I know NObody that likes obama and the ones that think he hasn't been that bad think he WILL BE WORSE in a second term and were not planning on votiung for obama.
Certainly I don't get around to every circle in the county, but I'm vocal enough (and embarassing ... just ask my wife) to have a feel for the climate, and I felt NO obama love at all.
Every talk show had callers telling about lines they'd never seen so long, all happy to finally get obama out and a R in .. etc.
The end result was a close 52/47 % split in an area I thought was closer to 75/25 Romney.
NOTHING adds up, except fraud.
The cause is invariably realignment of voting princints to support revised Congressional legislative district boundaries.
The problem is fairly universal so just because somebody reported long lines doesn't mean a thing ~ somebody else didn't report no lines at all ~ because that's not news.
“NOTHING adds up, except fraud. “
I hear ya, totally, and I agree that fraud is no doubt a major portion of the voting numbers not being as expected. I think what muawiyah was trying to say is that perhaps also there have been a number of deaths in the last 4 years that alsoa account for many, more than expected, number of less voters, and I agree. But I also saw numbers that suggest many voters simply didn’t vote, the percent participation was also lower than in 2008.
