After Debates, It's All About Voter Turnout for John McCain and Barack Obama

Reader Comments

But voter turnout doesn't mean election.

Note that voter turnout favored the loser in the last two elections.

It's those electors that nobody votes for or even knows how they get the power to decide--plus the now precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in State proceedings to decide who wins the elections.

In the manner of Tiny Tim, good luck and God bless us all.
