How much effect do you think newly registered voters will have?

1. If they get to the polls in significant numbers...

2. enough to make it a

LANDSLIDE!

6. New voters for Kerry

I believe a significant majority of new voters have registered because of the Bush debacle. They are highly motivated to vote.

I've been feeling landslide for about two weeks...I still am nervous as hell though

3. It will make history!!!!

4. I'll take the Carville/Greenberg line: 7% of the electorate.

5. really I think it will be big...

I think with all the attention this has been given for being a "close" race..those that did register will do their best to go vote...I don't doubt that most that registered did it for a reason..SO they could vote..

NOW they want to suppress the vote so they are saying Bush has it in the bag...

7. Gives us a 5.2% edge according to the GOP pollsters at

Fabrizio McLaughlin (when combined with projected turnout):

The good stuff is halfway down the page, btw.

8. If the turnout is like they're saying--more voters than since WWII--

I think it will have an incredible impact. Think about it, do you know anyone who ISN'T voting? I feel very encouraged by those who have never voted and those who voted for Nader in 2000 who are now going to vote for Kerry--and there's a LOT of them.

9. HUGE.

There has been a more significant rise in new registrations over the past two months than there has been in living memory. I wish to believe that this is happening because there is a groundswell of "Anybody but BUSH" people, and because there are so many more GOTV organizations this time.

Americans did not like having their votes WASTED in 2000. Let's hope that they WILL NOT STAND FOR IT in 2004!


GO KERRY, GO!!!
