never saw that coming
oh wait, I did
all you need to do is see the reaction here between Mormons and other various Christian denominations to understand people would stay home instead of vote
of course, the other main reason Romney lost was the demographic no one is talking about. the druggies, deviants, and various criminal types. they look at Romney as their polar opposite... everything they could have been... the summation of their failures... and they run screaming (mentally) from Romney.
one reason Sarah is so appealing is her background. the more they try to tear her down, the more she ‘looks like them)
Of course people are missing the key point from Trende that it wasn't whites in Southern/Evangelical states that stayed home.
Republican turnout in Arkansas was not only better for Romney than McCain, it was better for Romney than for Bush in 2004, even when adjusted for population growth.
How is that remotely possible if the Mormon thing had even the slightest influence?
