BINGO!
Now you are getting it!
It's the 30/100 70/40 rule of US politics.
The gop consists of 30% of the population, but they vote 100% of the time.
The rest of the country 70% only votes 40% the time....at best!
Hence why little baby bush won by 2% these past to elections. The rest of the country just didn't come out to vote, they assumed that Gore was going to win, they assumed Kerry was going to win, they assumed some one was going to vote for them....and in the end no one did.
So Obama's guys got worried. And why his handlers sent him off on vacation.
They want him to fall behind in the poles they want his base to feel insecure.
And in doing so will assure that people will go and vote.
