You're saying 80% of America switches back and forth from election to election?
No, I'm saying 80% looks at the candidates and typically comes to about same conclusion.
I respectfully disagree. And both your state and mine (MN) will go blue next election just to prove it (people tend to stick to one voting preference regardless of the candidate). I guaran-damn-tee it. I know more people who vote consistently D or R and always have and always will, by a 20-to-1 margin, than I do those who switch camps.
If one party is consistently more in tune with their thinking, that party will consistently win their votes. But that doesn't mean that those people would be safe voters for a fringe candidate from the party they usually vote for.
