The real problem in Virginia (as elsewhere) is that conservatives who should have been motivated to vote against Obama did no bother to votet. In many cases they were not even registered (which is completely trivial to do in Virginia).
“I wasn't even going to vote” he said. “ who am I going to vote for, Donald Duck?”
My friend is not a political animal. He has voted in the past. I do not know if he voted this year or not. But he, like many did not vote at all because he saw the same old lack of choice that gave us candidate McCain.
Can't say I blame him. I blame the defective Republican Party.
Yes there was voter fraud. Yes conservatives did not turn out in waves as expected. The bottom line is that Team Obama earned the election over the last four years:
1. Team Obama, aided and abetted by the MSM, was able to frame the election away from the economy to the perception of how the GOP and Big Business created the mess in the first place.
2. Team Obama spent four years using Alinsky tactics in identifying, registering, and delivering the votes of persons and groups sympahetic to their cause in the so called swing stats.
3. Team Obama, blending Alinsky and Chicago thug tactics played the game to win.
Team Romney had no counter, offered no vision, gave the voters no reason to vote for him except that he was not Obama.
