Report: 2004 turnout numbers would have elected Romney
The Daily Caller / The Associated Press ^ | April 29, 2013 | Neil Munro, White House Correspondent

Posted on 04/29/2013 10:21:08 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would have won the presidency if the white and black turnout rates had stayed at their 2004 levels, according to a new analysis of 2012 election.

“The battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida and Colorado would have tipped in favor of Romney, handing him the presidency if the outcome of other states remained the same,” according to The Associated Press’s summary of research by William Frey, an expert at the Brookings Institution.

Overall turnout declined from 62 percent in 2008 to 58 percent in 2012, Frey reported.

The drop-off reduced the overall turnout by up to 5 million votes, despite a slight increase in the number of eligible white voters, said the AP report....

Thats what happens when libs get caught Ansel. They lie, ignore, divert, resort to “You are stupid’ comments more at home in a preschool and...

They run away claiming victory.

Check this thread in a couple days. After lake thinks no one will notice, there is a good chance another follow up will be made without posting to us.

Actually, SIR Lakeshark has a life besides posting on this forum.

And no, he doesn't answer stupid and moronic questions that have been hinted at by stupid and moronic posters.

Now one of you explain to us once again how a RINO squish would have been as bad as reelecting the worst, most divisive, pro-Marx, pro-muzzie, pro everything you claim to love and care about administration ever. Tell us how each one of the horrible things that Bambi's done daily has been wonderful for us. Explain how the pro muzzie and pro Marxist Romney would have reacted to the Boston bombers, explain about the budget battle, the sequester, the infinite spending, the cronyism, the giving to the Muslim brotherhood, the insane demagoguery would have been EXACTLY THE SAME (as you claimed) under Romney.

Go ahead, show us how stupid you are once again......and by the way, calling you stupid is the correct thing. It's the right thing. It's what you are. Stupid lo-fo voters (or non voters).

You just try to hide that fact behind your so called conservative "purity".

I noticed you never backed up your claim about how much I'm devoted to Romney.

So did everyone else......

Here is a youtube clip (yes, you can skip the ad Norm) demonstrating Norm's clever Daffy Duck style of continually repeating of his question (whatever it was), it's as humorous as he is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMNnZ5TRHsM

I have wasted time before trying to get you to discuss Romney and the issues, but your posting on this thread is completely representative of you.

There is no communication or political discussions with you, you jump on a Romney thread and start attacking.

Your absolute devotion to the man is in every post of yours on this thread, your anger and rage at anyone who criticizes him is extraordinary.

You are the nastiest poster on FR, and it is all about Romney.

Still can’t answer the Cruz/principle question huh?

I know. It hurts. Truth is like that. Hope you made peace with your rep before tossing it though. You owed it that much.

You still haven't shown me the proof of your statement that I am "devoted to Romney". I await that. Hey Norm, why don't you help him, surely you could find my full throated support of Romney before the nomination was done, or even after. Cmon Norm, you can do it, you know it's true, right?

In the meantime I just asked you a perfectly sane question Ansel, which you also won't answer, and everyone here will understand why.

But that's typical of your cowardice. Go ahead, either one of you explain it all for us one more time as Bambi takes us down the tubes......

I told you, I love Cruz and what he's doing.

Why is that a problem for you?

Go ahead, watch the video again.......

You man up Norm, you're the one who blew it last election, not me.

Somehow you missed the Palin principle of ABO, didn't you? Somehow you forgot that leaving the US presidency in the hands of a totally US hating, destructive, pro-Marx, pro-Muzzie administration is not a good principle. I was the one who took the smart, principled way, not you, so yes, of course, principles matter. Unfortunately you wouldn't know a principle from your ass. You're the one who was stupid enough to not only believe the Axelrod talking points, but then actually continue persuading weak minded voters that AXELROD WAS RIGHT.

Congrats, you won. Now own up to it and celebrate. Whoopie, you reelected him!!!!

Now go watch the video again.......

When you post paragraphs to avoid the simple question “Do principles matter? Guess what?

#YoujustpulledanObama!

Gpotta go Lake. But I promise to check back in and rub your nose in it each and every day until you have the moral courage to answer a question any 5 year old can answer without thinking about.

BTW, don’t you owe me about 47 links from the election like you promised?

Nevermind. You told me repeatedly that principles don’t matter and FR saw you do it over and over. Now you say you love a guy that says they do.

You sure haZ a confused. Libs are like that though. Situational ethics and all.

Actually, your line of questioning is about the five year age bracket, but who's counting?

:-)

Kindly to watch video one more time......

You also know I stopped after the first five because you were incapable of listening, incapable of thinking, incapable of understanding THEY WERE NEVER THE SAME!!!!! Jackasses such as yourself are incapable of thinking and understanding principles.

You told me repeatedly that principles don’t matter and FR saw you do it over and over.

Go ahead, find just one post where I said principles don't matter. Just one. Truth is, it's your pathetic principles I don't care for, real principles do matter.

The truth is, you wouldn't know a principle from your ass, quite clearly you somehow think that principles actually look like your ass from what I can see.

I think we've communicated before the election. You are certainly on a list that I maintain here by the computer.

Anyone But Obama (ABO) got Obama re-elected. Because some people won't vote for your anybody. I know I didn't. You own it.

Coming from a lib that refuses to publicly say principles matter, that’s a compliment. I mean I asked OVER 10 TIMES now. So you have had plenty of opportunity.

Since you don’t think they do, explain why you love a guy that does? What color is the water in your pond? Commie Red or Democrat Blue?

“Go ahead, find just one post where I said principles don’t matter. Just one. Truth is, it’s your pathetic principles I don’t care for, real principles do matter. “

Sorry lake, we all saw you do it over a long period. Anyone can go back in your history to see you mock me about principles. And now in another fit of situational ethics, the ‘real’ principles I quoted in those many threads directly from the founders are not real?

Again, people can go see your posts for themselves.
