In reply to the discussion: STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Thursday, 30 August 2012 [View all]AnneD
(15,774 posts)60. This is the point I keep trying to emphasise...
all the electoral maps that show Obama ahead don't mean squat if he cannot turn out the vote. His corporate cabinet choices, his poor negotiation skills, and the lack of any substantial leadership on his part while the middle class is being robbed and beaten senseless have turned off most folks that voted for him the last time. Fear of the other candidate doesn't fire people up and get them to the polls. But hey, what do I know...I only cut my teeth on elections since childhood, politics is a blood sport at family gatherings, and I have performed every duty in a campaign short of being on the ticket.
