In the last two important elections, (Wisconsin recall and 2010 Congressional elections) the GOP turnout equaled or exceeded that of the Democrats. I don’t know why people think the momentum has reversed.

I do think minority voters will turnout for Obama in the same high percentage as they did in 2008 (13% for blacks, I believe). On the other hand, I don’t think the twenty-somethings will be out like they did four years ago.

It’s up to us. If we go out and vote, and get our conservative friends to vote, we can win this thing.

” On the other hand, I don’t think the twenty-somethings will be out like they did four years ago.”

Good point. However, very doubtful the twenty somethings will fall in line for any new, ship off to war hype, George Bush on steroids, or HillaryRomneyExtortionCare. So break even on that demographic.

Many voters may perceive the so called GOP as hyjacked with a plant.
