Let me explain this as clearly as possible, using Georgia as an example:

2008 National margin: Obama +7.26%
2008 Georgia margin: McCain+5.20%
2008 Georgia Republican lean: +12.46%

2012 National margin: Obama +3.86%
2012 Georgia margin: Romney +7.80%
2012 Georgia Republican lean: 11.66%

From 2008 to 2012, Georgia SWUNG 2.60% Republican.
From 2008 to 2012, Georgia trended 0.80% Democrat.

Wrong.  Keep doubling down...

How is it wrong? It's a simple mathematical calculation.

The laws of mathematics are different in Atlanta? How is my MATH wrong?

You are using flawed data.

How so? Do you dispute the fact that John McCain won Georgia by 5.2%, and that Romney won Georgia by 7.8%?

It's hilarious... what is really crazy is he claims to live in Atlanta.

Do the hippies still concentrate in the 10th Street area like they did in the 60's? Maybe that is where he is.

Ha, he is clueless.  To say Georgia, for example, was MORE for Hussein in 2012 just exposes complete idiocy.

You should understand, he believes the Dems are going to get the same turnout of black voters, that they got we the first black was running for President. Not going to happen.

When did I say that? I don't expect black turnout to be as high as 2008.

Since they're a major constituency of the Democraptic party, and you believe they're trending downward, why do you think the Democraps, in toto, are trending upward?

Hahaha.  That area nowadays has one of the highest concentration of gays in the country...

He's not the most astute.

Yes.

Ok, fine. Now, Georgia's statewide offices are ALL held by Republicans, including the Secretary of State, who certifies election results On what evidentiary grounds do you dispute it? Are you suggesting that the Republican Secretary of State fudged the numbers to help Obama?

Thanks for supporting my argument.

No.  I'm not sure how you made that connection.  In one swoop, you say GA offices are held by Republicans, then try to make the case that it's trending Dem, simply because you found some numbers on the internet.  I live in GA, and moved there around when you were born, if you say you're 23.  I lived there in my late teens, all the way up to now.  I am very familiar with GA, hence why I don't listen to some numbers on the internet that tell me it trends Democrat, since I know first hand that is a stupid thing to say, let alone believe.
