Undecideds Vote For The Percieved Winner- Bandwagon Effect |
|
People who are uniformed enough at this point not to know who they are voting for WILL be voting for whom they believe is going to be the winner.
Even if they don't do this consciously.
It is important to project Confident Expectation right now.
People don't want a whiff of "Loser" on their candidate.
And nothing says "Loser" more than Rove being in front of the cameras pretending to be madcap.
The number of people, and especially Democrats, who would stay home tomorrow is very small.
I have yet to hear ANYONE say GOTV is UN-important.
And with the number of Democratic volunteers and staffers working on the ground... the claim Democrats stayed home cause some people said the word "Landslide" and decided to coast to victory would be easily debunked.

with the bad weather, will stay home tomorrow, deciding that it's not worth standing out in the rain for 5 hours to cast a ballot for a candidate you're not 100% sure about.
