It would be NICE if the “journalist” would explain WHY the Dems turnouts were so HIGH.....they ONLY get their delegates through the CAUCUS process..

That may be part of the reason in Washington but turnout has been very scary for the GOP all season long. I saw Newt yesterday addressing CPAC and he mentioned that on Super Tuesday 14.8 million democrats voted vs 9.3 in the GOP (numbers may be a lttile off). That's a huge swing. Compare that to the amounts of money raised by their candidates compared to the paltry sums our guys raised and we have a lot to worry about in November.

I’m suspect that the big money and big turnout is due to the passionate contest between the first woman vs the first black (as serious contenders), and that in the fall, whichever side loses gets mad and stays home.

If they’re raising lots more money, that’s another good reason to support Huck, he sure can stretch a dollar :) :)

I know Republicans in SC who voted in the Democratic Primary in order to vote against Hillary. I don’t know it if it’s possible to do that in other states, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is happening elsewhere, and then some are sitting it out because they think it’s already decided. I wasn’t excited by any of the Republican candidates, but voted for Romney because I think he’s smarter than McCain and Huckabee. I don’t like either McCain or Huckabee, and I see Huckabee as another Ross Perot...a spoiler who knows he hasn’t a chance, but he’ll spoil it for someone else! I wish we could draft Newt Gingrich! He’s got more sense than the Democrats and Republicans combined IMO.

Well, I’ve actually heard that these turnouts are kind of consistent to what they’ve been in the past. Note, I sad “I’ve heard”, so that means it could be wrong— but don’t panic.
