Obama received about 56 million while Romney received 54 million voters. That's a difference of two million voters only. That's how close it was but the American system is such that it translates into 326 collegiate votes for Obama as against 206 for Romney. That's a huge difference! There are states that traditionally will always vote Democrat while there are states that will traditionally always vote Republican. So the fight was only in the swing states, about eight of them, so called because these states can either go to Democrat or to Republican, depending on which way the swing goes. Obama won all of them except one. That spells the end for Romney.
