When is the last time more Republicans than Democrats voted in the primaries leading up to an off-year election?


No shit. 1926. When the primaries finally, mercifully, end Saturday some 4,500,000 more Rs than Ds will have voted for the first time in almost a century. Still think O'Donnell is unelectable? Angle??

let me rephrase.

Who was Herbert Hoover, who followed an equally ineffective Coolidge who presided over the great depression, after Republican presidents and policies since 1901?  and why would they do that?

In order for that statement to make sense, one must know how many on both sides ran without an opponent.

First, in sourcing your facts it is incumbent on you to provide quotes, citations, valid links, etc..

But I did copy and paste your purported source exactly as you wrote it.

Nothing there.

Care to try again?

I don't see any reason to believe that is abnormal as compared to other offyear elections.

Here's what makes sense: the enthusiasm gap. 0bama0 has suppressed his entire party.

yawn. Go watch it. Or not. Find a source that disputes what I said. Or not.
Telling me what/how to post just isn't going to be fruitful.

Shit, Tazzy, how many incumbents are running unopposed in the general? Aren't gerrymandered "safe" seats fun?

Status: offline 		Thats what you are interested in. When i hear a claim that primary turn outs are low, i want to know the why behind it. Is it that Dems are disenfranchised? Are GOP voters ambivelent? Does either party have unopposed canidates that would, understandbly, produce a lower primary voter turn out?

You can assume anything you want. But, if you cannot answer the questions, then you really dont know.

I wouldn't give those questions much relevance either.
