I think it obvious that the key is 'getting more votes'.

FTR, the direction of the movement of BOTH was by your own admission, UP. OF COURSE it was up more in the group that had three candidates and lost the last election versus the one that won.

This whole idea that once a trend moves one way, it continues is ridiculous. The left should have learned that after all of the predictions (there are posts by many of these same people alluding to this) talking about how the demographics are all favoring Democrats and that Republicans won't be in power for the next 20+ years.
