Contrary to what we were led to believe by the GOP and what some FReepers claim they saw on the ground in their state, REPUBLICANS WERE NOT ENTHUSIASTIC TO VOTE THIS YEAR.

What I saw in the district by district totals of my red County in a blue state was, overall, 69% turnout; in the most rural GOP districts 65 - 80% vote for Romney with turnout higher than the County average.

Maybe the enthusiasm was isolated to a few counties here and there.

Otherwise, here’s the puzzle -— WHY DID McCAIN GET MORE VOTES in 2008 THAN ROMNEY in 2012?

2 MILLION MORE !!

What happened to these Republicans in 2012?
