The idiots deserve everything they get. I am so depressed this morning. I can’t believe Romney got fewer votes than McCain.
” I can’t believe Romney got fewer votes than McCain.”
And McCain didn’t even try. What a waste of money.
In most states, the numbers are shaping up to be even lower than in 2004, said Curtis Gans, director of American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate.

It’s hard to believe and something does seem gravely wrong with the election results. It truly makes no sense. Report after report from voting sites mentioned never before seen crowds or used adjectives like “massive.” Yet the turnout was down? NY and NJ, sure, but elsewhere? Logic requires that if the overall vote was down and Republican vote up (by anecdotal evidence), Democrat votes had to be down. Yet Obama wins even more states that expected?
Turnout was just way down, both on the Republican side and on the Democrat side. Tens of millions of eligible people of all descriptions (conservative, liberal, Evangelical, Catholic, black, white) simply did not vote.
Unfortunately a lot of sit-it-outs are folks who should'a voted for Romney/Ryan. They didn't for various reasons. Because Romney was squishy on social issues. Because Romney was a Mormon. Because Ryan was too much an Ayn Rand enthusiast. Or not enough of one. Or any other reason why.
