Elections most assuredly including primaries and all the stuff that leads INTO primaries like publicity. The people who did not vote in GOP primaries this year but could have, would have sufficed in principle to get Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich or whatever not-Mitt into the nomination.
Obama, in the meantime, just gained a quantum leap in stink. What has he to say about this — who cares? Obamacare was his totally 100% partisan baby and he can’t burn THAT birth certificate.
You are right about lazy conservative voters who did not turn out in higher numbers for Cain/Newt. I did my share.
I am hoping we all turn out with enthusiasm to turn out Obama out of office in November 2012. Otherwise this country is gone to a 3rd world status by 2016.
