I was thinking of the same issue: who is voting this year who didn't vote in '08 and who voted in '08 who isn't voting this year? It has to be a bit more nuanced than merely the older voters in '08 having passed on the young first time voters replacing them. There are quite a number of not so young conservatives who foolishly sat out '08 out of frustration with RINO McCain and his passive campaign, but are now strong for Romney. You also have some not so old Democrats, especially so-called "minorities," who were enthusiastic for the Messiah in '08 but are sitting this one out in remorse or resentment at his performance as POTUS.
Now come on, talking about older GOP leaning voters dying and younger Dem leaning voters being added to the voting population is just nonsense.
Why, you ask.
Because you are ignoring the fact that the whole voting population has aged 4 years thus becoming more GOP leaning. That cancels out the old vs young effect.
The FDR Demwits are almost all gone now, a great many have passed since 2008. Of those who remain, many or most will have experienced the impact of Obamacare, and have seen what an a-hole he is on a consistent basis. Younger voters have four years more under their belts, and if they’re like most people (including me), they’ll have spent a few of those in the work force and lost some of that youthful stupid enthusiasm for redistribution and (especially) hiring quotas.
The wife of a friend is a diehard straight-ticket no-thinking-allowed Demwit, but she absolutely HATES quotas, because she feels she can do the job as well as anyone. I guess she doesn’t care who else loses out on a job because of the color bar, as long as it’s not her.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
I voted for Romney last Thursday.
Today I’m praying.
