Republicans, of course always vote Republican”
Your analysis makes us all feel better, but it doesn’t use what is a sad fact on our side. Yes, when Repubs vote, they vote Repub.
But they don’t always vote.
In 2000, millions of evangelicals didn’t bother. Bush loses the popular vote and almost loses.
In 2002, and 2004, evangelicals show up, and voila we do great, even making Senate gains.
Then the big catastrophe in 2006 when basically our votes are left on the table.
Bottom line, there is no guarantee that our people will show up...and certainly the Ds are going to show up big time this year, living and not living. (Not talking about freepers and activists, but rather those voters who are sort of conservative but not intensely committed to voting...they make the difference).
Even so, we have to hope that your analysis is right and that an unreported miracle happens here.
The Evangelicals will show up for Palin and for the Supreme Court.
