths of the vote would are changed the outcome and first president of the united states ever to be reelected by less than he got elected by. every other president who won a second term. gained in the margin. ronald reagan won by more in 1980 x. bush won by more in 04 than in 2000. and one in 2012. this is not a man date and the
and the other thing, was it wasn t that big a split on the wrong track, right track question. 53-37. it had been in all the polling up to six weeks ago, it was like 31% thought we were on the right track. it creeped into the low 40s as we got close to the election, but last night it was 47%. that tells me people are starting to feel already that the economy was getting better, whether we think so or not or whether the numbers say so, people are feeling it. brian: that is job approval, nobody talked about it. 53% on election day. usually the job growth is what you get. he s close to that. i think the critical thing is team and i m not going to dump on them in any way, shape or form. they busted their tail for the last two years. they won the primaries fair and square. he did absolutely everything he could possibly do and half the vote. but at the same time, to beat an incumbent president, you have to increase them to fire the
