4,000,000 no-show conservatives relative to 1996--newsflash kids, BOB DOLE got more conservative votes than Bush ever did--translates to about a 4% shift in the popular vote, and about 9-10% of the total conservative vote.
When I was a Marine, we always spoke of "The 10% who screw up a good deal for everybody else."
Bush managed to win in spite of our 10%. Now, the 10% want to give Boxer a third term--and screw it up for everybody else.
