Republican voter suppression laws (welcome back Jim Crow) along with the targeting and destruction of voter registration groups like Acorn have paid off.

No surprise.

Yeah right, Acorn. My father voted Republican in every election up until the day he died. Now he votes Democrat thanks to Acorn.

Were it not for Acorn, your dad would have gone to perish in hell. But thanks to Acorn, he is now inspired in heaven. So be thankful.

Except that Acorn only reanimated dead people to be Democrat zombies.

Oh, like Jesus did right after he was crucified?

I wonder how many of the indies are libertarians? I believe the latter group has also grown significantly over the past ten years or so, thanks to increased attention in the media (i.e. John Stossel and Penn Jilette) and increase exposure in the media (Libertarian bloggers and youtubers).

A number of months back, a statistic was floated that all presidents who have been up for re-election during a time when, if I recall correctly, the rate of unemployment was as high as it was at that time, had gone on to defeat at the end of their first term. Regardless of the causes, the economy, housing and unemployment situation hasn't seen a compelling resurrection under Obama. Right or wrong, when people are suffering, have suffered, and don't see things turning around, they blame the present administration, and notably its head, the president. I find it quite believable that there may be a lot of disaffected Democrats out there. If so, the question is not so much "whether," but rather, "how much." I don't personally believe there's enough swing from, and enough strength on the Republican ticket, to cash that out in terms of a win, but it quite possibly could make the race more interesting than it would be otherwise.

The republican party scare me, they seem to be putting crazier and crazier people into office.

From Europe we watch in horrified fascination as a parade of incompetent blowhards are touted as the "Future leaders of the free world".
