Many FReepers have been telling me that such conclusions are PRE-MATURE as Voting counts have not been totally concluded yet (For instance, California is still tallying their votes and only 70% have been counted ).
Look at the White Voter article I just posted.
The billion in negative ads turned off voters. They just didn’t show up.
I wonder how many republicans stayed home when Mitt and Obama (in the debates) argued who could ban more "assault weapons" the fastest?
Etc.
Why did Romney get a full 2,000,000 fewer votes than McCain did? Why did those voters pull the lever for McCain, but not for Romney? Who were they and where did they go? That is what Republican and conservative strategists need to find out.
Unless the Republicans get busy and push voter registration for Republican inclined nonvoters this loss of Republican voters will continue because men, unlike corporate trusts, die!.
Part of the problem is the belief by Romney and his chief supporters in the GOP-e that there's a political middle made up of independent, undecided, moderate whatevers ~ who vote, presumably.
As I've been preaching for years, there's no such middle. Does not exist. Never did exist. This is not the 1793 French General Assembly!
The key to winning the presidency is simple ~ find Republicans, get them registered, make sure they vote for the party candidates. Then, have the candidate exhort them to get out there and get people to vote for the party candidates, and get people to the polls, or whatever other voting method we are using.
If the candidate is off somewhere speaking inoffensive platitudes and pie in the sky to the non existent undecided middle, he will lose the attention of the Republican voters.
I'm still waiting for Romney to initiate his campaign BTW. Dude even came to my neighborhood, but it was a closed, by invitation only, meeting with American Legion dignitaries.
Highly disturbing visit BTW. All the traffic disruption with none of the excitement that's supposed to come with a political gathering.
Mitt Romney wasn't perfect, but he was the right man to get the economy back on track.
If you stayed home...you deserve to be destitute...just as the rest of us will be once Obama is finished with us.
Your worse then the Democrats!!!!!
A long vanity thread I ran yesterday
Single women voting for Obama as a replacement for hubby/babydaddy.
For the democrats, men have been replaced by the state as the provider for women. Look at the creepy Julia ad that BO ran. We may think it’s creepy, but for many single women, it’s the truth.
40% of kids born right now are to single women, over 70% if they’re black.
We have created a Frankenstein like monster with several generations of women who depend upon the state to support them. And they’re going to keep voting for their meal ticket
The demo’s didn’t change, but the managed fraud was well planned and executed.
That seems to turn off the evangelicals quite a bbit..
Good article. Understanding the numers are estimates,
Obama saw a 9.35 million vote loss from 2008( 13.4%). Romney saw a 2.5 million vote loss from mccain 2008( 4.2%).
Overall there was an 11.55million vote loss.
Someone didn’t vote in the R columns. Was it because Romney is a Mormon? Were Tea Partiers involved? Did Evangelical Christians apathetic?
The MSM needz to get rid of people like Beckel, Williams(both Brian & Juan), Matthews, maddow, etc... None have accomplished anything except withholding outright laughter when they try to sell their BS.
Do the vote totals match the number of people that voted? It is easy to figure out but I doubt we will ever learn that information. We also need that data to determine if any specific areas were undervoted this election.
Everyone has an opinion. No message connection, Christie turned the tide, the storm caused many less voters, younger people would not vote for R.
We will find the Tea Party voted in large numbers. The storm & Christie did not make any difference. I am in NJ. If anything the D’s lost votes by not voting. Christian coalition did not turn out for their own cause. Shame on them. They wishy-washy Liberatarians didn’t vote( includes other Indies). They claim it is a conscious thing but they really want the Dems to win to keep themselves relevant.
The message(s) got out on both sides. The results are all due to turnout or the lack thereof. We knew many Dems were going to stay home and over 9 million did. Why 2.5 million people failed to show up for Romney is the key question. We all have to live with it. He had to be more popular than Mccain. Those people deserve what they get.
The big thing I find remarkable is his election win this year with a few minor adjustments to numbers was nearly identical to his first shall we say fraud. What are the chances of that happening?
