Why say "not by enough to " rather than just "not enough to " ?

Taiwan

US Republican hopeful Mitt Romney wins six of 10 states voting on “Super Tuesday”, including crucial Ohio, but not by enough to seal the race.

Why say “not by enough to ” rather than just “not enough to ” ?

Does it has different meaning compare to “not enough to” ?

Good question! In a political race you win by a certain amount. Romney won, but not by a large enough number to make his victory complete for the whole country.
