The numbers don't bear out the notion that "4 million conservatives stayed home" in 2012. Rush says this---based on a single IN article of flimsy evidence. But Romney got about 10,000 fewer votes in OH in 2012. Multiply that in the other key states like FL, VA, NV, CO, even blue states like NJ, PA, MI, WI and you have maybe 100,000. That's a long way from "4 million."

But nationally Romney got a million more votes than McCain. I'm pretty sure they didn't come from CA and NY.

So our side needs to quit blaming the "conservatives who stayed home." They didn't.

Your point in your Post #69 is well taken. For months, I’ve disputed that 4 million number myself. But, I did not use the number of “4 million”. As closely divided as this nation is today, it doesn’t take 4 million people staying home to turn an Election, 1 million will do it.

As a side bar: I personally know people who did not vote at all because Romney was a Mormon.
