"Democrats post big gains in voter registration"
(apologies if this was posted before)

"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."

"In Pennsylvania, the Democrats have added 375,000 voters since 2006 while the Republicans have lost 117,000."

"Graham finds a potential voter at the first house she stops at. Justin Webb, a father of two, is unregistered, but tells Graham he has serious concerns about the economy.
"We need more jobs," said Webb, 28. "If we had more jobs, we would have more opportunities to better ourselves."
It takes Graham less than five minutes to register Webb as a Democrat."

1. Heartwarming. We must do neighbor-to-neighbor contact and voter registration.
