Take THAT all you “conservatives” who stayed home or voted third party.

I keep hearing this but unfortunately I was away during the election and missed quite a bit of posts. What proof do we have that the election was lost because conservatives stayed home? From what I have read turnout was similar to 2004.

McCain received 8 million less votes from conservative voters that voted for GW in 2004.

Turnout was less than in 2004 for Republicans. McCain got less votes than bush in 2004 by a few million. Some of those 2004 Bush voters went over to 0bama, but many of them stayed home.
