Something I Don't Get...
7even:
the thing is the voter turnout wasnt that much higher, like 10 percent or so, and also I dont see how ppl who havent voted last election would rather elect bush now.. but well we already had this higher voter turnout argument here, and like then, I dont think this was the main factor
Rampant:
Because alot of people like what bush stands for.
1) They dont agree that killing 4,000 babies in abortions is right
2) they dont believe that gay people should be able to get married.
that and they believe overall bush could do a better job in things like terrorism.

I'm starting to think that maybe a diagram will help 7even understand things. I will try to make myself familiar with this paint program, and see if I can start drawing things to help him.

dont you get that not having the same opinion us you doesnt make someone misunderstanding something? I get what you are thinkin, I just dont think it's accurate. you see the difference.
Trauma-san:
^^^ Americans don't vote. It's the cool thing to not do.
HOWEVER, to a conservative...... if we're getting bombed, we're in the middle of two wars, we have our president getting attacked by everyone from Dan Rather to Osama Bin Ladin.......... then we'll get off our ass and be waiting at the polling booth @ 5 A.M. if that's what it takes.
So what was apathy turned into stalwart support, much of this turnout was the result of Republican Conservatives feeling they had the opportunity to send a message.
Democrats are much more likely to vote...... so there weren't as many of them to convince to vote, that weren't already voting anyways. So the Conservatives had a much deeper army of people that were lazy than the Dems did.
Look @ the map. ALL OF the center of the country, and all of the south, voted Bush. This is the heartland, the heart of America, and those are the people who Bush was able to connect to, and get motivated to vote.
