The other thing that blew it for him was the voter suppression really angered the D base and they turned out almost as good as 08. Massive backfire.

Not so much. If you'd like me to show how many things O was hard left on during election season before doing some real world moderation we can do that.
And O nowhere near matched 2008. He's about 10 million votes shy as of right now. As I said elsewhere he likely won't see as many votes as Bush got in 2004. This was a suppression election and the strategy paid off.
