Republicans unenthusiastic about the nominee could stay home
Quote:
According to exit polls, some 4 million fewer Republicans voted in 2008 than had turned out four years earlier. And polls suggest that enthusiasm for the Republican frontrunner this time is lower than it was at a similar point in the 2008 contest.

Weren't there a bunch of Republicans for Obama?

Enthusiasm for the front runner may not be great but the enthusiasm for getting the Train Wreck In Chief out of the WH on 1/20/13 certainly is.

Realizing, of course, that voting for any of them is worse than not voitn at all.

I clicked on the link and didn't see anything that spoke of voter enthusiasm at all. It was an article on Mitt Romney being politically "risk averse."

I think people are more enthused about avoiding another catastrophic Obama term.

Not true.
Voting for a third party is better than not voting at all.
After all, that's one more vote the Dems/GOP won't be getting and if you don't vote for the two-party status quo then they don't want you voting at all.

I love to hear him talk. The more he talks the more people can see through his BS and agenda.

Leadership by ridicule and blame.

Love it. Only the C-D faithful could turn a thread titled: Are Republicans poised to support Obama, Again? with a working sub-title of:"Republicans unenthusiastic about the nominee could stay home" into a succession of posts to the effect that the disgust with Obama is having on Republicans and what that will mean for his administration (its over). Given the sources present in this discussion where is the evidence for this kind of certainty? That kind of willing suspension of disbelief is at the root of religious dogma. I submit that it is not a good thing. As will be proven in November, among other events. In short, you guys are criminally clueless.

As more republicans go to support a third party rather than the Mormon, this will help Obama win his second term. Republicans have screwed up a golden opportunity to reclaim the WH.
