We held our own with as many in 2012 as we'd had in 2008.
Our big drop came between 2004 and 2008 ~ 4 million lost voters.
Now, the problem, we've got about 2/3 of the country who are old enough to vote. That's over 200 million people. The Democrats don't even get 1/3 of that potential vote!
We are as bad, but THEY ARE OUT THERE.
Registration and Get Out The Vote programs are vital ~ we can win every election if we get out more Republican oriented voters.
No, The Republican Party won't win as it is now liberal based - the conservatives left when the Party basically kicked them out. And, it doesn't matter who is president now as the economic collapse cannot be averted. That is reality.
I'm in Texas and that is my focus now as this state is healthy in state spending and cannot by state constitution spend more than they take in. Businesses are moving here and conservatives are moving here from debt ridden blue states with few jobs. We have jobs here.
When the economic collapse happens to this country, we will be hurt less than other states.
And, Texans will never give up their guns no matter what president Hussein does - a pox on president Hussein. I'm buying another rifle with 25 bullet magazine, so there, Hussein, chew on that. Long live Texas.
