12. Don't forget--the Republican candidate gets 42% of the vote even if they nominate Joe The Plumber

A huge number of voters will automatically vote Republican, no matter if their nominee is Romney or Porky Pig.
It will make NO DIFFERENCE.


They will vote how Fox Noise and National Hate Radio tell them to vote. Period. And they are NOT the ones who
are being targeted by voter disenfranchisement moves by Republicans or fraudulent programming by electronic
voting machines built, programmed, and verified exclusively by Republicans.

Ask them why they would prefer Porky Pig over Barack Obama, and they'll spew out some packaged nonsense
about taxes, God, Islam, "the birth certificate," Hispanic immigrants, WHATEVER.

This is what Obama (and America) is up against. Many fights that deserve to be won are still lost. This is one we
dare not get complacent about. Just because common sense says Obama should win this in a cakewalk does not
mean common sense will play a huge role here. It sure as hell won't play a role for those planning to vote for the
Republican ticket, and there will be tens of millions of them.
