Hmmm...

[Preliminary figures suggest fewer people voted this year than four years ago, when voters shattered turnout records as they elected Obama to his first term.

In most states, the numbers are shaping up to be even lower than in 2004, said Curtis Gans, director of American University's Center for the Study of the American Electorate. Every state is showing lower numbers than in 2008, Gans said. Still, the full picture may not be known for weeks because much of the counting takes place after Election Day.

"This is one of those rare elections in which turnout in every state in the nation went down," Gans said....]

5 million conservatives stayed home this year

5 million conservatives stayed home this year

Thank the RNC for this - they found the candidate that made republican voters feel more disenfranchised than McCain/Palin.

I think Ryan might have a shot at a future VP run, but Romney needs to go back to sucking the government's teat and sending US jobs overseas...

9M less voted D.
2M less voted R.
1M voted Gary Johnson.

3M difference between D and R totals. Johnson must have stolen the win from the Rs.
