In 2012, all the major voter shifts (or consolidation processes) seemed to go in favour of Mr Obama...not so much - in fact 'rats should be a bit uncomfortable with their status at thsi point - Obama lost something like 7 million voters between 2008 and last Tuesday. He held on to the Zombie vote - blacks, hispanics and the young who are programmed to vote for 'rats culturally and traditionally. In fact he is uniquely positioned to draw them to the polls, being black, young, and the first minority president - but it's not clear that some other non-minority, not so "cool" 'rat would draw nearly the percentages of these groups he did. Meanwhile, a bunch of people didn't come back for what he was peddling - I'm guessing a lot of them were miners who finally after four years decided that a guy who arrogantly announces that he's going to bankrupt the industry which provides you your livlihood is not the guy you should be voting for.
And the fun is just beginning - when the wave of layoffs caused by Obamacare hits, and all those youngsters and single females start realizing that their healthcare isn't really free but instead comes with a big insurance or tax bill, per the Supreme Court, I'm thinking a bunch more 'rats will be looking elsewhere for some cool guy to vote for - maybe a Ryan or Rubio. Be afraid Democrats, be at least a little afraid......

Yes, but maybe by then they’ll move on to unemployment and welfare checks, EBT cards, crystal meth, oblivion... and not care so much about voting.
