CNN has an intersting page that shows who voted for who.

Take a look and I am sure you will be blown away just like I was:

Wish the outcome was different, but the technology is used to dissect this election is cool

Here's another one that I just calculated.

votes for Obama = 62,605,967
votes for Mccain = 55,512,629
votes for others = 1,526,269

If you add the others to Mccain = 57,038,898

Mccain still would lose by = 5,567,069

estimated number of people eligible to vote (18+) = 224,548,863
total amout of votes cast = 119,644,865
Number of people that didn't vote = 104,903,998
50% factor for people that are sick, assigned to
a God forsaken outpost, people who moved and could not re-register in time
hobos, druggies and dealers, etc. = 52,451,999

This is an exit poll,
so that is 95% of the people asked.
Even though 95% of the black vote was for Obama,
it was only 13% of the total voters. HHHMMMMMMMMM
