See that? Only 39 million votes in 2010. Sorry, but that couldn't ALL have been middle-of-the-road Indie voters. There were definitely some Firebagger-types amongst the absentees as well; in fact, they practically tipped the scales in that regard. If it hadn't been for Hamsher, Greenwald and company bashing the Prez left and right, we'd had had a better chance, and certainly wouldn't have been out numbered by the Repubs, either. The Emoprogs in the AltMedia have a LOT of explaining to do.
