Just As I Suspected
If you're patient long enough the smoke screens will eventually give way to reality. Illusions and delusions will prove to be what they really are as the facts make themselves known. All this talk about an unprecedented voter turnout led by younger voters, first-time voters, minority voters, etc. was all part of the Obama/Democrat/mainstream media deception machine intending to generate inordinate enthusiasm for Obama supporters and despair for McCain's. The truth? It is just as I suspected.This from CNN:
A new report from American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate concludes that voter turnout in Tuesday’s election was the same in percentage terms as it was four years ago — or at most has risen by less than 1 percent.Not only that, but
A downturn in the number and percentage of Republican voters going to the polls seemed to be the primary explanation for the lower than predicted turnout.This confirms my suspicion. When all is said and done, the election boiled down to voter turnout. Republicans simply could not generate the support they needed. This is what happens when your candidate has spent the last 10 years of his career in the Senate reaching across the aisle trying to be all things to all people. The bottom line: a Republican cannot act like a Democrat and get elected any more than a Democrat can act like a Democrat and get elected.
I respect John McCain very, very much. He would have been a good president, as opposed to Obama, who is about as qualified as my 10 month old daughter. But I could never really get excited about McCain, and it appears that the same is true for many of my like-minded Reagan conservative peers. This election, in many ways, appears to have been something of a protest election. Republicans are sick of this neo-conservatism characterized by big-spending policies and weak social values. Where is the next Ronald Reagan?
