NOTE: Regarding 'Everything indicates that Republican turnout will swamp 2010 numbers,', that's not a problem ~ Republican turnout in 2010 was 15 million less than Republican turnout in 2008. Democrat turnout in 2010 was 30 million less than Democrat turnout in 2008.

If all we did was show up with a few thousand more votes than 2010 that would be almost total capitulation to the Democrats.

Presidential years draw more voters than mid-term years.

I am talking percentage of the vote, not raw turnout number.

overall turnout for this election will be R +3/4.

As opposed to D+7 and D+3 in 2008 and 2010 respectively if memory served.
