Yepsen: Increase in registrations bodes well for Iowa Dems

We have some new leaves to read in the Iowa political teacup.

Democrats have pulled ahead of Republicans in voter registrations in Iowa � the first time that's happened since 1994, according to state registration records.

A year ago, the GOP still led the Democrats. This change is another signal that 2006 could be a bad year for the Republicans.

As of Aug. 1, there were 606,168 active registered Democrats in Iowa and 590,165 Republicans. There were 724,925 no-party registrants, also known as independents.

1. Hurray! This is an advance

and will help in reinstating democracy. Remember also Iowa is first in the nation with a caucus in 2006.
