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.

[Dreagon]

What have Republicans got to be enthused about?

[Brett66]

The Republican coalition is broken, the base is disinterested. Why would this be surprising?

[Archon of the East]

yes

[TeleStraightShooter]

Hillary

Hillary is a biPolarizing figure that get her hater & lovers out to vote.

[LdSentinal]

Maybe, then again the same thing happened in 1988.

[Vicki]

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.

[hole_n_one]

Should we be concerned that Democrats are showing more enthusiasm in these primaries?

Yeah, let's worry about smoke damage while the house is fully engulfed in fire.

[bshomoic]

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.

[Political Junkie Too]

People turnout or paper turnout?

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.

[Eccl 10:2]

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.

[SamAdams76]

Well the fact of the matter is that many Republicans stayed home tonight (although I did get out there in the pouring rain to cast my vote for Mitt Romney in Massachusetts).

Let's face it, the Obama/Clinton race is far more exciting than the Huckabee/McPain/Romney tilt. In fact, I would not be surprised if many Republican leaning Independents crossed over to cast a vote against the Clintons (my wife was one of them).

However, I think that Americans will turn out in force in November to vote against either Obama or the Clintons (I'm thinking it will be Obama). I'm just hoping it's not McPain that is the GOP nominee.

I, for one, have not lost hope that McPain will not be our nominee.

A. They came so close in ‘00 they almost got away with grand larceny in full view of the country;
B. Came close again in ‘04, but Ohio was more transparent than FLA;
C. They been out of power for eight years and left in shame then;

What would be a surprise would be if they WEREN’T energized on a double dose of black beauties.

[RSmithOpt]

30 million illegals with false ID’s all over? Wouldn’t be surprised if a third of them are getting to vote for their handouts to continue.

[JasonC]

Yes. We are going to lose big, unless something seriously changes. Right now we are setting up for a perfect storm - weak and despised lame duck president that people don't even want campaigning for them, wing revolt against the nominee, unpopular war still going on, $3 gas, a recession smack in the middle of the election year, and a hungry and excited opposition.

These are the things landslides are typically made from. So buckle up, if you think the primaries are rough, wait until you see the general. And if you think the elections are rough, wait until you see the governing. And if you think the governing and policies are going to be rough, wait until you see what foreign powers are going to do while it plays out.

And everyone, please take a realism pill and cowboy the frack up...

[AmericaUnited]

When the Evil Witch get nominated due to Super Delegate trickery, a huge number of Obama supporters will be pissed and hence, NO SHOWS come November.
