Mitt Romney ’47 percent’ watch: 47.53

When we last checked yesterday, Mitt Romney was at 47.56 percent of the popular vote. The last drama of the 2012 presidential cycle is whether Romney hits 47.49 percent of the total, thus gets rounded down to 47 percent.

Why does 47 percent matter? It doesn’t, except we’d get one more laugh at the utter irony of it all. And really, who could fault us for wanting one more laugh in a cycle full of them?

So the latest count, per Dave Wasserman’s county-level tabulations? 47.53 percent

The 0.03-point drop since the last update was fueled by returns from Denver, St. Louis, and Thurston County, WA (Olympia).

It’s hard to say how many votes remain to be counted, but just California and New York have about 2-3 million more votes outstanding. Thus, we’re well on track to get Romney that rounded 47 percent number.

From the way that Romney was derided by his own party member after the election for his gift comment, I wonder if he will become the black sheep of GOP later on.
