Kicking Ass: The Democratic Party's Blog

Record Turnout

Posted by Michael Link on May 8, 2008 at 04:45 PM

Some folks at the Democratic Party crunched the numbers and put together some pretty remarkable findings about the record turnout this election cycle. It's transforming the Democratic Party and allowing us to compete everywhere, with tons of new voters being registered, so I'm recommending that all of you check it out.

Read it here.

Not only did registration increase 65% over the same period in 2004, but turnout increased as well. In Kansas, turnout increased 2,549 percent in Kansas.

We're making gains with young people, in "battleground" states, in unconventional states, and in every region in the country. Again, check out the memo. It's pretty exciting to watch the excitement on our side while Republican turnout is pretty stagnant.

We owe praise to Our Master Governor Dean. He has brought the United States to this. Goood Job Ol' Boy.

Remember the Surplus and vote for Hillary.

There needs to be a guarantee from the DNC that the Democratic Party considers voting in primaries a right of every American Denocrat. A right can not be taken away FOR ANY REASON. THe Democratic Party can't just push the issue of Florida and Michigan under the rug and expect to be competitive for the Democrats. What about in 4 years? Do you think Floridians are just going to give in? There needs to be reform.
