73% more voters participated in Democratic primaries and caucuses
than in repub ones. If you don't see what this means, you're not looking.

It means that democrats are far more energized than repubs

It means that independents are breaking heavily for democrats

It means that the democratic nominee starts with a big advantage

1. Or it could also mean Repubs crossed over to vote Dem.

The claim is they want our "weakest" candidate.


I realize you can't do that in all states.

2. no. only a small number of people are actually that politically
driven. You're making the common error of projecting your own strong political feelings onto others. Most people just aren't remotely like those of us posting here. Politics isn't an obsession with the vast majority of the voting public.

5. Yeah, hearing at my job.....would you like to join me???
Well Cali, maybe YOU make things up...but I don't.
I don't give a shit what you don't like.
Try doing some reading at right wing sites if you think they aren't crossing over.

6. lol. hearing from people at your job is your evidence?
Lame, lame, lame. And I've read a lot of right wing sites, and you're completely wrong. It's clear you simply do pull things out of your tin foil hat. Thanks for demonstrating it, pookie.

8. aww, poor little you
having to resort to copycatting. Pathetic. Try actually making a substantive argument as to why the statistics re voting patterns, are unimportant.

9. What the hell is wrong with you?
I guess I should have clarified my post a little better.
I'm not saying what you stated isn't true, I'm stating from what I've read and heard, I believe some repubs crossed over and voted democrat.

Why does that piss you off?

10. the key for democrats
will be to ensure that unity emerges, lest that number be cut in half due to acrimony between the two camps.
