Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not convinced that their votes were not “lost”.
I don’t know any republicans that didn’t go out to vote, and enthusiasm among the 0bamanoids was low to middlin’ at best.
Yet we lost big.
Something ain’t right.
My take as well. And I also know Blue Dogs who crossed over and voted for Romney.
I do find it odd that even Cook, Dave Wasserman reported that a narrowing of the Ohio early vote numbers should be expected. This, along with report after report after report of massive turnout in Ohio`s Republican districts. Something doesn`t make sense here.
Not lose - just run through the shredder.
Not lost - just run through the shredder.
Consider the Senate races.
How coincidental that with the exception of Ensign in Nevada (not really a battleground state) all (R) senators in Battlegrounds (VA, FL, OH, WI) went down even as they did in states carried handily by Romney (IN, MO, ND, MT)? In fact we almost knew the Senate seat loss before we knew the Presidential outcome.
What about those touch screen shennanigans reported as switches from Romney to Obama?
Each of the battlegrounds VA, FL, OH, WI) are solid (R) -- both chambers and the Gov. Most went that way in 2010. (R)'s won down ticket House races.
What I want to know from tech savvy types is this: how does someone hack a voting machine, how does one detect it?
Can some well placed kid hanging around on a cell phone communicating to an embedded chip in the machine watch voters and time his "click" with that of the voter -- regardless how he intended to vote? Is this possible?
In these highly (R) states, will an investigation be launched by their SOSs and Atty Generals to determine what happened?
Y'all were warned repeatedly. The battle here on FR prior to the time that the Republican cheerleaders were allowed to take over should have been instructive. But it wasn't. The VERY SAME THING happened over McCain't/Palin, and THAT should have been instructive. But it wasn't.
There is a VAST difference between Republican and Conservative. Anyone who would throw principle to the wind is not acting conservatively, and throwing principle to the wind will always get you a loss, because unlike the left, principle is what holds us all together. Without Conservative principles, the Conservatives don't show up. And without the Conservatives, Republicans are nothing.
Thus, 'Anyone but Obama' was doomed to fail from it's inception.
Perhaps this is instructive... but I bet it won't be.
