Nationwide, there are about 42 million registered Democrats and about 31 million Republicans, according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press. The Democrats have posted big gains in many competitive states, including Nevada, New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado and Florida. They have also been targeting historically Republican southern states.

Since 2006, the Democrats have added 167,000 voters in North Carolina, while the Republicans have added 36,000. The Democrats' biggest voter registration goal is in Georgia, where the Obama campaign hopes to register 500,000 voters before the election, said Dean, who has spent the past month traveling the country on a voter registration bus tour.

Did you listen to Hilliary's speech... ONLY a small percentage of people are changing...

My mother was upset when Obama did not choose HRC as his running mate-- She decided to vote for McCain-- That was UNTIL he choose Palin-- She was so appalled that McCain would have a woman that does not support women's issues-- She now has an Obama Biden bumpersticker on her car!!!

Palin was a HUGE slap in the face to HRC supporters as she goes against EVERYTHING HRC stands for!!!

Obama stands for HRC's issues... 4 more years of McBush will destroy the U.S.

If you want WWIII vote GOP...

Frankly, HRC supporters not with Obama now are from operation chaos. They were not democrats to be begin with.

There are no HRC supporters who are not backing Obama. And HRC said it best... "Were you actually supporting me?"

Think about this... And her supporters listened. HRC is a big part of our party.

GOP tried to use HRC to pump the base... eh eh. Then they picked Palin and now they have Palin McCain instead of McCain Palin... Too bad! You can't have your cake and eat it!

There are only, what, about a million of the HRC supporters left who say they won't vote for Obama. Some of them will vote for him when it comes time to vote. As for the rest of of us, the 17,000,000 Hillary supporters who vote based on our intellect, and not our emotions, we are supporting Obama and the Democratic Party. We are out walking our neighborhoods and registering voters.

All you do is blog with the PUMAs and other crybabys and troll the DNC site. That is why you are clueless.

PUMA? LOL. Operation chaos...deja vu! They were not Democrats. The leader contributed to McCain and GOP in 2000 and 2004.

PUMA raised $500 for HRC! That was support? Give me a break! You have this angry lady looking as if suffering from depression call herself leader of PUMA.

She contributed $500 to McCain just equal to the amount she and her few angry ladies contributed to HRC. Think!

who have never voted are finally getting involved because they are hearing a message in Obama that they have never heard from a politician...
  
We have a huge edge registration wise

But beware the GOP is already resorting to "voter caging" techniques. There are reports of it in Ohio!
