Baffling. I thought the R's would get out in force for Mr. Romney. They didn't. I don't know why. I thought we had a much better candidate that 2008. McCain pissed me off every time he spoke especially the time he stopped campaigning to go back to congress and work on a solution. The conservative base was demoralized and obama proved worse than I thought possible. We got less and he got a lot less. The big question is "who stayed home and why?"

Well, I'm not surprised about the vote being down in my state ... there was no campaign here except for the daily Obama tv ads. I figured there would be an effective campaign in the swing states ... apparently not. People on SI are telling me Romney's ads ignored basic issues that would have helped Romney (his job creation record) and hurt Obama (standing down in Benghazi while our SEALS were killed). There's a problem about the Presidential candidate neglecting campaigning in safe red states ... a lot of people vote straight ticket for the guy at the top. That hurts Republicans in places like Harris county TX where I see in todays paper lots of Democratic county judges got elected by 50.something percent.
