The 45% of Dems thinking about not voting this year.
I would like to see a breakdown on the political leanings of these Dems who say they may not vote or have decided they will not vote.

1. That's about the normal number that don't vote
how do you think a minority Republican party is able to win? The Dems are notoriously poor at actually voting.

2. The poll implies that turnout will be no different then any other off year election.

A 50% turnout amongst Dems in an non-presidential election would be rather normal I would think.

7. The problem is that I know of at least one person
Edited on Sun Jan-10-10 03:45 PM by rebel with a cause
who is so disgusted with the naysayers out there that they say that they will never vote again. They still support Obama but don't want to feel responsible for putting someone else in the position of being torn apart the way he is being done. So the teabaggers and other so called crazies are doing what they want to do, discourage others from taking a stand against them. :banghead:
