That's not how it works ~ as the Democrat tally drops, the Republican tally does not climb. These things operate independently of each other.

Romney has to get 59 million for Obama to tie him at 59 million.

If Obama drops another 10 million then if Romney gets the same 59 million McCain got, Obama gets 49 million ~ and that's about 108 million total ~ not 130 million.

The 2010 blowout election still involved a drop of 15 million in the Republican vote ~ against a drop of 30 million in the Democrat vote.

The next biggest drop ever was in 2006 when Republicans had a drop of 26 million votes compared to the last Presidential election.

An informed electorate knows how to really mess with the political class' minds ~ they both vote, and they withdraw their vote. This time they may be doing both.

So you believe Romney/Ryan will NOT get ten million votes more than McCain/Palin?

Sarah Palin alone brought in the lion's share of those 59 million votes, dragging McCain along like a ball and chain.

In this election, both Romney and Ryan are getting extremely positive receptions. Voters are extremely energized against Obama, and they are also energized for Romney/Ryan.

I see no reason why Romney/Ryan would get less than 69 million votes.
