Democrats Registering In Record Numbers

1 Million New Voters For Last 7 Primaries

RALEIGH, N.C. -- They lined up shoulder to shoulder inside the gray high-rise downtown, their politics as diverse as their backgrounds. An ex-felon who needs health insurance, followed by a high school student seeking empowerment, followed by a Marine Corps veteran who wants to prevent his country from crumbling.

Like hundreds of others, their quests led them to the Wake County voter services office this month to register as Democrats for the first time. The line of newcomers that snaked across the checkered tile floor was emblematic of those that have formed across the country this year: black voters, young voters, lifelong Republicans switching parties -- all registering in record numbers, and all aligning as Democrats.

Elections Director Cherie Poucher waited for them behind a counter with a jar of pens and a 10-inch stack of registration forms. She had hired 10 people from a temp agency to help handle the rush on this final day of North Carolina voter registration. Now, as she watched four more people file through the door, Poucher wished she had hired more.

"In 20 years," she said, "I've never seen anything quite like it."

The past seven states to hold primaries registered more than 1 million new Democratic voters; Republican numbers mainly ebbed or stagnated. North Carolina and Indiana, which will hold their presidential primaries on May 6, are reporting a swell of new Democrats that triples the surge in registrations before the 2004 primary.

Don't you ever puke from being so full of yourself? :sarcasm:

If you believe that -- that any anti-Clinton statement is a priori bullshit -- then clearly you are delusional, and no one has any need to listen to anything you have to say, let alone watch you act out as an insane person in a fugue state on your cable access tv show.

:sarcasm: :evilgrin:

:hi: :hug:

I've never seen this much activity in NC during a primary. We Democrats here usually drag ourselves out and vote almost in slow motion. This year, it has been like a busy little town bustling with activity. The energy is almost visible to the nekkid eye.

some -- actually many -- on the Obama side want to stop the election.

They don't want to count all of the votes!! (Can you say Y2K?)

You know, you'd hate to have too many people register as Democrats because that could cost McCain the White House and we don't want that, errrr, I mean, errrrrr :eyes:

And make 'em count EVERY vote!

48 = Illegitimate nominee!

48 = death to Democracy...OBAMA!"Ba-rok-bok-bok-bok-bok!" "Ba-rok-bok-bok-bok-bok!"
Scared to count votes as well...

I just think it has been set up bad for every one. I liked the plan to do it in 4 big blocks around the country with each of those blocks taking turns who would go first. We, as voter, would be better off and would not get so sick of the endlessness of it. For some odd reason this seems like the first time we could have our say. I know that is really not the facts but it seems to have been taken out of the back room for some reason. I can understand why people have come out for that reason plus I do not think many like how the country is going. We seem to be going back to the 1880's and the whole class vs. rich thing.

:rofl:

That's going to help a LOT come November.

You keep trying to comfort yourself with the reality that Clinton is killing our party on purpose.

Look at all of the the new Democrats we're registering because of this interesting primary.

Why would you be against any of this?

Enough of the drama about how Hillary staying in the race won't give Democrats enough time to go after McCain.

I don't subscribe to that, and I know I'm not alone.

I hate cynics and I hate opportunists. The woman I once deeply respected is obviously both.

If that's what it takes to count all the votes.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing citizens exercising their democratic rights.

:kick:

...

A fact you fail to understand.

registering as Democrats and would theoretically vote as, **hello** Democrats!!!

They would vote for the nominee and against McCain -- helping the Democrats win the White House!

Tragically, instead of using your head, you're more concerned about being divisive.

A fact you fail to understand.

Those that used to be GOP but came over because of Obama.... will go back to GOP if he's not our nominee.


Those that are new voters.... will go back to being non-voters if Hillary steals this by overturning the pledged delegates and/or popular vote.


60% of those new voters will NOT vote for Hillary..... that's the answer to your "who cares?" argument.

It's her constant use of Rethug FRAMING that is the problem.

thousands of people registering to defeat John McCain.

--repeat Rethug bullshit. We had a lot of people register in 2004 as well, remember? That fucking Gephardt Osama ad not only brought down Dean, it damaged Kerry in the general as well.

rev. wright and his inflammatory rhetoric is going to have a much more harmful long term effect on the Democratic party than anything HRC is currently doing.

this thing aint over. HRC is a fighter. The superdels will see this in the end. HRC gives us the best (the ONLY) chance to win in Nov

It's great for the party (though I don't like some of the tenor).
