re: #235 looking closely

Great article at “The New Majority”:
It hurts…

Stay at home voters cost McCain the victory, NOT “Obamania”.

Possibly, they were discouraged by the omnipresent shilling for Obama by just about every mainstream media outlet. People aren’t going to get up and wait in line three hours to vote, if they think their vote won’t matter.

Or possibly because the Repub’s offered a watered down version of a real candidate.
