That's what I've been saying about the 2010 elections, "the loud voices of the idiotic minority is all that will be heard...and is how we will all be judged."
Isn't that what happened with a low turnout election, less than 19% of the voters decide for the rest of the voting populace. Not voting to me is about the worst possible choice to make. You're letting your choice be made by others, who most likely will not have your or the nation's interests at heart. >Larry has a good point and his numbers are all valid.....but......NOT voting >is a choice, too, one way too many Americans make all to often.
