Principle wins no elections. The arrogance of one's principle, while noble, wins no elections either. It could affect them to some extent, admittedly.
The candidate capable of garnering over 100 million votes wins elections.
In our lifetime, principled voters will not affect that reality.
I disagree counselor the principled voter who stayed home in
2010 did influence the out come , very much so, just not the out come they wanted. Cheers NC
Both you guys need to get your dates and numbers right.
In the 2012 election Obama got just under 66 million votes and Romney just under 61 million.
That is where the 5 million conservative votes that Romney needed in the closest swing states number comes from.
