Are you sure?
Indeed, in an election that was touted to produce a record turnout, it didn't happen. Three million fewer votes were cast than in 2004. Obama drew 4 million more votes than Kerry...McCain drew 7 million votes fewer than Bush.
Tell me: what happened to the conservative vote?
Personally, I don't think it was ever really there.
GWB barely squeaked by Gore, and only beat Kerry by a couple of percent and he was the most conservative candidate we could nominate.
I could be wrong and a lot of conservatives actually were that stupid.

Oh, I can answer that one. A lot of them sat at home, because they didn’t see much difference between McCain, the ultimate RINO/maverick, and Obama, the leftist socialist. Hard to get enthusiastic voting for a candidate like McCain you know.
