getting the uppity negro out of the White House. If it looks like there's a chance of that happening, they'll crawl across broken glass to vote. If it looks like it's NOT likely to happen, a lot of them won't bother. Mainly because the Tea Party fanatics must be incredibly disappointed by now with the gang of gorillas they sent to Washington in 2010 with the express purpose of dismantling government, and ended up accomplishing absolutely nothing.

The only reason those people would turn out to vote with the knowledge that Obama is going to win anyway, is if they still think that Republicans in the House are going to change everything. There's already evidence that they don't really want to.

That's also why partisan polling organizations like Rasmussen are working so hard to diminish Obama's apparent lead. To avoid having Obama ahead by too big a margin, when, in fact, the obsession with defeating Obama is the only thing driving half the GOP voters.
