Karma? Romney finishes with 47 percent of the presidential vote

1/5/2013

One of the major moments of the 2012 presidential election was Mitt Romney's now-infamous "47 percent" remarks. As you might recall, Romney was taped telling donors that 47 percent of voters would vote for Obama no matter what because they were "dependent upon government" and, "My job is not to worry about those people." It was popular among some supporters but didn’t earn him any new fans. But, ah, does the world not work in strange and mysterious ways? The final presidential vote count was released Friday, and Romney received, wait for it, 47 percent of the popular vote (47.2 to be exact). If anything, it shows the cosmos has a sense of humor.
