9,000 turned out in 2004.

1. Incredible. (nt)

2. That's amazing. :)

3. 60,000 in culinary union alone.

Hmmm.

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. I'm sure not all the 60,000

are registered Democrats.

Although, I don't even know if you have to be registered to vote in a caucus. I'm not sure how that works.

8. Yes you do, but you can register onsite.

Saw that posted earlier this week.

:hi:

6. It doesn't mean they all caucus n/t

4. Definitely an improvement.

But it still seems awfully low to me.

from Wiki: According to the Census Bureau's 2006 estimate, Nevada has an estimated population of 2,495,529

7. Wonder what the eligible voting population is.

Over 18, non-incarcerated, citizens.

And how many registered Dem.

9. I agree. I think the time between getting onto people's "radar" and the action

in which you're soliciting their participation is still TOO short.

The 50 State Strategy is still in its infancy. Democrats need to be active in their homes 365 days a year, every year. Hopefully Labor (amongst many others) will step up to this responsibility. It's the only way we stand a chance against Fascisto "Christian" Evangelical church cartels.

10. Link? Source?

NGU.

11. That's fantastic!

People are fired up about the dem race, and it shows by turnout. No matter who our nominee may be, let's hope this momentum lasts all the way through November.
