The youth vote didn't turn out in too much greater percentage than 2004.
No way RATS picked up 6 million new voters while repubs lost 5 million.
Either Rats voted for Bush and crossed back over to Obama or Repubs crossed over to Obama.
Everything I'm seeing & hearing says the latter.
I can't wait for the "experts" final sort-it-out analysis.
Could be just the ACORN factor.
[I consider this a coup via voter fraud; nothing more, nothing less]
My Aunt told me that she was going to vote for McCain, but when she got to her polling place, she changed her mind and voted for Obama. When I asked her why, she said, "I don't know." I tried to pry a reason out of her, but all she could come up with was, "I don't know, I just felt like it."
In fact, everyone I know who voted for Obama had pretty much the same "reasoning," with "I don't know" being the most common answer among them. Everyone I know who voted for McCain did so grudgingly, but had a long list of reasons NOT to vote for Obama. You know what? I take it back, I do have some cousins who voted for Obama, and they voted for him for "change, and voting for McCain is voting for evil Bush and his puppet-master, Dick Chaney." But they're brain damaged moonbats, so they don't count.
All I can figure is that Obama did some sort of "Jedi Mind Trick."
