In 2004 121 million people voted.
Yesterday… 118.2 million.
In 2004 Bush got 63 million votes Yesterday Obama got 62.6

Jon E. Schultz II Wednesday, November 5th at 11:10AM EST (link)I was checking into the same path this morning, but Bush actually only got 62 million votes. Obama has already bested him.
