Crabby Old Man writes about what happens when conservatives fail to unite behind a candidate.
1992: Bill Clinton, Democrat, 44,909,806 (43.0%)
George H.W. Bush, Republican, 39,104,550 (37.5%)
Ross Perot, Independent, 19,743,821 (18.9%)
And then there were the November 6, 2012 Presidential Election Results:
Barack Obama, Democrat, 65,899,660 (51.1%)
Mitt Romney, Republican, 60,932,152 (47.2%) (3.9% loss)
Some farmer math:
2008 turnout 61.6% - 2012 turnout 58.2% = 3.4% difference
3.4% + 58.2% = 61.6% (tie?) (higher turnout = win??)
