O and Dems had real get-out-the vote efforts in key swing states while stupid Rs were too busy patting themselves on the back telling each other how O was toast, till judgement day=election day.
“No Mitt, dont bring up Bengazi, you have the election in the bag, Rush said so”
Besides, Mitt got more votes than McCain did. If these non- voting Rs were in Red states that R won anyway then it had no effect.
Here at Maine’s state convention, over half the delegates were liberty leaning republicans. Over half.
The old guard,mainstream,myopic party leaders went to great lengths in both words and actions to make them feel as unwelcome as possible.
After the state convention these liberty candidates were ridiculed and vilified by these same republicans at meetings, fundraisers, and in the press.
Think about this. Half the active grassroots delegates were told to go to h*ll.
And we are surprised to find they stayed home on election day ?
