And we registered several million new voters, and they voted for GWB. Those same people are not excited at all about a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda Rudy Giuliani.
there isn't anything the federal government can do about gay civil unions in the states. Thompson, Hunter, pick any of them. you could elect James Dobson president and he couldn't do anything about it either.
yes, you are correct. that 80-20 margin and those new voters, voted for GWB. and with all that, he managed to win by one state with a 65K vote swing. that's the point, even with the maximum effect of that demographic, that's the best we could do. in 2008, we have other factors working against electing a republican (hispanics, independents not happy with iraq, etc, etc) - so a "repeat performance" of the same turnout and electoral model in 2008 - I just don't think it can get it done.
