Who do you think is the most likely voter to sit out the 2008 election?

Poll question: Who do you think is the most likely voter to sit out the 2008 election?

This will take some thinking, perhaps....

I didn't include Conservative Democrats or Liberal Republicans because a) there may not be enough of either of them left to make a difference, and b) when in doubt, they'd probably just vote for the other party instead of switching. I'm open to suggestions, though.

1. Consevative Republicans

I think many Republicans are thinking they are toast in '08.

5. I think the David Kuo revelation will sting for some time

He says some of the nation’s most prominent evangelical leaders were known in the office of presidential political strategist Karl Rove as “the nuts.”

“National Christian leaders received hugs and smiles in person and then were dismissed behind their backs and described as ‘ridiculous,’ ‘out of control,’ and just plain ‘goofy,’” Kuo writes.

Book says Bush just using Christians
‘Tempting Faith’ author David Kuo worked for Bush from 2001 to 2003

Rove made a big deal out of fundies staying home during election 2000 that he courted their vote for 2004. But now we find out the fundies were being played for chumps. I don't think fundies will forget this...

4. fwiw, I think traditional repubs will try to find a moderate dem...

and see if they can get the party back from the right-wing whackjobs who have hijacked it. Maybe they (the "legacy" Rs) can contribute to a slight leftward shift to help balance us.

The guns, god and gays clowns will be whipped in to a frenzy as usual and will pull even harder the other way, though.

The two ends of the R party are speeding away from each other...perhaps they'll just rip apart, splitting the vote and losing for the next several cycles!

3. The Religious Reich

I think they're taking the advice of the guy who wrote that tell-all about the "Office of Faith-Based Initiatives" and taking a breather from politics. Still reeling from scandals surrounding their darlings (DeLay, Ted Haggard, et al.).

6. Sorry BC.. I don't care for the poll because......

... our lurking freepnoids are going to select the first selection and everyone here knows it.

That's like saying that every liberal Democrat in Pennsylvania sat out the election because Bob Casey was the nominee... I don't think so..

..like saying every liberal Democrat in Montana sat out the election because Jon Tester was the nominee.. I don't think so..

..like saying every liberal Democrat in Virginia sat out the election because Jim Webb was the nominee.. I don't think so..

..like saying each term that Governor Dean won in Vermont was done without the help of liberal Democrats because he was a moderate who the NRA consistently endorsed.. I don't think so..

It's like saying that liberal Democrats sat out voting for Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, etc. because of their (one time or current -- who knows) affiliation with the DLC.. I don't think so..

(This list could go on for PAGES and PAGES, but you get the point)

The FACT is.. regardless of how divided Democrats may be during primaries -- --- they ultimately come together to support the nominee - whether that candidate is liberal, moderate, or somewhere inbetween.


Freepnoids love selecting answers like that because it's so incredibly off-target from reality, it's right up their alley.

7. Everybody MUST vote.

Even if it is just to honour the people that spilt an ocean of blood
to achieve this most sacred right and privilege.
