Should we be concerned that Democrats are showing more enthusiasm in these primaries? Was it like this in 2000 and 2004?
They have more dead people than we do/s/.
November won’t be close. McCain won’t satisfy the repub base, meaning no turnout in November. Hillary wins on a landslide and has her ‘mandate’ to ram chairman Mao down our throats.
What have Republicans got to be enthused about?
The Republican coalition is broken, the base is disinterested. Why would this be surprising?
yes
Hillary is a biPolarizing figure that get her hater & lovers out to vote.
Theirs will be without question the most insanely Marxist ticket in the history of the Republic.
President Hillary is not going to happen.
Maybe, then again the same thing happened in 1988.
If 400,000 in Missouri were ready to vote for Hillary and only 200,000 for McCain, do you see any way that changes in November?
Taking into consideration all the hatred of Bush, I believe this is a great motivating factor in their turnout. They are so close now they can taste it.
Yeah, let's worry about smoke damage while the house is fully engulfed in fire.
I will say that the mad dash for all of the drug addicts, hippies, and high school kids to caucus for B. Hussein Obama tonight here in Boise was nauseating and discouraging all at the same time...
Yeah, Idaho is starting to reap the rewards of the influx of the Californians and other liberal imports.
Go look in the archives.. 2004 was filled with stories about Dim turnout and enthusiasm, how now incumbent trailing in January ever won, blah blah.
Lots of rats came out to vote because there was a real race between Obama and Clinton.
Come November the same people that voted in 2004 and supported the GOP will be there again with a lot more urgency:
One interesting fact about Missouri is its status as a bellwether of national politics.
Missouri has a longer stretch of supporting the winning presidential candidate than any other state, having voted with the nation in every election since 1904 with the exception of Adlai Stevenson in 1956.
In 2004, George W. Bush won the state's 11 electoral votes by a margin of 7 percentage points with 53.3 percent of the vote.
Missouri has a very notable urban-rural split, as Democrat John Kerry only won three of the state's 115 counties: St. Louis County, Ste. Genevieve, and Jackson County (which contains most of Kansas City).-wiki

Democrats were enthusiastic about crossing over in the primaries in 2000 to vote for McCain as well.
They can’t be counted on crossing the aisle in the general election, however.
They want to win by any means necessary.
Dems always “poll” well early, when the MSM can more easily manipulate the polls.
Republicans inevitably improve in the polls as the season grinds on.
Stick to the issues - do not atttack candidates personally. If we stick to the issues, Conservatism eventually wins.
I just can't see it. The turnout for the rats is staggering. McCain just simply won't turn out the vote. I see a 45% to 30% win for the rat in November.
