In the 2010 election we shaved six percent off the election results for our current state AG. I figure six percent because that is how much less of the vote he got that did the republican governor received. Both were republican candidates. Both on the same ticket. Both frequently campaigned together. The candidate for AG had played a strong role in the anti mmj campaign in 2008. It cost him six percent in the election. How close are elections these days? What percent of the population is highly motivated on this topic? Five percent? Ten percent? Then what percent of the population can be swayed by those that are highly motivated? Some .. how many? NO ONE KNOWS. Is it 'a' factor in elections? Yes. So why is no one trying to determine how far this goes? What would the republicans do to see a six percent jump in election results????
