By the time I got to the second post I was saying 'Hey, he was trying to lose ~ he and his staff of hard core leftist knee-jerkers faked it all and then lost on purpose'.
Hmmmmm.
Rove, Barone, Morris and several talkshow hosts were rah-rahing that Romney was going to win in a landslide -- 300+ electoral votes.
Could they have been leading these cheers to dissuade people from the long lines at the polls? Were they in on the deal that Obama gets a 2nd term?
Barone, especially, is supposed to be the electoral vote genius who knows the voting patters of every county in the nation, etc. So why would someone with his credentials be so wrong?
The problem with the widespread conspiracy theory is there's always somebody who intends to write a book real soon and he or she is already talking to a publisher.
We'll hear soon.
In this case the population dynamics are changing so fast I think the answer is very simple ~ Republicans failed to register enough new voters to keep the vote totals up to our 2004 election level of 64 million.
The Democrats had aleady found they were having difficulty finding new eligible adults to register as Democrats back in the big drive of 2008 ~ they ended up with 69 million votes on election day ~ still an all time high!
