« Ohio Looks Shaky if You Look At the Polls. If You Look At Actual Votes, It Looks Better. | Main | Bloomberg: Let's Go Forward With The Marathon So People Without Homes, Power, Warmth, or Food Will Have Something To Cheer About » November 02, 2012
Is There a Hidden Conservative Vote Lurking Out There?I've been resisting this notion, but Obama drew out new voters, didn't he? So why shouldn't it be that this election we'll see some of our own new voters? I keep thinking about the Night of the Living Dead in Ohio in 2004. Kerry thought he had won Ohio -- but then the returns came in from the Bush counties. And came in. And came in. And came in. A storm of unexpected Republican votes just kept coming in, first equaling his tally from the cities, then surpassing it. Liberals called it The Night of the Living Dead, because the zombies -- eh, I'll take it; we determined and plain of purpose -- just kept marching in to the polls. Daniel Henninger thinks evangelicals might make their might known on November 6. Back in April, the policy director of the Southern Baptist Convention, Richard Land, predicted that evangelicals in time would coalesce behind Mitt Romney. Yesterday he endorsed Mr. Romney, the first time he has done so for any presidential candidate. Ben Domenech coins a term -- I think he coins it -- an "undertow election." Unlike a wave, you aren't aware of the the undertow until it grabs you by the ankle and pulls you down. [A]s much as I question their strategic minds, it's been clear from day one that Romney's operational prowess is second to none, and getting out the vote isn't a question of strategy but operation. Even given that the state Republican parties are shouldering much of this effort, and even given all the advantages Team Obama was likely to have in that arena, if Team Romney could end up close to matching them in this respect, we could be looking at an undertow election like none we've seen before. This would reflect not so much a groundswell as a cave-in, one where independents did not shift to Romney but away from Obama, where the bottom truly drops out of the Obama effort, and the story the left focuses on for the next year is why in the world those people stayed home. Michael Barone sees Romney playing well in affluent suburbs of the midwest better than any other Republican candidate within the past twenty years. Cultural affinity is important; a lot of northerners or midwesterners didn't like Bush simply because of his southern/Texas identity. The same reason a lot of southern conservatives were suspicious of Romney -- he seemed of a different culture -- is the same reason suburbanites in Pennsylvania and Ohio (and Minnesota, and Michigan) might give him a whirl. The only way Pennsylvania and Michigan can be close is if Obama's support in affluent Philadelphia and Detroit suburbs has melted away. Rasmussen Ohio: 49-49. | Recent Comments
