Charlie Cook & MSM keep shouting that democrats are energized like never before & it 's going to be doom & gloom for republicans.
Meanwhile just this week, in Florida Republican primary, 968,210 turned out to give Charlie Crist the Gubernatorial nomination.
Only 850,548 Democats turned out to give Jim Davis the Democratic nomination. (that was 37% turnout dropoff in the FL Dem GOV primary from '02 to '06.)
Statewide GOP turnout outpaces Dem turnout by at least 120,000... in the primary nonetheless.
Even pollsters, who supposedly deal in numbers, never let a few facts get in their way!!!!
If the DBM were interested in higher ratings they'd want a close, exciting election. Instead they're beating the drum about a Democratic landslide. Shows you what their priorities really are.
Good morning Anita: your post was so timely; I was on hold on cspan to ask Charlie Cook a couple of questions, and I threw this little factoid to ask him if he thought this demonstrated the trend that republicans are really getting their vote out. His answer was he wasn't really sure, but that he would watch it to see if the trend continues.
