I've heard figures that 1 million new Democrats are registered in Pennsylvania, and 500,000 in Florida. About 6 million people voted in the 2004 election in Pennsylvania, and about 8 million did in Florida. So the 1 million new voters in Pennsylvania would be a 17% shift, while the 500,000 voters in Florida would be a 6% shift. I know that not all of the voters will turn out, but even if we assume about 60% actual voter turnout, that is a huge mountain for McCain to climb.
I can tell you that I’m newly registered to vote in Florida and will be voting for McCain. Whatever that’s worth.
I wonder how many are in the ground, illegal, or duplicates?
The change in registration will show in all polling. Polling phone calls are not restricted to old registration lists. They are random. The respondent says if he or she is registered.
So this talk of new registrations either has an effect or not in a way that will be understood from the polls before election day.
Must be the end of the world. A lot of people being raised from the dead.
It’s one thing to register young & new voters. It’s a whole nother thing to see them showing up to vote.
There are almost 2 million more Democrats than Republicans in Florida if I’m not mistaken and despite that we’ve had 2 Jeb Bush terms and 1 Crist term.
I heard something about this today on Fox, and they were saying that if that is the case Obama should be way ahead in the polls and also in the primaries and that Kerry should have won when he ran too because they had registered a huge amount of dems back then as well.
My question is how many of the new registered voters are real and how many are ACORN?
Republican Party affiliation increased 2 percent in August.
It’s easy to bring a piece of paper to someone and ask them to fill in a few spaces to register to vote.
It’s another thing to then get that person to go out himself and actually vote.
If someone isn’t registered to vote and doesn’t actively go out and seek it on his own, I doubt they will then go through the effort to then find their polling place and show up to vote.
Numbers don't always add up the way the dimrats think they will......Pennsylvainia is loaded with Seasoned citizens that I'm betting won't vote for a Black Yewth.
We have WORK to do people. Let’s get out there and DO IT!
operation chaos figures are included in pa ,ohio,id,nc,va,
How many people do you really think changed their voter registration in Pennsylvania for Operation Chaos? Even if it was 100,000, that’s only 10% of the new Democratic voters.
Furthermore, the polling before Obama/Clinton primaries was conducted in this way, too. And in many primaries, Clinton had an showing higher than the phone polls.

Relax. 40 to 50% of the electorate will not show up to vote.
The voter turnout going back to 76 years: 1932, 52%; 1936, 57%; 1940, 59%; 1944, 56%; 1948, 51% ; 1952, 62%; 1956, 59%; 1960, 63; 1964, 62%; 1968, 61%; 1972, 55%; 1976, 54% ; 1980, 53%; 1984, 53%; 1988, 50%; 1992, 54%; *1996, 49%; 2000, 51%; 2004, 55%.
Most of these new voting yahoos will be hitting the bong on election day.
*Note: notice Clinton won with less than 50% of the electorate not voting in 1996.
my question was going to be how many new repubs registered during the same time period in those 2 states...??...i see they don’t tell us that...
How do they know who is legal
