[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure who these "angry white guys" are that you refer to, but I doubt any conservative who wants someone even more conservative than Romney would ever even consider for a moment voting for Obama, just like no liberal on planet earth would consider voting for Romney.

I do agree that there is some group of swing voters out there for grabs, but from my just talking to locals around here it seems to be mostly white female voters who voted Republican in the past but then went Obama in 2008.  And from what I'm hearing, they will still vote for Obama again.  [/quote]

The issue with the base is not that they would vote for Obama.  It is that they would not be sufficiently motivated to get out to the polls.  Any number of things can come up that keeps a person from making it to the polls.  But if 5% of your core constituency doesn't bother voting because they are not quite as enthusiastic/ willing to stand in the rain or drag the kids to the polling station, then you take a real hit on election day.
