I saw the same in Florida. Way more support for Romney. Way more intensity for Romney. It’s doesn’t make sense.
Maybe those two extra voting days created by the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections paid off. A Democrat, certainly a coincidence.
At our Northern VA polling place, the southernmost part of Northern VA, in a county that you would think would be solid red, my daughter reported that turnout was way up, but she had a bad feeling seeing all of the sample DEM ballots in people’s hands.
I don’t know, perdogg, but apparently all those polls using D+11 samples and such were dead on accurate.
Romney should have picked Christie. Christie’s an obnoxious jerk, but he could have put some swing states in play. By choosing Ryan, Romney enlarged his red state margin. Clinton chose a Southern strategy by picking Gore. Romney needed a Northern strategy by picking a RINO.
The conservative media also lives in a bubble, and suffers from group think. This idea that giveme states would turn back against Obama and vote for Mitt were joke predictions. Just like the stupid line, that everybody I know voted for blah.
Rove, Forbes, Barone, and Wayne Allyn Root need to get out said bubble.
Also, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse showed up - Sandy, Christie, Akin and Mourdock.
I had Mitt pegged during the GOP debates as a "kindly, vapid grandfather" and nothing I saw subsequently changed my impression.
We lost because we have more people who believe they are entitled to things. And they could care less where it comes from as long as they don’t have to pay for it.
Romney should have explained why this cannot continue for the sake of the nation’s economic health.
He did not. This should have been a slam dunk election for the GOP and they blew it big time. Romney should have hammered Obama but he tried to be too nice so as to not lose the independent vote.
America lost.
God removed his blessing of America.
see Rove vs wade.
Roe vs Wade
Did you really think that Virginia, with those legions of
people on the Federal Government paycheck gravy train, were
going to vote for Romney?
We just won a Darwin Award for a whole country.
Same old story, when the American voter has a choice between a liberal Dim and a liberal Republican they choose the liberal Dim every time....
1. The media.
2. Free stuff.
3. Voter fraud.
4. Stupidity.
In addition, we’re in the “high” part of our debt addiction. Unemployment is slightly down and the stock market is 48% higher than at the end of 2008. The crash will come later, but Latin American economies have had decade-long booms from debt binges. Heck - we had a seven-year high from the mortgage debt binge that started in late 2001 before it came crashing down in 2008. If the market had dropped 2000 points in the final month of the campaign, Romney would have won.
Quite simple, the GOP needs to drop the social zealots and stop ignoring the minirities. The GOP can not win the whithouse by only relying on white males.
75% of the Latino vote went to Obama. 93+% of the black vote went for Obama. I’m not sure about the female vote, but that went for Obama as well.
Until those numbers change, the Democrats own the whitehouse from now until the end of time. Start by kicking the bedroom police arm of the GOP to the curb.
What happened is that your state, along with Maryland has prospered off the sweat of the rest of us. Virginia is one big welfare queen.
Simple really. The looters and moochers apparently retained enough of a sense of shame to keep quiet about their political predilections but were still venal enough to follow through with them. On second thought, maybe it was more guile than shame. I fear the only way out now is systemic collapse. We may have to literally starve off the ticks if we’re ever to be free of them again. They’ll certainly not voluntarily vote themselves smaller pensions and fewer benefits, or lower salaries. Not out of shame at bleeding the rest of us dry. Not out of concern over the debasement of a once great currency. Nope, they’ll suck our blood till they hit the marrow and then try for a bite of that. They must be destroyed root and branch.
massive voter fraud, along with foreign money is destroying this country...purposely! UNLESS this is somehow undone....
and all co-conspirators are reviled,we are in for very bad times. If most thought that the country was divided, they have just witnessed the break......
