Interest in voting for an underwhelming GOP establishment guy - about the same (6 votes in 2008, 5 votes in 2012)
Interest in voting for Obama - a HUGE drop!!!! (15 votes in 2008, 5 votes in 2012)
If this trend continues (where there's just no excitement for the majority of their base to even bother to show up)... then Election Day 2012 is going to be nice.
However, if the other trend indicated there continues - that it's a close contest - then I'm going to run out of fingernails to chew on nervously.
good analysis
