While Republican voters yawned? We YELLED AND SCREAMED! The RNC leadership did not listen........
Who's this we, white man?
Democrats worked their, pardon the pun, asses off. This is the first election that I've ever gotten phone calls from RATS four times on election day, not to mention a RAT doorknob hanger put, illegally, in my mailbox.
GOP screwed up the vote incentive. Voters go to the polls to vote FOR something, someone - not to vote AGAINST someone, something. Voters told the "base", "Shape up your candidate and give us a reason to vote FOR them or else." Republicans may have "kept the base" - the mindless "R" pullers who give little thought to who/what wears the initial, but the independent voter, the swing voter voted just as the GOP viewed them - they didn't matter, it didn't matter - so the initial didn't cut cartwheels with them either way.
