People are not too lazy to vote, WHEN THEIR FOOD STAMPS ARE ON THE LINE.
Barack Obama got 3 million fewer votes yesterday than George W. Bush got in 2004 -- and there are a lot more voters out there today than there were in 2004. Heck, Obama's 2012 vote total was almost identical to John Kerry's losing vote total in 2004.
Obama won because a lot of conservatives simply stayed home, and because he was able to get enough votes from politically-disinterested, gainfully employed voters in places like Florida and Virginia to supplement his natural base of misfits and losers.
It's really that simple, folks.
Disagree with this article. Right centered people did not turn-out. Romney will have less votes that McCain did in 2008- and BTW, Obama’s vote count may end up being lower that McCain’s 2008 vote.
I've said in the past that we needed to attempt to convert these people but many consider them irrelevant. But that was then.
Now, I think that events will have to manage our future rather than the other way around.
The laws of economics will not be ignored. We are spending ourselves into bankruptcy via the European model and taxing the "rich" will only work for a short time.

I had thought that we could bounce back with such a clear choice in this election.
eventually we will lose Texas, then it will be really over.
And Nate Silver got it right, too, something a lot of Freepers are going to have a hard time admitting.
Voting has gotten easier. Early voting, absentee voting, in NJ even email voting. Make voting easy enough, and it’s easy to get lazy registered voters into likely voters.
