What do you feel the number of actual voters there will be ?
I saw all sorts of bumper stickers in 2000 and 2004 . In 2006 they vanished . It's 2008 and I don't see any at all again .

Do you feel many people just gave up after we were burned again in 2006 midterms with all the promises now broken ?

Are bumper stickers out these days ?

I hear all about many voters in these primaries but what exactly does this reflect ?

I look at this and have to wonder what the GE turnout will be because voting in primaries does not seal a deal for voting in the GE .

Personally I am at the point where I just don't give a damn anymore , I know this contradicts my post here but it is a question I ask just to get feed back from others here .

I fully expect to get burned once again no matter who wins and this is provided there is still an election , I can't rule this out as a possibilty not the way things have become . I can't rule out fixed elections if they do happen either . Lots of time left before Nov and as anyone can see things change for the worst almost every single day .

I post this for this subject only . It is not for who feels who is the next best thing since sliced bread .

1. depends on the candidates

McCain-Clinton... probably the same as last time

republicans are not thrilled with Mccain, and only the rabid hillary-haters will bother to vote.. the independents probably sit this one out...turned off obama supporters (especially after SC) may stay home in protest




Mccain-Obama...maybe double the turnout

republicans may feel obligated to vote ..to avoid a blowout...but the independents & obama supporters would want a big mandate...

2. I hang out in the Election Reform forum.
We hunt for voting and election news.

All over the country, election boards are freaking out over the overwhelming new voter registrations. No kidding. If you do a news search for "voter registration", you see what I mean.
