Parties’ ‘no-show’ problem (Salena Zito)

triblive  via Free Republic

excerpts:

  • “What is interesting is that Romney did not have a problem with suburban voters,” said Brown.
  • ...the problem points to the rural voter just not showing up.”
  • But the substantial dive in white-voter participation for both presidential candidates is clearly a concern that each party’s establishment needs to review.
Comment:

There was something yesterday in a blog which seems to be appropriate in mentioning here.  In the UK, it was said that the Conservative party is dying out.  Then it was said that the Conservative Party punishes the very people who vote for them.  Therein lies the problem, I think.  The Republicans seem to be a lot like the Conservatives in the UK.  They'll keep on punishing the very people who support them until they no longer have any supporters at all.  Then the party will disappear eventually.

Now, if the problem for Romney is that a lot of white folks didn't show up for him, it holds a lot of credibility with me.  For I considered not voting myself.

By the way, Romney didn't win any of the big city counties in Texas.  This is a red state.  Something ominous there if the Republicans are paying attention.   But they are, yet they continually come up with the wrong solutions.
