More than half a million people have registered to vote or switched registrations this year to get their say in upcoming Democratic primaries in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Indiana - the latest indication of heavy voter interest and enthusiasm in the 2008 presidential campaign.
As the nomination battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton stretches through the spring, the three states are suddenly at the epicenter of a race that many predicted would be resolved by now. Pennsylvania votes a week from Tuesday; North Carolina and Indiana head to the polls on May 6.
Registrations in all three states - which are competitive between the two senators - have surged this year as it has become clear that voters in those states may well determine the Democratic nominee.
"There's more interest in the primary among the citizens here than any time in the last 40 years," said Edward Carmines, a political scientist at Indiana University.
The spike in voter activity reflects a defining trend of this election.
Voter turnout in one Democratic contest after another has smashed records and far surpassed Republican numbers, even though they, too, reached all-time highs in some states. And a significant number of Republicans have changed their registrations so they can vote in the Democratic race.

***Notice how if you try to “Reply” to “Rush”, post 3 1/2, you actually reply to “Movement Conservative, post 3?***
LOL! You’re right. I think I figured out how someone did it except for the reply going back to 3.
Did you check out the home page at post 3 1/2?
It takes you to Rush’s site.
Hello, and welcome Evil Leader.
Did you mean Evil Leader, in a sort of “Rove, you magnificent B@st@rd” kind of way?
I think it is from the Get Smart TV series. But yes, in a “Rove, you magnificent B@st@rd type of way. Growing up as a kid our club (The Wild Rumpus Club) leader was always referred to as the Evil Leader. It is a good and worthy title.
I don’t believe that picture (w/all the smoke) is Rush, either. He’s better lookin’ than that!
Very nice!
The smoke is blocking some of his beauty. ;-)

Did you also notice that he signed up just today?
Yes, Just Today.
Must be the Mods playing a joke.
Oh, well.
