3. Close

2004 9,000

2008 107,000 another report was 117,000 but it was definitely 2008 not 2007

4. This is great

I'm not sure people are grasping how big this turnout thing is.
Voters are paying attention and getting out and voting. Maybe people aren't getting the support they want for their particular candidate.....oh well.
But this is looking very good longterm for the party..

sort of like us in Michigan.

14. Not enought to select all their delegates...

people were no-shows...

it was pretty pathetic - that's why you don't hear a THING about it...

7. I dunno

those numbers are almost too large, especially in a heavily GOP state.

This is not a joke, in the rurals there were precints where there was over 50% turnout. In Fallon over 1000 people showed up.

And Obama won that precinct? That's just wild.
