They'll show up for the down ticket offices but pass on the Presidential part.
Now, the tough part ~ we had 17 million (est) Evangelicals skip the 2008 election ~ was that because of the main candidate's divorce record, or his pudgy mouthy daughter, or were they simply not interested in his program (assuming Evangelical voters might well vote based on a candidate's voting record)?
We might lose another 17 million on top of the 17 million who skipped McCain.
Obama's losses would have to be of staggering proportions to make up for Republican losses.
Sure, times are tough and the country's lost more than half it's private wealth, but that doesn't mean they're going to go out and vote for a yo yo with no plans or Conservative voting record!
When we need a Roosevelt we've got ourselves a Willkie.
I have a clue to the puzzle. Let's have somebody start running for President and see what happens
The bible thumpers are mostly one or two issue voters. They vote pro-life, and anti-gay. While Romney is no glowing social conservative he is by far better than the alternative.
I’ll wager you right now that Romney pulls 5 million more votes than McCain-—at the very least. Probably 6-7.
