ref your last two lines.
Have you looked at these results like others have?
Just asking because if you had and seen what many others had seen then you would know that republicans did turn out, that not turning out is a media talking point to have us move on.
Look at FL and how West has seen republican votes were not counted in the Dem county.
Look at how precincts had 100% votes for obama
Military votes in just one state VA went evenly which is unheard of
WI went republican but did not for for Ryan but for a Dem senator and obama
Look at the republican observers thrown out in over 20 precincts in Philly and in FL
It goes on and on, I think it was WI which had 44 polling station but Romney got 1 vote
Mia Love in UT wh was up double digits just before the election but lost and who the left knew was a threat to them
Until, the GOP deploys a ground game, we will keep losing.
When I was judge of elections in the 2000 election, I saw the Dems ground game. I could cpeculate about fraud, and all that, and there may have been some, but what the Dems are good at, is getting their voters to the polls. and making sure that they vote. The pick them up at their homes, and deliver them to the polling places.
If we are not willing to do that, we will not win.
“ref your last two lines. Have you looked at these results like others have?”
My last two lines didn’t mean what you seem to assume. What I had in mind were not just the “lost McCain voters” (the numbers on that story are both evolving and distributed in ways that had uneven effects on state outcome), but the millions of independents and “moderate Democrats”, who by all rights SHOULD have voted for Romney. These votes were critical to build a margin of victory to offset the Dem’s massive fraud operations. This group voted for Reagan under similar circumstances (an incompetent Dem President, wrecked economy, weak foreign policy, etc). I am not an advocate of pandering to dependency voters and amnesty hounds to get votes, or becoming Democrats-Lite. What I do want is a less destructive nominating process, better down-ticket candidate development, and a much stronger job of presenting an unapologetic conservative agenda. Romney tried to be too genial and non-specific. This did not provide a strong positive reason for moderates to turn out for him, and allowed attack ads and the media to portray him as unprincipled, pet-abusing, bullying, and insincere. The negative attacks on Romney raised enough doubts to keep the “moderate/independent” voters from voting for him. 9 million+ of these stayed home rather than vote for Obama.
