Romney got 47% and lost. I'm well aware of the exceptions.
One of my former wives told me to just at least look for a little optimism, so here goes...

No shit.
The centrist and left-wing parties have agreed to drop their candidates in districts where either’s candidates may split the vote in favor of the far-right. It would be like the independent candidates that take votes from Biden drop out to give him better margins.
