[charlie and algernon]

Looking for a news source to confirm it, but just got this email from an obama staffer in PA:


Numbers Don’t Lie: Obama campaign registers more than 200,000 Voters since June
Sen. Bob Casey to host conference call with reporters to discuss implications of voter registration and other numbers that tell story in Pennsylvania



PHILADELPHIA – The Pennsylvania Obama campaign announced today that since June it was responsible for 204,135 of the new voters who registered before the October 6 deadline. Sen. Casey and Obama State Director Craig Schirmer will hold a conference call with reporters to discuss the implications of these numbers as well as some other important numbers that have emerged in recent weeks.

3. McCain should stay in PA.

Every day he campaigns there, he can't defend a red state. And he won't win PA.

[RubyDuby in GA]

4. 205K in GA!

Happy days are almost here again!

11. Check out the news in NC:

Of note:

Of North Carolina's 603,000 new voters this year, 48 percent are Democrats and 21 percent Republicans. Nearly a third are independents.

By comparison, in 2004, Democrats made up 39 percent of new voters and Republicans, 34 percent.

Among the trends:


African Americans, who make up about 22 percent of the state's population, account for more than 30 percent of new voters.


Five counties – Mecklenburg, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford and Wake – account for more than a third of all new registrations.


Nearly 210,000 new voters are 18 to 24. Only one in five registered Republican.

New registrations appear to be one reason Obama has moved into a virtual tie with McCain in recent N.C. polls.

15. You were planning to be here for the McCain victory party I bet?

Decided to flame out and expose yourself early? Just wanted to let you know the next Republican speaker of the house is in second grade right now :rofl:

[mike_c_56]

18. No...McCain has

been "toast" for a while. Barack can win straight up. ACORN won't be needed.

[AllentownJake]

19. ACORN has no affiliation with the Obama Campaign sir

and the Obama campaign has registered more voters than Acorn.

23. I'm a neighborhood team leader

and I split my time in one of the poorest neighborhoods in my county. I've seen no one from Acorn at our offices or on the street working with our campaign. The Obama campaign would prefer all registrations go throught their offices for GOTV purposes. So unless you have evidence of coordination please kindly shut up.

31. You shouldn't believe

everything you read on the internet.

[Political Heretic]

10. IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER WHEN 400,000 VOTERS ARE PURGED!!!

This is where we need to be paying attention.

[AllentownJake]

16. IN PA?

The only purging that goes on is people who haven't voted in 5 years.

[Patiod]

29. And even then....

I got a list of voters once, and there was my old boyfriend, who had long since moved to California.

Plus we have Fast Eddie Rendell, and no way is he going to allow Dems to be purged...

[AllentownJake]

32. I wonder what Cabinet Post Fast Eddie is aiming for

or if he's looking toward Specter's senate seat.

[Schulzz]

12. I've seen a great county by county comparison:

[charlie and algernon]

14. that's perfect

I especially love seeing the new large dark blue patch in east central PA around the Lehigh Valley. That's exactly the place you want to see large numbers of new Dems.

[occe]

17. Looking good

:thumbsup: thanks for sharing

[Marnieworld]

28. what do the colors mean?

I live in PA and I'd like to know.

[Schulzz]

34. I don't have the exact numbers, but...

Dark blue: Far more Democrats than Republicans registered (not new registrations, but all registrations)
Light blue: More Democrats than Republicans registered
Yellow: About the same number of Democrats and Republicans registered
Pink: More Republicans than Democrats registered
Red: Far more Republicans than Democrats registered

A lot of counties went "bluer" in the last 2 years.

[grandpappy]

33. Where did they get that information from?

Northwest counties; Erie county and Crawford county are republican strong holds, with an idiot English as our rep. Part of Mercer is republican also. There might be a large increase of new voter registration in these counties But these counties have been voting Republican since I can remember. A lot of dems in the 2 northwest counties will go for McCain, they voted for Bush last 2 times.

These counties are rural, small towns with the exception of a few cities between 15,000-20,000 people in them and than there is Erie. These counties are favorite sons of the NRA. What ever the the NRA says alot of voters there will vote republican.

Plus some of these counties haven't been hit as hard as some parts of the state with the housing crunch. Daughter works for a bank as loan offier and she said the other day they are still making home loans every day.

[Hope And Change]

20. K & R!

[wowimthere]

21. we're fine as long as they stay registered

[gauguin57]

25. Lancaster County, PA, is one of the reddest counties you'll find, and just recently ...

... the 100,000th registered Democrat registered to vote here. For the first time ever, 100,000 registered Democrats in a Republican-hell county.

[Lugnut]

27. Yeeeaaarrrggghhh!

That's great news!

[Leeny]

30. GoBama! GoBama! GoBama!
