Dems Turnout Higher Than GOP For First Time Since 1990
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1736750/posts
"The Democratic share of the eligible vote casting ballots for the House of Representatives increased from 16.8 percent in 2002 to 17.9 in 2006.
The Republican share declined sharply, from 19.2 percent in 2002 to 16.8 in 2006. This marks the first mid-term election since 1990 in which the Democrats garnered more votes that the GOP.
In the ballots so far counted in 2006 (and again excluding California, Oregon and Washington), citizens cast 31,703,311 votes for Democratic candidates for U.S. House, compared to 28,749,023 in 2002. The Republican candidates received 29,920,240 votes in 2006 compared with 32,771,580 in 2002."

I don't make things up, unlike a lot of people here. I only deal in facts.
It still does not support your contention that Conservatives didn't show up to vote.
Sorry, FO... you're about 0 for 20 now.
You posted an article claiming that Republicans had less turnout than usual, and another article that claimed that "contrary to forecasts that religious conservatives would stay away from the ballot booth, voter turnout resembled that of previous elections..."
Looks like you've made the argumant that your "centrists" were the ones who stayed home.
Your plea to move the party left just crashed and burned.
