Skip to comments.GOP turnout: myths and reality
Posted on 11/23/2012 9:24:41 AM PST by SeekAndFind
In the immediate aftermath of the election, Republicans slammed Mitt Romney for not being able to match the popular vote totals of John McCain, but many forgot that the full totals in the popular vote take a few weeks to finalize. This past week, Romney's totals surpassed McCain's in an election that had a smaller overall turnout, Kimberly Strassel reports for the Wall Street Journal --- and Romney did significantly better in swing states than the GOP did in 2008 as well (via Scott Johnson at Power Line):
Mr. Romney beat Mr. McCain's numbers in every single battleground, save Ohio. In some cases, his improvement was significant. In Virginia, 65,000 more votes than in 2008. In Florida, 117,000 more votes. In Colorado, 52,000. In Wisconsin, 146,000. Moreover, in key states like Florida, North Carolina, Colorado and Virginia, Mr. Romney turned out even more voters than George W. Bush did in his successful re-election in 2004.
By contrast, Mr. Obama's turnout was down from 2008 in nearly every battleground. He lost 54,000 votes in Virginia, 46,000 votes in Florida, 50,000 votes in Colorado, 63,000 votes in Wisconsin. Ditto Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio. The only state where Mr. Obama increased his votes (by 36,000) was North Carolina, and he was still beaten by a Romney campaign that raised its own turnout by a whopping 147,000.
The notion of an enthusiasm gap among Republicans compared to 2008 is therefore a myth, one suggested by incomplete data the day after the election. So what happened? Did Romney just run out of time, or was Obama's downturn just short of bad enough to lose? Not exactly, Strassel argues. The demographic data shows that Democrats boosted voter turnout where it counted, and where Republicans didn't bother to seriously compete:
Because what ought to scare the GOP is this: Even with higher GOP turnout in key states, even with Mr. Obama shedding voters, Democrats still won. Mr. Obama accomplished this by tapping new minority voters in numbers that beat even Mr. Romney's better turnout.
In Florida, 238,000 more Hispanics voted than in 2008, and Mr. Obama got 60% of Hispanic voters. His total margin of victory in Florida was 78,000 votes, so that demographic alone won it for him. Or consider Ohio, where Mr. Romney won independents by 10 points. The lead mattered little, though, given that black turnout increased by 178,000 votes, and the president won 96% of the black vote. Mr. Obama's margin of victory there was 103,000. …
Republicans right now are fretting about Mr. Romney's failures and the party's immigration platformthat's fair enough. But equally important has been the party's mind-boggling failure to institute a competitive Hispanic ground game. The GOP doesn't campaign in those communities, doesn't register voters there, doesn't knock on doors. So while pre-election polling showed that Hispanics were worried about Obama policies, in the end the only campaign that these voters heard fromby email, at their door, on the phonewas the president's.
In order to win national elections, Republicans have to compete in all communities. That doesn't mean pandering, but it does mean putting free-market, small-government philosophies and slogans into concrete policy proposals that will improve the lives of voters. It's not enough to talk about empowering investors to take risk in the American economy; we need to talk about how we can encourage that investment to go into urban centers to revitalize neighborhoods and create jobs. We need to commit to school choice and educational reform, in combination with a shift in control away from federal mandates (and the costly administration they require) to the local school boards and parents. We have to have specific policy proposals on the table and the commitment to follow through on them.
Until we remember what Jack Kemp figured out two decades ago, we will never compete for those votes, and end up with a massive handicap in national elections.
Stolen birth certificate, Stolen social security numbers, STOLEN election.
WTF are our Republican governors and Sec of State?
Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Penn, etc....
Thanks for setting the record straight. Romney DID do better than John McCain, and GOP enthusiasm was definitely there. No doubt.
But we need to do more analysis on the MASSIVE CHEATING AND VOTER FRAUD which occurred especially in OH, PA,VA, FL, and CO where it is now well documented.
Romney could have received 70% of the popular vote and still would have lost. The DemocRATS are now the vote counters. "Those who vote decide nothing. THOSE WHO COUNT THE VOTES..."
From 2011 census figured, I estimate there are 1.1 million blacks of voting age in Ohio - and the Obama campaign was able to drive roughly ten percent of the total black voters to the polls that did not vote in 2008. So we are supposed to believe that there were so many black voters that stayed home in 2008 when previously given the chance to vote for a black president?
This reeks of voter fraud.
Or they all got obamaphones and were sent text messages or reminded to vote by said obamaphone?
Sadly we will probably never know the magnitude of Black disaffection with Bathhouse Barry and his support of gay marriage etc. The Dem party operatives voted in place of the Black population.
We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America.
Thats what people fail to understand.

Col West has opened the door.
Its now up to We The People.
Polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.
Mitt Romney knew he had won, too, when he got off that plane unannounced and there were thousands in a parking garage across the way cheering him, and he put his hand over his heart and said,'That is how you know you've won'.
The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.
Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.
Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.
So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?
Massive voter fraud.
There are massive reports of criminal activity
(not mischief, not shenanigans, as many term the fraud- but CRIMINAL ACTIVITY) going on all over the U.S during the presidential election.
Reports of machines changing votes from Romney to Obama, eyewitness reports of Republican poll watchers who observed busloads of non-English speaking Somalians in Ohio being instructed to vote Obama- the list is endless.
Romney lost because of this, not any other reason.
Nobody could have won against the fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama Machine.
The evidence is overwhelming!

Does it really matter about who got what between McCain and Romney? They were both garbage nominees.
The only part of the electorate that Romney couldn't make any headway whatsoever was the Stupid Vote (exit polls indicate he got 0.0000% of the stupid vote).
Thank you.
The Democrats did just not get their people to the polls in high numbers, but in doing so they intentionally created situations where there would be long lines at swing state polling stations which made the process too unpleasant and time comsummg for those who may have voted for Romney.
Do not believe for a second that the long lines to vote were unintentional and do not believe that they are not forms of voter intimidation and a mechanism to suppress the Romney vote.
When people find solace in the similarity of the numbers of 2012 to 2008, then we are really in trouble, and the Romney/rino voices are truly the loudest still.
2008 was an election impossible to win.
2012 was an election impossible to lose.
Yet the Romney/rino crowd are comparing them as though Romney was not a disaster of historic proportions.
Did anyone really expect 0bama to leave office? Not me. Did anyone really think Axelrod would shave his mustache? Hell no. He knew 0bama was going to win, because Axelrod was the fraud orchestrator with the Unions, the black panthers, ACORN and the 'U.N. poll monitors'.
The MOST disgusting evil facing America before, during and after the election is THE MAJOR MEDIA. There could be a MILLION SCREAMS OF VOTER FRAUD, and.. Would they cover it? HELL NO!!! So, if the media doesn't cover it, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, and that's where we are right now. Completely ignorant of how bad the fraud was because the media won't tell us so as to protect their evil Satan.
Now, if we could put to bed the myth of the stolen election, that pops up every time a serious person tries to seriously discuss how to win elections, even on this thread.
thank you
There is a severe disconnect between how Hispanics live their lives and their support of candidates who work to undermine their way of life.
I believe that hispanics who voted for Obama did so, not because they secretly believe the same things he does, but they voted for Obama because the messages they were hearing was that Republicans are out to get them and do harm to their way of life. They were not hearing anything from us, so it was very easy for them to believe that we are the bad guys.
How do we counter this? By opening a dialogue with them that proves that everything that is written in the Republican platform supports their ideals toward life and liberty.
Obama does not support life or liberty. We need to stand up and get counted for what we do believe. Republicans make the mistake in thinking that the only things that concern Hispanics are their legal status.
They are pro-life and pro-business. We should begin our dialogue on those points.
See my post at #22.
There were quite a number of stupid people I don't consider liberal who voted against Romney because he was "against women" or "a liar". The mailboxes full of fliers (several a day) didn't help. The majority of ads on the radio were against us, e.g. Planned Parenthood running their anti-Romney ad every 10 minutes on the country music station. Many of the ads on our side sucked like the RSC ad against Kaine, it was ridiculous.
Under 70% of the eligible voters are registered. Of that amount about 80% voted in 2008.
So, in 2008, of the eligible population of voters, there were 80 million that didn't vote. That amount is spread fairly evenly across all population groups.
In 2008, Ohio had a voting age population of 8.5 million, of which 5.7 million voted. So almost 3 million voting age Ohioans didn't vote. U.S. Voter Participation 1990-2010
(NOTE: Oddly, in this link they keep saying that 145 million divided by 217 million is 79%, but it's 68%)
2008 vote NEARLY erased racial gap explains how, in 2008, and increase in black turnout brought their voting average to about 65%, which was ALMOST up to the overall population. So even in 2008, blacks didn't vote at a higher rate than the general population, and about 35% of eligible black voters did not vote.
In 2008, blacks were 11% of the vote in Ohio, or about 616,000; 97% voted for Obama.
So, could blacks have increased from 616,000 to 800,000? That's a big move, but would reflect a registration increase of about 20%.
So, while I think it is possible, and certainly easy enough to get a lot more new voters to the polls, including new 18-year-olds, I do agree that 178,000 new black voters in Ohio seems like a stretch.
I'd be curious where that specific number comes from.
I will say that comparing CNN 2008 and 2012 numbers, they suggest that black turnout in Ohio increased from 11% of the total to 15% of the total. 11% of the 2008 total was 616,000. 14% of the 2012 total would be 740,000, so the difference would be 124,000, not 178,000. Of course, that is based on a lower total turnout in Ohio in 2012 from 2008, and the numbers are still increasing for the state as they count more of the votes.
The big thing though to note is that this statement you made : So we are supposed to believe that there were so many black voters that stayed home in 2008 when previously given the chance to vote for a black president?
The answer is yes, the 2008 numbers show that even with the historic black candidate, blacks only managed to get their turnout up to the average for the entire population.
And in the past 4 years, Obama was able to increase that turnout even more, as he used every power available to the President to target that demographic and others.
Consider that the black birth rate for teen mothers was about 10% in 1990.
So, if you are interested in real information, you should take this post as you would a wikipedia entry, and do your own study.
For example, polls showed that Obama would win the election. Col Allen West has conceded his race, the economy is nowhere near depression era, that is a liberal talking point Obama used to excuse his performance, Unemployment is definitely high but was dropping leading up to the election, and most voters are employed, and most who aren't are solid democrat constituencies anyway. Plus, Romney never really explained how he'd fix the unemployment for the disaffected democrats, who Obama effectively convinced that Romney was just a rich white guy who didn't care about them.
The economic election predictors had turned toward Obama in the end of the campaign as well, barely but certainly not the clear "no incumbent wins" type of election.
Thus, when the poster says "So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?", unfortunately that statement is a false, unfounded assertion, and thus the rest of the argument fails.
But don't try to give facts to that poster, he doesn't want to read them, and would prefer to resort to childish name-calling.
Not when you take population growth into account. Take McCain, adjust for population growth and his numbers are still better than Mitt's.
The truth is that he ran a terrible campaign, so let's stop making excuses for Mitt's loss.
I see the obamavoterfraud site still has "BREAKING: St. Lucie County, Florida Had 141.1% Turnout; Obama Won County (FL)" in their list. Actually St. Lucie had 70% turnout. It is pretty easy to look up. The claim of 141% comes from a fake listing by some random anonymous idiot commenting on some website. With obvious junk like that, there's no reason to believe any of the rest of it.
They cheated - but it was our fault that it was close enough for the cheating to matter.
Many people are grasping at straws and still cant accept reality.
The voter fraud arguments have taken on a birth certificate quality. There are such obvious errors in it that it is hard to take any of it seriously. There is in fact serious fraud in places like Philly were 56 divisions with an average of 400 voters in each of them managed perfect Obama scores. That's out of the 1700 in the city and a lot of those are 100% black (so they had hundreds of chances to try for a perfect score). IMO, the only way they could get a perfect score with no mistakes is by kicking out observers and doing some sort of coaching or outright proxy voting.
Just to report an observation I had during the first Clinton election -
I was working a project in an urban inner city area around gov't housing projects. The apathy of the work ethic was evident. But come election day, driving by a polling precinct, I was amazed at how active it was. It's a shame that the same energy could not be applied to working hard at earning money via a legitimate job. I believe there was some fraud, but most likely it has now come down to you really can't run against Santa Claus.
It's a long tradition here to vent on issues like Obama's birth certificate games. Although they are a distraction they don't impede other serious discussion. The likelihood of fraud in some places like Philly still needs to be addressed.
No true Conservative or even Republican would get so spastic over a factual post about voter fraud.
Spoken like a true Lib
During 2012 here in Cleveland, a morning drive time radio program, heard widely across the state, was besieged constantly by the DNC offering spokespersons to be interviewed. The morning host said, after the election, hardly a day went by they couldn't have had a democrat guest to be interviewed.
Despite repeated calls to the Romney campaign to provide people to balance the program (this is a fairly conservative host), they never heard back from them. Ever. Not one national republican was made available for an interview on a widely listened to radio broadcast in a key swing state.
I don't doubt the GOP failed to try to get Hispanic votes--They didn't even try to get white ones in Cleveland.
Fraud, maybe, some, but the bottom line from 2008 and 2012 as well, is that professional republicans are big on money-getting but just halfhearted, half-assed campaigners.
"GOP turnout: myths and reality (Romney beat McCains numbers in almost all single battleground)"
So what? One RINO barely beat another one.
The only vote that counted was Romney vs Obama and even though Obama had significantly fewer voters, presided over an 8% unemployment rate for an extended period of time, lost the first debate horrendously, has crony socialism scandals abound, had the simmering Benghazi scandal surrounding him, Romney still couldn't win.
If you want to claim election fraud, prove it. Until it is definitively proven or shut down, it will continue. It will probably get worse.
Yep pretty easy to blow that one out of the water with facts but some don't seem to want to acknowledge them. The West fiasco was largely his and no one elses. Had he worked harder on his GOTV effort in the GOP county of Martin and got more votes there he'd have won the 18th and St. Lucie wouldn't have been discussed. West lost the CD by some 1900 votes and he failed in Martin, not St. Lucie, imo.
West Murphy St Lucie 52,672 (44.5%) 65,567 (55.4%) Palm Beach 68,348 (50.1%) 68,158 (49.9%) Martin 43,333 (57.1%) 32,532 (42.9%) Romney won by 18,083 votesClick
You probably think Team 0bama has nothing to do with the current assault on the private sector by Unions right now either. Him meeting with union bosses immediately following his theft of the election is just another coincidence. I don't think you realize just how vile and despicable Team 0bama is. You don't know just how evil this demon is because you seem to think 0bama would have nothing to do with stealing an election. He STOLE deceased baby Virginia Sunahara's birth certificate and called it his own (HE CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER HIS OWN BIRTH DATE BECAUSE HE'S USING HER BIRTH DATE NOT HIS), his social security number originating in CT is just an anomaly, and his selective service card date stamp error is just an anomaly. Just a bunch of anomalies.. WRONG. IT'S ALL FRAUD. Anyone on FR who ascribes 'integrity' to 0bama simply doesn't 'know' him. Team 0bama are experts at Saul Alinsky tactics.. Rules for Radicals is their game. Allowing an election to take its course without nefarious intervention IS COMPLETELY FOREIGN TO THEM.
It appears that voter fraud could be stanched effectively by doing this nationally.
The congressional districts which represent the noteworthy bastions of fraud like Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, etc. would only potentiate their fraud in the district in which the bastion resides without diluting the electoral turnout in more honest voting congressional districts.
Would like to see a calculation of electoral votes on the basis of this allocation model.
EV allocation would go like this: Say for instance, most of California EV's would go to Obama but not all. Most of Texas EV's would go to Romney but not all. Re-allocate throughout the US. On balance, I suspect we'd get more EV's from states Obama won than Obama would get EV's from states Romney won.
How to wrest victory from defeat:
I suspect Romney would win if even just the swing states allocated their EV's.
Or maybe if the 23 states that have (R) governors and legislatures met in emergency sessions and passed allocation before EV's are counted on Dec 17, we might win this thing after all?
We own these Governors and Legislatures: ME, MI, IN, OH PA, TN SC, GA, AL, MI, FL, LA, TX, OK, KS, ND, SD, WY, ID, UT, AZ ,P> FReegards!
Only Obama can get away with his lies. His birth certificate is an obvious fraud and he even confirmed this lie with his companion bio for his first book. It's nothing but a "distraction" according to many, but it goes to the essence of Obama the accomplished liar.
Might be a Turing machine — I got the exact same response yesterday.
My approach is to continue to educate and inform, in the hopes that this poster, like the electorate, can be brought to a real understanding of conservative principles and critical thinking.
There is a great lack of reasoning in a lot of arguments these days. I think it is part of what makes it hard for us to win voter support.
Republicans should ask for EVERY vote, and not bypass those they think would never vote for them.
No, we all know that Obama will use all the power at his disposal to destroy America. I have long talked about his war on coal in which he harasses coal operations to raise their costs and hopefully put them out of business. As one example he uses Dept of Transportation inspections to harass the truckers carrying the coal. I have no doubt about your assessment of "Team Obama". They all know the goal and they know how to get promoted. I am sure there are rewards for the bureaucrats who do the most to shut down industry.
Where they have some difficulty is stealing elections since those are locally run. There are plenty of Team Obama members and supporter at the local level and that shows up in places like Philly where they perfected a 100% Obama vote 56 times (meaning almost 400 voters in each division made no Romney votes or Romney mistakes in each of 56 divisions). That obviously points to fraud.
There is a lot of good material on the links above, particularly regarding efforts to further weaken the voter identification and voting processes. But there are also numerous mistakes and some outright false information. There is, in short, no way the election was won fraudulently, not here in Virginia where it was close and probably not elsewhere. In my rural county there was more apathy than not among the conservative voters who were mostly ignorant about the scale of Obama's assault on America and/or not excited about Romney. Part of the latter came from Planned Parenthood who spent our tax money (while claiming not to) on anti-Romney ads on many radio stations including a country station I listen to. A lot of women turned against Romney and a fair number of men were not strongly behind him.
Spoken like a true Lib.
"Yet the Romney/rino crowd are comparing them as though Romney was not a disaster of historic proportions."
and you and your ilk here on FR are more than thrilled that BO won his re-election as that meant your non-stop campaign against Romney here and who knows where else worked. well done, and i hope you enjoy the next 4 years of Obamanation.
God Save our Once Free Republic.
God Save our Once Free Republic.
Yet the Romney/rino crowd are comparing 2008 and his own election, as though Romney was not a disaster of historic proportions.
From my reading (and I can't read everything, too busy), the St. Lucie County numbers are confusing because apparently there were 2 ballot cards for each voter. That said, it is obvious even from my news perusal since the election that there was massive election fraud in many states and districts.
Anyone who claims that the fraud was not enough to change any outcomes is wishfully thinking at best. There was much evidence of egregious voter fraud in many locations. At this point, the Dem party is nothing more or less than a marxist criminal gang. They break any rules they want with impunity, and the Rs act like a bunch of neutered bunny wabbits, with a few notable exceptions.
Stockholm syndrome is rampant on FR. We're in a coup. Pretending that we are not and we can "try again" next election is pathetic and only postpones any real fight back against the illegitimate administration. (for two reasons; massive election fraud is one, and illegitimate non-legally eligible "president" the other.) Pretty soon it will be like Egypt, don't forget that 0moslem's good buddy in Egypt Morsi just got bunches of US tax dollars to assist in creating a hardline Muzzie dictatorship. Yesterday or so Morsi just made up new constitutional rules or whwatever granting him dictatorship powers. Look to see more and more of that, now that the "election" is over, 0moslem will be flexible.

Conroe 4-Year-Old Mauled to Death by Pit Bull
A Texas community is in shock after a pit bull violently killed a 4-year-old boy.
Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office were called to a home just west of Conroe Saturday evening after getting a call that Christian Gormanous had been bitten by a pit bull.
Investigators with the Major Crimes Unit learned it happened after the boy climbed a chain link fence into a neighbor's yard. The dog was chained, but investigators said Christian got close enough to be attacked by the dog.
The victim's 9-year-old sister pulled the boy to safety and called for help, officials said.
Christian later died at the hospital.
Neighbors said they've complained about the dog running lose before.
"We called and called the Humane Society, and they don't ever do anything about it," said Michel McDanel, who lives nearby.

Poloncarz: Work on Temporary Lease Underway
Please enter your comments below.
He's not getting any younger.
I am more worried more about Ralph Wilson's health than I am about last Sunday's game. All the parties need to get together and hammer out a lease agreement that will at least attempt to keep the team here for the foreseeable future. If Mr. Wilson passes before this is done, I can't see lease negotiations not being put on hold. There should be a greater sense of urgency on the part of Erie County and New York State.
Just send your mom
Poloncarz got his brother a 50,000 plus a year job.. (of course the buffalo lib didnt report on that), have him send his mother for 75,000 a year to get it done.Erie county can not afford the Bills, they want too much money for the sad team at best that they are Is the money they earn for themselfs, worth the price that we pay, highest taxes(thank you libs)highest unemployment (thank you again over taxing libs)and the Bills want us to be taxed 100,000,000 dollars to fix up their stadium, really,wheres all the 99% now, why arent they protesting Mr. Wilson making a profit, how and why do we want to be taxed a great amount for something we wont get back for such a terrible team? Ralph Wilson dumped a lot of money into these people, and what did he get in return from them.. a... nothing Go bills, and take the sabres with you.

Hello all. I've recently started to find an interest in making animated .gif files and have downloaded some .gif programs from searching on google. They have all been so so, not really any good finds. The main problem I am having with the programs I find is that after you finish making your file and save it to your computer, it adds a banner of their software and website at the top, which completely ruins the .gif file.
I know it only does this because its just the demo/tutorial version and it would not do this if I were to purchase the program for a stupid amount of money, but I would like to ask all you graphic geniuses:
Do you know of any .gif programs that do not add their software print on gifs you make? Of if you have a .gif program that you use, would you be able to email me the setup.exe file of that program?

Every girl who has taken the test has failed. Now it's Kate's turn.
It's always been just Kate and her mom–and now her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.
Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld–and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
Kate is sure he's crazy–until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.
If she fails…
I usually do some significant outlining before I sit down to write a story. I don't write twenty or fifty or a hundred pages of outlines, but I do make sure to get the major plot points down. I consider it a map of sorts, though I'm not against veering off-course if it's what's best for the story. The Goddess Test has been niggling in the back of my mind for literally years, ever since I'd first really understood the myth of Hades and Persephone. Rather than focusing on Persephone's terrible circumstances, I looked at Hades and tried to see the story from his side of things.
Along the way, I made a lot of changes to the plot, and it didn't fall into place until 2007 or so, when the idea of Kate going to Hades in an effort to save someone she loved occurred to me. From then on out, I spent a lot of time writing and rewriting the outline, coming up with ways in which everything would work. Sure, Kate would be stuck with Henry for six months, but what was going on in those six months that makes the story compelling? It was a long process, but in the end, it was definitely worth it.
I've had characters do some surprising things, but I'm always in control of the story. Everyone has a different way of writing, and I've heard of authors whose characters take over and drive things for them, but I'm not one of them. I'm very conscious about what I write and how I can make it the best it can possibly be, at least at that stage of the process. It'd be wonderful if they took over for me though! That'd make my job a lot easier. 🙂
Oh, Phaedra is such a beautiful name! Your daughter's lucky to have it. I've always loved mythology, ever since I was a kid, and it came naturally, I suppose. I read everything I could get my hands on, but I kept coming back to that myth and continued to wonder about Hades' side of the story. I'm a sucker for ancient Greek culture, and I studied it whenever I could.
While there were certainly challenging parts to writing The Goddess Test, especially getting the ending right, I think the most challenging part about writing the trilogy as a whole is the spot I'm in now. People are reading and reviewing The Goddess Test, and while I don't read anything but positive reviews – for my own peace of mind – I'm hyper-aware of the fact that people are going to be reading the book I'm writing now, which is the third in the series. And it's daunting. I can see why a lot of writers have a hard time with sequels, but I'm determined to make this the best of the three, and hopefully that determination will produce results.
My publisher is amazing and asked me all kinds of questions about various scenes in the book, about what I envisioned for the cover, about the different characters, etc. In the end, I really had no idea what I wanted for the cover, and I was floored with the beautiful results.
Ha! No, no, I'm very careful not to do that. Some of them have traits from myself or people I know, but no one is based off of anyone specifically. Not even Kate's mother is anything close to what my own mother was like.
The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. And of course the Harry Potter series. I reread those books all the time, and they never get old.
I've been asked this a few times, and my answer changes each time, so take this answer as you will. I think I'd like to be Athena. Intelligence, power, and beauty, all rolled into one. She's always stood out to me, and she has the fewest downsides as far as the major Olympic goddesses go.
Besides the next two books in the Goddess Test trilogy (the second, Goddess Interrupted, will be released January 2012), I also have a dystopian trilogy coming soon from Harlequin TEEN as well. The first book is called Masked, and I can't wait to share it with everyone!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Troy James Knapp, known as the 'Mountain Man,' was captured in the Ferron Reservoir area on April 2 at 10:11 a.m. On March 29, Dale Fuller and his son Jordan Fuller, Ferron residents were shed antler hunting on Ferron Mountain and encountered an individual who identified himself as the 'Mountain Man.' Fuller said they did not feel threatened by the man and he was carrying a large backpack and had a rifle. He told them he wasn't going to shoot them. Dale said he was concerned upon encountering the man, because he had his son with him. Dale considered the incident suspicious and when he came off the mountain he contacted one of the Emery County detectives who texted photos of Troy James Knapp to him. Dale said he couldn't be positive, but it looked like the same man. Dale's dog was barking at the man and the man was saying odd things.
Emery County Sheriff's Office personnel started searching the area on March 29 and followed tracks for a few days, leading them to believe that Knapp was in the Ferron Reservoir area. Tracking became easier when Knapp made it back into the snow. The sheriff's office contacted the Sanpete Sheriff's Office at this time, because they had entered Sanpete County.
On March 30, a detective from Emery County Sheriff's Office responded to a burglary in the Reeder Subdivision area of Joe's Valley Reservoir. On March 31, the detective investigated another burglary in the same area. Weapons were taken in the second burglary. Evidence at the scenes suggested the same method of operation as tied to Knapp in the past.
Several meetings between county, state and federal law enforcement agencies were held to discuss an organized search of the area. On April 1, a plan was developed to go into the Ferron Reservoir area. Four personnel from Emery County Sheriff's Office went into the area to see if they could locate Knapp. As daylight came, all agencies responded to the cabins on the south side of Ferron Reservoir. The personnel from the Emery County Sheriff's Office kept an eye on the cabins to try to determine which one Knapp was in and to make sure he didn't get out of the snowy area and back onto dry ground where tracking becomes very difficult.
Officers were positioned to try to cut off any escape routes. In the early morning hours the personnel that went in early heard the sounds of Knapp chopping wood, from this sound they were able to determine his location. Not long after this the helicopter showed up and the snowmobiles came onto the scene.
Shots were fired at officers in the helicopter. The helicopter went higher into the sky to avoid these gunshots. It is not known if Knapp was trying to scare the helicopter pilot or if he was trying to hit officers. Knapp picked up his gun and backpack and was attempting to leave the area. Knapp took off but as he came over a hill, law enforcement officers shouted commands at Knapp to drop his weapon. Which he did.
Knapp was arrested without further incident by multiple law enforcement personnel on the ground. He was taken to the Emery County Sheriff's Office where he was questioned and then taken to Manti to be booked into the Sanpete County jail.
Officers described Knapp as being an interesting as well as entertaining person.
Knapp admitted to burglarizing three cabins in the Joe's Valley area and had been in the Ferron area recently. Sheriff Funk said, "I am happy that he's been apprehended. It's been a real concern. You don't know what kind of reaction you're going to get in these situations. I really want to thank all of those involved in this arrest. I want to thank Wade Nielsen from the road department. When we called and asked for the road to be plowed so we could get to a launch point for the snowmobiles, they went right to work. Thanks to all of our deputies who took care of the calls in the county, while a lot of our personnel were on the mountain tracking and apprehending this suspect. We have the best group of guys. Thanks to all of the extra personnel that came in to help including Iron, Sevier, Beaver, Sanpete, the Utah Highway patrol, Adult Probation and Parole and to the forest service for opening the gate to that area. We used the county's snowcat to bring out Mr. Knapp. The US Marshal's were also involved."
The Emery County Sheriff's Office participated in a search for the Mountain Man bandit in November of 2012. At that time he was in the Peavine area of the Muddy drainage. The bandit has been alluding capture for several years. Typically in his entry into the cabins he cuts a screen, opens a window and enters the cabin, "There was a federal warrant out for this man. He is a felon in possession of a fire arm, he was wanted in Iron County for burglary, they have filed charges against him," said Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk, "He's been on the run for approximately seven years now and he is originally a parole violator from California where he is on paper.
"When he breaks in he's usually pretty good, he just eats, showers and he cleans up after himself. He did deface some cabins in southern Utah, if it looked like the owners worked for the government or if there were religious pictures or artifacts in the home.
Knapp is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds and has blue eyes and red hair typically cut very short. Knapp is being held in the Sanpete County jail on numerous charges. It's not known for certain how many break-ins he's been involved with over the years, but in Sevier County it is reported to be between 15-18. At least 30 in Garfield County and countless others in Iron, Kane, Sanpete and Emery counties.
When the final moments came before Knapp threw down his weapon and surrendered, Sheriff Funk said Knapp made aggressive moves toward him and Agent Wade Allinson by raising his rifle and taking aim at Agent Allinson and Sheriff Funk fired a shot, but did not hit Knapp.
Sanpete County Sheriff Brian Nielson in a letter to the Emery County Progress said, "I am writing to let the people of Emery County know the hard work and dedication put forth by Sheriff Greg Funk and his men. Sheriff Funk and his deputies spent many days and nights, and traveled many miles on the mountain tracking the "mountain man." They are expert trackers and extremely dedicated. The effort they put forth was a major factor in the apprehension of Mr. Knapp. I am grateful, as are many in the state of Utah, for Sheriff Funk and the Emery County Sheriffs Office. I am very happy with the apprehension of Mr. Knapp, and that he is in custody and all agencies involved are safe. April 2, 2013 was a great day for Utah law enforcement, and a good example of teamwork among agencies."

The 5030 CC is similar to the T70 goal stick in construction, yet weighing in slightly higher. Carbon fiber and fiberglass is used throughout, making the stick durable with a lot of playability.

Reducing the vibration on impact is a Vibration Reduction Foam Core ++. This light, high-density foam provides excellent vibration dampening and great control over rebounds. The 5030 CC is using a Power Inner Core +, that is layers of material strategically positioned to capture and distribute energy across the paddle for greater vibration absorption. Keeping this stick at a perfect balance, Sher-Wood is using their Equilibrium technology. The weight of the blade, paddle and shaft have been balanced, allowing the goalie to have better puck control while keeping the fatigue down on your blocker hand. Sher-Wood has opted to use their Tradfeel shaft design, squared walls with rounded corners that give the goalie a very traditional feel.
The Sher-Wood 5030 CC performs well for goalies up to the advanced levels of play and the traditional wood appearance gives this composite stick some interesting styling.

DAVOS - A tradition for as long as I've been coming to the Spengler Cup is the Team Canada Family Skate Day.
Under the old tournament format, it used to come on the off day for the team.
However, under the new format, in which the schedule varies depending on whether you win or lose your first couple of games, the skate has been moved to Christmas Day.
It's all about the players and their wives/girlfriends, kids and parents.
They always take the official team photo - with the mountains and arena as a backdrop - and a big family photo.
The coolest thing about the event is that you see the players as fathers and husbands. Be it skating around holding hands with their wife/girlfriend or trying to teach a toddler how to skate.
Tenth Year
This is the tenth year that the Spengler Cup will be broadcast to Canadians. A quick story on how it started: I had seen the tournament on TV over the years when coming to Europe to work on the World Junior Championship. The pictures, as they are now, were always great - colourful fans, beautiful scenery and entertaining hockey. It was always in the back of my mind: "Wouldn't it be great to do this for Canadian TV." Fast forward several years, and I helped put together a group (yours truly, Doug Honegger and producer - now TSN Exec VP of Live Programming - Paul Graham) to purchase the Canadian TV rights. So, we had the rights, but not much money or interest from Canadian broadcasters. We did not have enough money for satellite transmission costs. So, for the first ever broadcast year (2002), we called the games live in Davos, had them recorded on tape and then had the tape driven immediately to Zurich and put on a flight back to Toronto. Once in Toronto, it was picked up at the airport by Paul's wife and taken to a company that could convert the video format from the one used to record it in Europe to the type used by North American TV. After that was done, the tape was taken to an excellent (and sadly now deceased) editor by the name of Ken Moe. Ken worked his magic and put together a two hour presentation of the game, which was then delivered to the sports channel that was running it and then broadcast. So, the games were all tape delayed by about a day and a half! We've come a long way, but I always chuckle when I remember that first year and hoping after every game that the driver made it to Zurich in time for the flight.
Fred Brathwaite
I saw Fred at the team skate on Wednesday morning and shared a few old junior hockey stories with him (namely the 1990 Memorial Cup with Oshawa). He's 40 now and looks in great shape. After a decent NHL run in the late 90s and early 00s, Fred headed to Russia and eventually left there and signed with Mannheim in the DEL. He was the DEL Player of the Year in 2009. He capped off a nice four season run with Mannheim when he retired after last season. The thing is, I half expected him to be playing for Canada in this tournament. I thought that because when I saw him last month in Germany at the Deutschland Cup - where he was an assistant coach with Team Canada - he was about as happy standing behind the bench in a suit as any first year retired player is: not very. He was joking (or was he?) with Team Canada general manager Brad Pascall that, you know, "if need be, he could be convinced…" It never came to be, but at the time I wouldn't have bet against it. Fred didn't succeed like he did by taking "no" for an answer very often.

A popular choice of tournament pro's across the country, the Z Man ChunkZ feature 10X Tough ElaZtech technology for a naturally buoyant presentation at the end of your jig. The claws flutter provocatively on a steady retrieve and will float up in a defensive position even while sitting still on the bottom. Available in multiple colors, the Z Man ChunkZ are designed to turn an ordinary bass jig into the perfect stand-up jig.
What separates Elaztech plastics from other soft plastics is their life-like action, natural buoyancy and unmatched durability. Elaztech baits not only look great, they are also up to 10X tougher than other plastics. They resist nicks, cuts and tears, and that means you're likely to catch a lot more fish on Elaztech before having to replace them.
Do not mix Elaztech baits with standard plastic baits.

Customer Reviews
Comments: fished one on the back of a jig all day today. ONE. This thing held up, but the claws, where the wide part meets the arm, are barely there. I put over 20 fish on this thing though. I think the floating qualities of the bait were responsible for a lot of the bites on the fall and as soon as it hit bottom. Pretty darn good, Im getting more.

Going out to catch some fish doesn't have to be a serious sport, even though it is for some. You can do it for fun instead of competition, and still see how big of a fish you can catch. Recreational fishing is a great way to unwind after a long week at work. In order to get ready for your outing, you need to have the right gear.
Rods and Reels
Unless you plan on going noodling, a method of catching fish with your bare hands, you are going to need a rod and reel. The type of pole is dependent on your personal taste and what type of recreational fishing you would like to partake in. The rod itself can be made of glass fiber composite, carbon fiber composite, or bamboo.
There are also three different types of reels. If you are inexperienced, you probably want to start with the spincast reel. This reel has a closed face, meaning the line is covered and exits through a hole in the cap. It is the easiest to use. Simply push the thumb release, located at

Honey Hill Orchard is a family-owned and operated orchard that was started as a hobby by Hawken Askelson in 1965.

It's March, which means the madness is right around the corner, as the nation's best teams will do battle to earn a berth in Indianapolis for the Final Four on April 3 and 5.
It also means it's a great time to sign up for the 2016 Women's Tournament Challenge. After the brackets are revealed on March 13, come back to make your picks for the NCAA women's tournament and follow along with the action when games tip off March 18 all the way to the Final Four.
The object of the game is simple, especially for those who have played in bracket games through the years: Select the teams you think will win each of the 63 tournament games, from the first round all the way to the championship game. You'll get points for each game you pick correctly, with the points increasing as the tournament progresses. Remember to make all your picks before the first round tips off, but after that, just tune in to the ESPN family of networks to watch all the action unfold. (All women's tournament games will be on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPN Full Court, as well as WatchESPN.)
If you score the most points, you'll have a chance to win a $3,000 Amazon Gift Card.
Will Geno Auriemma lead the mighty Connecticut women to a four-peat and an 11th national crown? The Huskies will be tough to take down, but among the top challengers are former conference foe Notre Dame along with perennial contenders South Carolina and Baylor.
You can fill out up to 10 brackets, so you can have some fun in making your picks. Will you decide to go chalk and pick all the favorites? Or are you more apt to go upset-happy, or even pick teams based on mascots or school colors? Whatever you decide, it's all about having fun and a rooting interest in all of the games.
Best of luck as you take your shot toward women's bracket glory!

Warm boot, difficult if you are a half size
"These boots are very warm and stand up to snowy, below zero Chicago conditions. I walked around for about an hour and my feet were perfectly dry and warm even though it was 10 below with several inches of snow on the ground. I normally wear a 9.5 and decided to size up thinking I could pad them out with thick socks. Even with thick socks they are a bit big. Plus you don't even need thick socks because the wool liner is so warm. I ended up with quite a painful blister because they rubbed on the back of my ankle. That said, I'm going to keep them and add a insert. Hopefully breaking them in a bit will prevent future blisters."

ready to beat the cold
"These boots are a little heavy and look wide to the wearer but absolutely keep my feet dry and warm. I normally wear a 9-9.5 but decided to get them in a 10 so that I could still wear chunky socks in them (not necessary with how warm they are). If you're looking for stylish Sorel boots, look for a different boot. These boots are made for winter fun activity and outdoor work. I'm glad I got them!"

"These are great boots but they do seem to run a little big! I can't wait to try them out in the snow once we get some accumulation!I ordered them in the grey & purple color they're super cute! They will work out great I'm sure for walking our boy Oliver during the winter as they are very warm & well insulated! Others have commented on them being difficult to put on & take off but if you loop your finger through the pull attached to the insulated insert you can pull them up or off much easier!"

Duck season
December 01 2007 01:17PM
It's been over a year since the Ducks have been able to win in Edmonton. Last night was no exception. Honestly, 5-1? Not even our OilersNation Optimistic Predictions System (OOPS) computer spat out that final score.
When asked about the blow-out, the OOPS had this to say:
"Cannot parse score; CUP_CHAMP_WIN = 1 SLUPPING_UNDERDOGS_WIN = 0 DANGER. DANGER."
Then smoke started coming out of old-timey tape drive.
MacTavish's comments after the game were far more, uh... Well, MacT sort of speaks for himself.
"Daaaaaamn! The Ducks' game last night was smack! I think Prongs was distracted by his babymomma sittin' up there in the stands, y'all."
Whatever you say, MacT. We'll take a win. a 5-1 WIN!
Go Oil!
CUP_CHAMP_WIN = 1 exe.
I dont get that comment but good win Oil

The Olsen twins continue their world domination in the fashion world with a line for J.C. Penney Co. called Olsenboye, which will include denim, bottoms, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and shoes. And for a pretty cheap penny, items will retail from $20-$50!
Kicking it on 42nd Street is Asics', first time ever in the U.S., New York flagship store. The store opened its' doors last Thursday, just in time for last minute shopping for the New York Marathon this weekend.
Read the WWD articles below.
–Nikki Cho Russo
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are expanding their fashion reach.
The sisters, entertainers and marketers almost since their infancy who last week became members of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, have signed a deal with J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to launch Olsenboye, a junior brand that will be exclusive to the chain.
The collection will have a major rollout, set for 600 Penney??™s stores in February. But the company aims to generate curiosity among teens well before the launch with what amounts to a new marketing approach for the retailer built around previews, limited offerings and digital, guerrilla and viral marketing tactics.
The effort kicks off Monday with an Olsenboye truck cruising around New York selling merchandise and giving out cupcakes, balloons and pins, and empty racks in 50 high-profile stores will be covered in Olsenboye shrouds. Beginning Nov. 6, Olsenboye will be available on jcp.com and in those 50 stores, including the Manhattan flagship, for a limited time.
There also will be a teaser video for the preview collection on olsenboye.com featuring teen characters.
For the full launch in the spring, there will be broadcast spots, magazine print ads and direct-mail pieces. There also will be an interactive digital campaign on jcp.com, Penney??™s teen Facebook page and Twitter.
For the last several seasons, Penney??™s has been unleashing new labels and designer exclusives while culling out brands that have lost relevance, striving to modernize its image, catering to more of a teen and contemporary crowd and offering something different.
Among its consumer base, ???the propensity for trying and adapting new brands is terrific,??? said Liz Sweney, Penney??™s executive vice president and general merchandise manager of women??™s. ???We are stepping up our style to attract a younger customer??? with such recent launches as Bisou Bisou, I [Heart] Ronson, Allen B., Oxford & Regent and Twelfth of Eleven, all contemporary lines done in collaboration with designers and brands. Last month, Penney??™s launched its first contemporary label, called she said, created by its own design team. Arizona and Decree are among the key junior brands at the store, but the retailer also still sells more traditional lines geared to a more mature crowd, such as Worthington, and has just signed a deal with Liz Claiborne Inc. to be the exclusive retailer for the Liz Claiborne line. ???We love our older customer, as well,??? Sweney noted.
When it comes to price, however, Penney??™s has maintained its moderate, value-driven, promotional posture. Olsenboye, which is the Olsens??™ ancestral name, will fall into Penney??™s good and better price tiers. Olsenboye is a casual sportswear and accessories collection that includes denim, bottoms, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and shoes. The line will retail from $20 to $50 and is being designed to be mixed to create different looks. The brand also will periodically flow in travel-inspired mini collections, each reflecting the looks and trends of different cities.
Asics??™ First Retail Run
Asics opened its first U.S. flagship in New York last Thursday near Bryant Park on 42nd Street.
The 1,100-sq.-ft. shop stocks men??™s and women??™s running footwear, apparel and accessories, as well as official apparel for the ING New York City Marathon. The store also houses a Foot ID 3D Scan machine, which uses both lasers and cameras to measure and analyze feet.
Asics Chairman Kiyomi Wada told Footwear News the company decided to bow in New York because of the city??™s large running population.
He added that in spite of the current economy, he was bullish about the debut. ???This is a chance for us to show that our business is strong,??? he said, speaking through a translator.
U.S. President and CFO Rich Bourne said this location will act as a testing ground and that there are no immediate plans for another unit. Looking down the line, though, Wada noted that other U.S. cities of interest would include Chicago and Los Angeles.
Asics??™ business has been growing steadily in the U.S., said Bourne, with stateside sales making up about 22 percent of the company??™s total business. ???We had double-digit growth last year, and we??™re determined to keep growing this year,??? he said. Bourne also cited the firm??™s marketing campaigns around big events like the Olympics and the New York marathon as drivers in helping to elevate its U.S. presence.
Vans Goes Pop
Vans, the skate-and-surf lifestyle brand, opened its Vault Shop pop-up last Friday at the Conveyor in Fred Segal in Santa Monica, Calif. The shop has taken over the entire Conveyor space and will house all limited-edition Vault by Vans products and Vans by Conveyor exclusives under one roof, as well as brand favorites and classics.
Also hitting shelves are special sneaker designs by artist Taka Hayashi. The Vault shop has created a gallery-like layout, with Hayashi??™s own artwork and inspirations for his shoe designs displayed until the end of October. The following months will introduce a new visual space and a completely new round of merchandise for consumers.
???What we??™re looking for is an opportunity to showcase the brand,??? said marketing and PR rep Chris Overholser. ???The best way for us to do that is in an environment where we can show our best product, and we can effectively tell the stories behind that product.???
If the shop exceeds sales expectations, more Vans pop-ups could roll out, said Overholser.
