It's a pretty safe assumption that a Freeper vote is a potential Republican vote"...? Note your own usage of the word potential, right there; NOT "given," or "rightful," or "assured

That's right. It's not assured. Some freepers will stay home and wet their beds on election night. It happens. But the simple fact is that freepers have one major party to choose from, and that's the GOP. If a freeper stays home, it's a GOP vote lost. It is a plus for Democrats.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Dismissed, kiddo.
