Obama Won Without Voter Surge
President-elect Obama "bet on an unprecedented surge of new voters to carry him to victory last month," Bloomberg reports, but "he won without the record turnout."

"About 130 million Americans voted, up from 122 million four years ago. Still, turnout fell short of the 140 million voters many experts had forecast. With a little more than 61 percent of eligible voters casting ballots, the 2008 results also didn't match the record 63.8 percent turnout rate that helped propel President John F. Kennedy to victory in 1960."
