“What makes you think that Tea Party members or “mama grizzlies” did not vote for McCain? Why exactly so you call them new voters?”
Many in the Tea Party, Mama Grizzly, and PUMA movements sat home in 2008. They just didn’t vote for either Obama or McCain. Some may have voted 3rd party.
Look at how the the 2010 mid-terms were very different from 2008. Tea Party and Conservatives turned out in huge numbers in 2010. That’s why the 2010 mid-terms were historic.
Folks the tea party movement was a direct result of the high handed policies of Obama so unless they had time machines, they could NOT vote for McStain (QED, its a logic thang)...I would support retroactive voting if it could get rid of the One, but I dont think that would fly, even with libtards<< shaking head>>
***How many?, Where did you get statistics?***

***Approx 90.7 million Americans voted in 2010 (41% of eligible voters) but approx 131.4 million Amereicans voted for POTUS (any vote) in 2008 (57% of eligable voters).
In 2008 132,645,505 Americans voted in total. Of these 131,304,731 voted for a POTIS candidate.
That means that approx. 1% of Americans who voted in 2008 chose to boycott the POTUS line....1%.
I believe the PUMAs were a red herring promoted by the Dems. Anyone who wanted to vote for someone like Hillary would vote for anybody other than a Republican. They held their noses and voted Dem.
It is a party of liars and we’d best remember that in the next election.
