67. Michael Moore knows that unemployed people vote....and

Aug 2012

underemployed people vote, and unhappy people vote, and religious people vote, and rich and well-off people vote.

College students: not so much. Elderly poor: not so much. Black folks who have not paid their parking fine, or have lost their ID, or who don't have an ID, not so much. Arrogant liberals in "BLUE" states, not so much.

Although it is POSSIBLE for Obama to be re-elected, 3 key swing states are actively working to keep people from voting, period: Florida, PA, and OH. Without one or two of those states for Obama, it's OVER, Mitt is the President. It's that simple. Republicans know what they are doing, and most Dems haven't woken up yet.
