In the past 5 presidential elections the avg turnout for the voting-age population has been 53.3%!...With approx 1/2 of eligible voters bothering to vote for president, and with a concerted effort on the part of the Repub party to make it difficult for some voters to vote in 2012 and 14 million Americans out of work, it is conceivable a teabagger darling promising to "grow jobs" could become president - a very scary thought!
