>Really? So more Democrats are coming out to vote? Well, that is great news. I needed a pick-me-up since Obama lost NH. Well, I wasn't referring to that, I was referring to actual party enrollment. Many more people are now enrolled as Dems than Republicans now, and it's a huge swing in the last four years. But, more Dems are in fact coming out to vote, and maybe that's more important. In Iowa, where Republicans traditionally turn out more than Dems for the primaries, there were TWICE AS MANY Democratic votes as there were Republicans. Clinton came in third, and yet she had many more votes than Huckabee did. In NH, there were like 50% more votes cast for Dems than for Reps. This is going to keep happening over and over. There just ARE more Dems than Reps now, and they're more excited about their candidates. And this is why "electability" is nowhere near the top of my criteria for my candidate this year. Any Dem that can run a halfway decent campaign will win against the Republican bozos. -Z
