I Seriously Don't Believe Massive Amounts of R's

[Le Taz Hot]

will turn out for Romney. With the exception of the R Party Faithful, I don't see any enthusiasm. I see a lot of "voting for the lesser of two evils" and a lot of R's sort of looking down and shuffling their feet when asked about voting for Romney. I've seen almost no bumper stickers/signs for Romney and I live in a red area of CA (though not as red as some would believe). I've read here on DU about some fundamentalist sects doing a write-in for "Jesus." RimJob is even anti-Romney. Look, too many of the R's are extremists, either in religion or economics or both. Romeny's flip-flopped too many times for them and they just don't trust him. I just don't see this election as being NEARLY as close as the MSM would have us believe. I dunno. Just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth = $0.02.

1. Yeah, I really don't think folks wait in line seven hours to vote Romney!

[Chiquitita]

2. I hope you are correct.

I have yet to meet an enthusiastic Romney supporter. I knew a few Ron Paul people, but who is really fired up about R?

3. Reports are that there is lot of enthusiasm AGAINST Obama. Yes, they'll turn out.

They may not like Rmoney, but that doesn't matter. Republicans are more reliable voters, to start with. Add the hatred for Obama, and you've got a big turnout for them.

But we've got enthusiasm on our side, too.

9. This is also true.

They hated Clinton but they REALLY hate Obama. Wonder why that is.

12. i have a friend and co-worker

who refuses to believe it's racism. give me another reason, then.

13. Yea, alot of the Rs are more Anti-Obama then Pro-Romney

Alot of my Republican friends on FB don't like Romney. Their vote is against Obama. I've had long debates with them providing facts and whatever but they aren't swayed. I ended up loosing friends over this election. Their anger towards Obama is weird.

They'll say something like, "I really don't like Romney, but Obama's policies are wrecking the country." Even when I counter their BS with facts they come back with name calling. I think there are racial reasons when it gets to that point and unfortunately racism has increased from 50 to 54 percent since Obama took office.

I don't think alot of R's like Romney. The guy has been running for President for 7 years. I think Romney is their excuse to get Obama out.

Now how many of them are out there, I have no clue.

5. The fundies always get their turnout...

They've got an entire network of bible-thumping preachers screaming fire and brimstone from the pulpits, telling their fundie parishioners they'll go to Hell if they vote Democratic.

The fundies always come out, unfortunately.

The good news is that our GOTV ground game will still beat them!

6. I know two

registered republicans as friends. Both are voting today. Neither one would seriously consider voting for Romney. One likes President Obama quite a bit; the other wishes that President Obama would be much more forceful in exposing the anti-American republican party leaders' agenda. Both are voting for President Obama.

More, both assure me that a substantial number of republicans -- especially republican women -- will be voting for President Obama today.

11. I suspect that a few I know will be voting for Obama, as well.

One is a 40-something female, and I think she may be fed-up will all of the rape shit.

I was looking at a sample ballot last night, and noticed that they listed Slick Willard first, followed by the Libertarian, and the President. It was the same down ballot, too. It pissed me off at first, but this is a very red district. My hope is that all of the Mormon-hating fundies here, and the few moderate republicans left, will see the Libertarian and vote for him. I would rather they voted for President Obama, but that isn't going to happen. So, I'd rather they vote third party.

7. It's All He Got...Willard Never Cracked Over 45%...

...in most polls and, except for crimson red states doesn't hit 50% in any of the key battleground states...never has. The only game plan the rushpublicans have is voter suppression...scare Democratic voters away with long lines and try to depress the numbers. It's the only way rushpublicans can win on a national level and it looks like that's not gonna happen. Willard's support is a mile wide and an inch thick...while there are some who can't wait to vote today, there's a large "soft middle" who may want to vote for Willard but sure won't hop on a church bus or wait in long lines to vote for him.

I don't mind the corporate media saying it's "too close to call"...hopefully that keeps our side fired up and motivated. I'd rather laugh later at a blowout than end up with that deep pit in my stomach (memories of 2004)...

Cheers...

8. East TX (Dist 5) not too enthusiastic for Romney

This is deep t party, red neck, bible belt, hunting territory. A few Romney signs and bumper stickers here and there. But way not even close to the McCain/Palin signage of 4 yrs ago. Romney will win here, but I'll bet some 3rd party candidates (Johnson maybe?) will slice into the GOP totals. The know that Romney is a lieing POS, but they'll hold their nose to get that black guy out of the "white" house.

10. I don't see the enthusiasm for him.

Outside of yard signs, there's next to nothing. Not signs long major arteries and very few, is any bumper stickers.

I think they will vote by not voting.

14. I just keep thinking about all the times Rmoney had to bus in supporters to rallies & other events.

The only jobs he's really ever created were stooges. No offense to Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp.
