got #'s on that or are you projecting based on your opinion?
2008, Obama won by 9.5 million votes. There are 6 or 7 million welfare recipients. 1/3 are in California so that leaves about 4 million in the rest of the country. Many come from Appalachia and predominately white areas in the south and like many voters in WV wouldn't vote or Obama.
In any case, suppose 1/2 welfare recipients actually voted (only slightly below national average), then you are talking 3.5 million, half of whom are in CA. 1.8 million everywhere else in the country. Out of 133 million people that voted, 1.8 million spread between 49 states is not really worth "relying" on for election. I am guessing this is just one more example of reality being very different than the conservative propaganda
