I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but when you look at those predictions from reliable sources, and the long, long lines at the polling centers....how did the vote come out millions less than 2008 and in favor of Obama?
People were still voting at midnight in Florida and Virginia, yet the final voter turnout was 10% less than 2008? Makes me wonder.
Yeah, I place conspiracies in the same category as miracles: they’re both realities and they’re both rare as hens’ teeth.
And yet it is so strange in this election...predictive models that had been infallible for decades were wildly wrong, speculations by seasoned and objective observers like Barone were just as wide of the mark, data gathered by Freepers like LS, et al., seemed to indicate one thing, but foretold its opposite, the body language of the major players prophesied victory for Romney and defeat for Zero, we saw long lines with our own eyes and stood in them to vote, and even pure intuitive types like Peggy Noonan—no enemy of Obama—seemed to see the writing on the wall; and yet what we a thought was UP, was really DOWN. I don’t know what to say other than that, as it stands, we lost and my homeland now seems as foreign to me as the dark side of the moon.
