It seems the turnout model ran smack dab into electoral reality.
They had a four year head start. You know that their organization OFA had permanent offices in Ohio, Florida and here in VA and in NC (to a lesser extent). They had people on the ground setting the stage for this election starting in early 2009. All those OFA people were getting paid by Soros money and some were even getting local college and high schools to give credit for kids coming to “intern”.
These people live a breath this stuff and we only concern ourselves when elections come around.
They have been polling and walking the streets asking questions for over four years. There is no way you can defeat that with a six month presence, just none.
here’s my issue- we’ve got the Koch Brothers, people like Alderson and probably even Trump with big bank accounts- why doesn’t the GOP do this??? why do they sit around and be passive-reactive???
and i’m not asking to do this three years in advance- bit how about last January when the primaries started???
Defeating any incumbent president is serious, difficult and expensive business, especially w a president coddled and protected by the MSM. Since 1900, only 4 presidents were denied re-election, three of whom were primaried. (Excluding Ford since he was never elected in his own right). Moreover, of the 4 defeated incumbents, only one was a Dem, Carter.
The race was this: Romney ran better than his campaign. Obama’s campaign ran much better than Obama.
They had a 4-yr invisible army that was missed or dismissed.
