Who in this country didn’t know that Nov. 6th was election day? Many states had early voting as well. This is just a stupid excuse.

Yeah I would agree, at the end of the day, this still says a lot about the general public. Obama’s job performance should have been enough to elect a random draw from a phone book. I sure didn’t need anyone to tell me to vote.

I'm with you, GOP voters shouldn't have to be contacted on election day to vote! (I also said this in another thread)

With that being said, I wasn't able to vote until nearly 8:00. I had 6 messages on my iPhone telling me to get out there and vote Romney/Ryan. The first one was a general reminder “today is election day, please vote for Romney/Ryan.” The next few were “get out and vote!” The last few were “you still have time to vote.” So some how I was getting contacted.

“GOP voters should not have to be contacted to vote PERIOD”

Exactly! Every time I read about the election loss being the fault of a failed ORCA I can’t imagine what they are actually talking about. They are going to go out and drag people who live under a rock and don’t know it’s election day to the polls? Fact is, a lot of potential R voters chose not to vote. PERIOD. Romney wasn’t conservative enough, he’s a Mormon .... lots of excuses to reelect Obama.

That said, at our polling place, during the early hours on Tuesday there were no less than four Dem poll watchers checking off their targeted voters. Nary a Repub. (it’s a deep blue precinct).

One funny, darling story, was a voter, 85 years old who told me he’d never voted before in his life! He’d spoiled his paper ballot and had to wait a while for the elections chief to get to him with a replacement ballot .. no problem! He was happy to wait so he could vote for “Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann.”

You know, you and others voicing the same sentiment are completely absolutely correct. You are right about this; HOWEVER...

Obama should never have been elected in the first place let alone reelected. That is another thing we can all agree on -we as well are right about this; HOWEVER AGAIN...

It does not matter how right we are -it matters how effective we are!

The left bussed people in and took advantage of early voting to get warm bodies into the polls; we hoped because we were right -TET they won!

DUH!!!! It is pretty hard to beat a community organizer at his own game ESPECIALLY if we do not even try...

YUP -you are right, SO WHAT!!!!

Fact is, they need to be contacted. People LIKE TO BE contacted. Makes them feel like they matter. “Need a ride to the polls little old lady?” “Thank you, sonny.” There is no substitute for door knocking and human contact.
