Dead link?
Wouldn't the facts that the Dems had a contested Senate primary and the the GOP didn't influence the turnout to a tremendous degree? Am I missing something?
Just sayin' hey. I have to ask because of your screen name, are you from 7D? I used to live there.
nope. you are talking southern md, home of the good ol boy democrat. although it is changing, that is the political base amongst the 40 yr old and up, and they are conservatives at heart. can't speak for the zillions of yuppies that have shown up though.
the only md county near DC that keeps going for a repub president? st mary's
Works for me.
I Lived in St. Marys until 1960 , there were no republicans to even talk about back then .
COURAGE IS THAT YOU!!!!!
I am hoping that is the case. My biggest interest in the primary was voting for County Commissioners.
Thanks for your service to our country 7thson .
Do not know what 7D is or means. I am the 7th son of my father, thus the name. Johnny Rivers sung about me! 8-)
Actually, Calvert County has voted for Republican for President since Dole.
Try not to read too much into primary turn-out. If there are no interesting races, nobody is going to show up.
Things are looking good for November. The President in trending in the right direction, and as they are beginning to look closely, people are seeing that the Democrats have no reasonable position on National Security, just as I predicted they would.
Your district may be atypical because of the recent Yuppie invasion. Sorry about that. But nationwide, things are looking good.
It looks like the turnout was pretty even up here in Cecil. I do suspect it was because of the uncontested Senate race though that more Republicans didn't vote. Also, the newspaper has made reference several times to the fact that we have more registered Democrats than Republicans but the general election results in the past five years would imply the opposite.
This is actually quite good news, because the Party organization candidate had a chance, while the moonbat has none.
7th voting district in St. Mary's. The Land That Time Forgot. I miss it; just checkin' to see if you're a county boy. :)
yeah, but there's only 28 people and some muskrats over there........
part of the reason for the low repub turnout was probably because there was no presidential concern
Lizzie Dole in 08.....
The turnout in MD for the primary election would likely be higher for the RAT party since they had a competitive race. Steele had the GOP nomination in the bag.
precisely. I was a campaign manager for a Republican candidate in Tuesday's elections up in Carroll County (west of Baltimore), that has voted Republican in every election since at least the 1960's, and Republican turnout was relatively good, but Democrat turnout was very strong because they had the Senate race that was a real race. The Republican candidate (Steele) won about 85% of his vote, so most Republican voters only turned out to vote on local races. The Democrats, however, only turned out to vote on the national races.
