Populations have grown in the last four years but registrations have lagged.

Now about what Obama's peeps did ~ apparently very little. They had 69 million voters in 2008 ~ and they proceeded to lose about 10% of them in this election!

THAT IS A HUGE NUMBER!

Although a major loss like that wasn't a surprise to Conservative Republicans, the political model believed by the GOP-e simply couldn't deal with it.

Let me remind folks that Conservative Republicans told the GOP-e that it was time for a Conservative to run ~ not the hapless Mitt Romney whose performance in primaries and caucuses, and public standing polls hadn't improved in the 7 years overwhich he'd been campaigning.

It was time for a change, not more of the same, and with the Democrats getting ready to go belly-up, we needed someone who would secure our political positions throughout the Constitutional offices.

We weren't listened to; GOP-e gained an iron grip on the campaign fund sources; and the party flamed out ~ Mitt not only lost (with his vote totals not keeping up with simple population growth since McCain's run) he took down 23 senate seats!

In the swing states Romney's vote total ALREADY beats McCain even with growth in the voting age population accounted for. And many swing states don't have final totals yet.

23 senate seats? Huh? Akin and Mourdock took themselves down, and in most states where Republicans lost senate seats Romney outperformed the Republican senate candidate.
