D turnout was severly depressed too. Romney needed to do the “rock star” thing and get on all of the low information voter shows like the view, letterman, the daily show, MTV etc. The typical schlub didn’t even know who he was. McCain has little personality and he manages to do this. Bush even got kissed by Oprah. That is how you get these couch potatoes off their asses to vote brohans; and you can take that to the bank!
Obama got 9.35 million less popular voters than he did in 2008. That is a net loss of 13.4 %. Romney got 2.5 million less votes than mccain did in 2008.That is 4.2% Media and pundits are talking about religion, race, free stuff, etc...
There were approx. 11.85 million less votes cast in this election. It shows a lot of crossover vote but it also shows that neither side turned out to vote.For the R’s, you get what you ordered. Couldn’t be bothered to vote. Now you are on the road to extinction.
