It started last night during the television postgame analysis, and it's continuing at the RW blogs today. The conservative message being pushed is that Speedo did much better than he had any right to expect, considering W's job approval rating and the economic meltdown.
Let's take a deep breath here: Speedo was running against a black dude whose middle name is Hussein, for crying out loud. The miracle is not that Speedo got his share of the vote, it's that Obama got his. The national BSR * going into the election was 49.28 percent, meaning that Speedo only needed to pick up about two percent to win at least the popular vote, and probably the whole thing.
* Basic Stupidity Rate
