Final Totals

It was only to be expected that the two major parties dominated the vote totals, and got every single Electoral Vote. For those interested, here are the popular vote totals, thanks to Independentpoliticalreport.com.

• Obama
  63,086,600
  52%
• McCain
  55,848,864
  46%
• Nader
  649,097
  1%
• Barr
  484,96
  31%
• Baldwin
  173,178
  
  (all 0% from this point. I’m not sure how they got Barr’s 0.4 to round to 1%.)
  
• McKinney
  141,010
• Keyes
  34,512
• Paul
  19,285
• La Riva
  7,166
• Calero
  7,110
• Moore
  6,273
• None of these candidates
  6,246

I've omitted all with less than 5,000 votes. Some of the above were independents, not running under any party banner. Others, like Alan Keyes, ran under different party banners and even with different VP nominees depending on the state at which one looked. Here possible, I've included links to respective party organizations, rather than to candidate Web sites.

Certainly, this season has wrought an historical outcome. Now we'll see how a virtually one-party government works in D.C.
