How do you know?
I thought the enthusiasm for Obama would be down a lot this time around and it was because people know who he is now. I think the biggest reason the Repubs lost is that people just did not get very fired up by R&R either. I think it probably did not help that the GOP picked the only candidate available who could not attack Obamacare with any credibility.
i live in an Hispanic city in CT. Even here, not a swing state, only a hot House seat: Obamba got more votes than ‘08 because he added more to the food stamp rolls, used the federal govt to get them registered, and then used the entire apparatus to mobilize them to vote. It was a tidal wave of new voters.
he did poorer in the white towns than he did in 08.
They “expanded the electorate” by “strengthening the progressive infrastructure” ... and four more years await for him to “fundamentally transform America”. They are transforming the electorate. Permanently.
