Reply #21: Obama fuels unprecedented and NEW turnout...

[CoffeeCat]

...that's exactly right.

I just posted about this.

I don't think the media did a good job of communicating what happened in Iowa. I know
I live in a small, fly-over state, but does everyone realize what happened during the Iowa
caucus.

Iowa Dem voter turnout increased by 100 percent, from 2004. And 2004 was a record year.

Iowa Republican voter turnout was flat.

Ok, people---I can barely contain myself as I type this. What happens during a General Election...
when Dem voter turnout increases 100 percent ???? Not only do we win, we cream them
seven ways to Sunday.

It's absolutely chilling and mind blowing.

And yes--Dem turnout increased due to a variety of factors. However, Obama won Iowa handily
and he won in nearly every single precinct . Hillary came in third. Much of that
high turnout and new-voter turnout was due to Obama.

If we extrapolate these numbers onto the GE---it will be a blowout win for the Dems.

I don't care what the polls say now about McCain/Obama match-ups. America has not yet
experienced the full force of the Obama campaign.
