Well, I hope you are right. I have been getting emails from friends of mine that have never voted Democrat and are voting Obama. My mom, a lifelong Republican in Colorado (just damn), also voting Obama.
Again, I hope you guys are right, but I don’t think it looks very good. I also think there are more Democrats then Republicans. All you have to do is look at the state numbers of registered voters. The Dems have about a 7 point registration advantage.

Dems could have a 50% advantage, but if they don’t come out and vote in the same % the GOP does, they’ll lose.
Now does this artificially inflate the expected PUMA factor?
I totally agree. But what makes you think they aren’t going to come out?
In 2004, the % of GOP and DEM voters was the same - 37% of the total vote nationally. I think the %’s will be roughly the same this year. I haven’t seen anything to make me think any differently.
Folks, I am toast. I have been fasting (bread and water mostly) for a couple of days.
I was able to get food and sleep. I am back... But I kind of wish I could have continued the fasting...
I also, in the previous post meant to say that that I thought Freerepublic was kicking the political "behinds" of the left.
Well done to Jim Robinson!
Well done to John Robinson!
Well done to all our moderators!
+God bless America!
Exactly right. When it comes to the ACTUAL VOTING, I know we have the VOTES to put McCain-Palin in White House.
But the enemy has manipulation via media propaganda.....
