I would like to point out something I hear no one speaking about.

Obama won Indiana by 1%. Mitch Daniels, Indiana's conservative and very effective Governor won re-election in the same election by close to 30%. A blowout.

So what are we to believe? Are we to believe that the same kind of voter who would select Obama also selected Daniels.

Would it not be far more prudent to believe that the conservative voters in Indiana, in mass, walked out on McCain by making no selection for President and then voted for Governor?

Will those voters return and when?

The turn out in Indiana was large.. There were few who did not vote.

Swing voters determine who wins in Indiana. Swing voters determine who wins in 16 states. Swing voters, sometimes called moderates, do not vote on ideology. They vote based on two simple criteria. They vote for the most likable candidate who promises to do the most or them.

If the moderate voters like a candidate they will vote for that candidate. If both candidates are equally likable they will vote for the candidate that they think will do the most for them (not society at large.. not the economy.. but for them). For moderate voters ideology is never a factor.

There is a lot of election history in which moderate voters will in the same election vote for a very liberal candidate for one office and a very conservativew one for another office. That is what happened in indiana... the swing voters went for the Governor. They also went for Obama.

If the views that persuade Conservatives persuaded Moderates, all Moderates would be Conservatives.

Check the numbers and see if you have a lot of ballots in Indiana that ONLY voted for President. We had 117,000+ in Oklahoma although it didn't make any difference here as ZERO still couldn't win a county.

A lot of the in-person and absentee voter fraud came through ballots only voting for one person ballot — President. Here in Oklahoma we almost lost a State Senate race due to voter fraud of ACORN.

Everyone needs to start checking their local precincts and see if the voters are legit. We cannot wait until the summer of 2010 and start yelling. You can force the local election board to take off fraudulent voters with perseverance.

That is also why I support Ken Blackwell for the new RNC Chair because he understands the magnitude of ACORN voter fraud. He is conservative and won't be silenced or give in. Everyone needs to call/write your national committeeman/woman and State Chair to ask them to vote for Ken Blackwell. He is not a member of the RNC which is exactly what we need. No members after the last two debacles.
