What is the official story of this presidential election? |
|
Even though more 18-29 year-olds voted for Kerry;
and
even though more Bush-2000 voters chose Kerry than Gore-2000 voters chose Bush;
none-the-less
there were millions more people who didn't vote in 2000, who in 2004 voted for Bush than for Kerry?

2. yes, but if more Bush-2000 voters chose Kerry then Gore-2000 voters |
|
chose Bush, and more 18-29 year-olds chose Kerry, where did Bush get so many more votes than in 2000?

5. Good question. I don't know where they came from. |
|
Or if they even exist. Actually, I should say, I don't know if they exist as B*sh voters. I think they flipped Kerry votes to the other column. I can well believe we registered that amount.

3. It was about morality in general |
|
Abortion, gay marriage, believability

6. but if more people swtched to the Dem. ticket from 2000 |
|
than switched from the Republican ticket, and more 18-29 year-olds voted for Kerry, how do the numbers add up regardless of issues?

7. That information came from the same exit polls... |
|
...that also showed Kerry far ahead, and which we aren't supposed to believe.

8. Where are the raw figures for the reasons? |
|
And why do "moral" people think that starting an illegal war, killing thousands, is OK?
And does anybody actually believe that President My Pet Goat is tough on terror?

is that it was about moral values. But as far as I understand, that assumption is based upon the exit polls. The same polls that are flawed when we talk about who people actually voted for :think:
