Converting Democrats does little good if they don't vote, or if they're in the wrong states.
One of the quicky 'what if' analyses demonstrated that as few as 100,000 more Republican voters voting Republican were needed to switch states from one column to another in sufficient number to change the electoral vote to a Romney win.
It pains me that Romney needed so few Republicans to eek out a victory ~ you'd think there'd be a vast number who'd walk out on the puke, but there it is.
Still, registration drives are the name of the game.
BTW, the Democrats are definitely aware of how narrow their victory was and understand that they are OVERCLUSTERED in too few states. In the long run they may well be so marginalized that they cease being able to run national elections.
Interesting analysis....and spurs a thought in my mind: will the “clusterization” of Democrats happen first, or will the ‘invasion” of red states by those who are fleeing the clusters hit critical mass first? I don’t pretend to know the answer, but whichever dynamic hits critical mass first could determine the direction of the country. (did we just stumble together into a produndity?)
