Yup, GOP GOTV is pretty amazing. But, when you raise your kids by homeschooling and ship them out to work on campaigns in order to win scholarships and prizes, send them to Christian colleges, and send them to DC to serve as pages for perverted congressmen, it’s not too surprising.
All the Republicans care about is winning and power. Actually governing, winning a war, taking care of people? Not so much. Except for those who give them big campaign contributions, of course.

Now, though, Democrats are the ones playing catch-up when it comes to the mechanics of Election Day. Every Monday, überstrategist Karl Rove and Republican Party officials on Capitol Hill get spreadsheets tallying the numbers of voters registered, volunteers recruited, doors knocked on and phone numbers dialed for 40 House campaigns and a dozen Senate races. Over the next few weeks, the party will begin flying experienced paid and volunteer workers into states for the final push. The Senate Republicans’ campaign committee calls its agents special teams, led by marshals, all in the service of the partywide effort known as the 72-Hour Task Force because its working philosophy initially focused on the final three days before an election.
