Well the rank and file voters are only bringing out about half the votes for McCain’s primary wins as Hillary is losing with. The rank and file have left the Grand Old Plantation.

Well the rank and file voters are only bringing out about half the votes for McCain’s primary wins as Hillary is losing with. The rank and file have left the Grand Old Plantation.

I just went and put a quick spreadsheet together of the primaries. I only included states where primaries/caucuses have been held for both parties. Here are a couple of the results:

1) Democrats have pulled in 20.9% more votes than Republicans: 21,993,987 votes to 14,393,155 votes.

2) McCain has received 5,711,453 to date in the primaries.

3) Clinton has received 10,310,367 votes to date in the primaries.

4) Obama has received 10,533,027 votes to date in the primaries. (Note: Obama's total is artificially low since his name was not on the MI ballot and he didn't campaign in FL).

I think based on the sheer number of motivated Democrats showing up at the polls that the Republican candidate is going to get swamped in November.
