“However Obama still could have been handed an embarrassing defeat if only the 4 MILLION conservatives who voted Republican in 2008 would have voted. By NOT VOTING they voted FOR obama. “
i wonder if those 4 million who didn’t vote in 2012 really did vote? do you recall poll watchers in Ohio and elsewhere reporting that votes cast by voters for Romney were being recorded as votes for BO? it just seemed that Repubs are just too weak to pursue these issues, unlike Democratic candidates who appear to lose by small margins, but end up winning because the Dem party suddenly finds bags of uncounted votes, or calls for recount after recount until their candidate is declared the winner. also. weren’t the 2012 national election votes counted by some overseas business concern?
