Apparently one million evangelicals and at least that many conservatives just decided to ride out the next decade or so since there was no one to represent them. the Democrats dislike bordering on hate both evangelicals and conservatives and the Republicans are embarrassed by them.
I would suggest that at least 2-5 million voters sat out this election on principal. More than just a few due to their prejudice against the Mormon Church. I know we have seen some of them here on Free Republic.
7 million of Obama's original 69 million voters sat this election out.
Were they Evangelicals, or black Mormons perhaps, or maybe people tired of 5 solid years of total unemployment?
When you get a situation like that with massive defections, and you are the opponent, you speak to the question ~ and that was JOBS
I'm still waiting on Romney to start his campaign where he will tell us what he's going to do to get folks employed ~ FAST!
