Democratic Voter Registration Off the Charts
Posted by Matt Ortega on April 28, 2008 at 10:55 AM
Democratic enthusiasm is off the charts this election year. Going as far back as Iowa, Democrats turned out at the polls and caucus sites in record numbers.
Another sign of the incredible energy expressed by Democrats are the record voter registration numbers.
The past seven states to hold primaries registered more than 1 million new Democratic voters; Republican numbers mainly ebbed or stagnated. North Carolina and Indiana, which will hold their presidential primaries on May 6, are reporting a swell of new Democrats that triples the surge in registrations before the 2004 primary.

The sad part is that you never what people are really gong to do when they vote. My father told me this when I was about 16 years old. And you know what. Father knows best. But lets hope that people have had enough of stupid lying asshole republicans.
This country will self destruct if stupid people vote for McCain.

My concern is that if Barack Obama doesn`t get the nomination what kind of an exodus there will be? The superdelegates have the the party itself resting with their decision.

The most Super Deligates would like to put a Woman in the WhiteHouse and that woman that is highly qualified is Hillary Clinton.
But if OBoma rises from the Wright controversity, it will be the blacks that raise him up. I am not sure that the Blacks alone can put a Candidate over the top. Most of the people are really worried about OBama's hate factor. Could he continue to pretend not to have hate in his heart after 20years of listening to it?

Has the DNC considered that Operation Chaos is a factor in the Newly Registered Democrats you are so happily reporting about? I strongly believe that Operation Chaos is party responsible for all the so called former Republicans switching parties in order to vote in the primary and cause "Chaos" with their votes. I know several Rush supporters that have joined in on Operation Chaos and registered as Dems then voted for Hillary in Penn. Penn reported 1 in 10 voters in Penn switched party affiliation in order to vote in the Primary. This number is really close to the margin Clinton won by. The Republicans want to run against Hillary because they know that the majority of Americans don't trust her and their best shot at the WH is running against the Clintons. The word Clinton makes Republicans foam at the mouth. They will come out in droves to vote against a Clinton, but they won't leave the couch to support McCain. Even the Republican commentators on TV are rooting for her, Scarborough, just to name one. I hope the Superdelegates are taking a serious look at this, because I believe that Rush, as sick as he is, is having a huge impact on the voting when it comes to the "blue collar crowd" these people are his audience. Obama is the candidate of choice for the majority of Dems that have voted and Hillary is the choice the covert Repub's are voting for in their Operation Chaos campaign. That speaks volumes as to who we should choose as our nominee. Hillary is acting like a Republican with her attack campaign, she's supporting the stupid Gas Tax Holiday with McCain, this is so wrong and twisted. Superdelegates need to quit sitting on the fence and make their choice known sooner than later before Rush, Hillary and the Republicans hijack our party. Put a stop to Operation Chaos, Support the will of America's true Democrats and speak out to support Obama, he is our choice.

I was willing to vote for either dem, until Clinton did what has now done. When this silly party hands it to Clinton, I hope they pay the price in November when the young and many blacks stay home.
