It's a race to find and register new voters and the Republicans can win it if they care.
George Bush had 64 million voters show up. McCain had 60 million, and Romney had 61.
So what happened? Why did the Republican party quit finding and registering new voters?
Notice that phenomenon started with Bush since he got his 64 million in 2004! It's just not possible for a political party to lose 4 million of its current voters in an 8 year period and then not get a single new voter!
There are 90 million Americans who are eligible to vote who never vote. Why don't they vote? That's more people not voting than there are people voting for either major party!
If the Democrats can reach out and tap that well of nonvoters we lose. If the Republicans can reach out and tap that well of nonvoters, the Democrats lose!
Note, these are NOT the non-existent 10% undecided voters in the middle ~ Romney's story at fundraising events notwithstanding ~ these people simply don't vote!
No, they WON’T vote for people they can no longer trust.
What planet are you living on?
Wait till Obama’s Death Panels start culling out conservatives. Need a heart to live? Too bad. Need a liver to live? Too bad. Need a blood transfusion? Too bad.
If the IRS can target conservatives, what makes you think Obama’s Death Panels won’t. It’s coming.
The Dems have the best groundgame..they work through the unions, the churches, and the neighborhoods...they start as soon as the election is over and keep it up week after week, month after month..continuously contacting their people!
the Republicans begin about 6 mos out from the election with their ground game.
