The presidential primaries in 2000 gave us lackluster choices in races that were already decided: Gore v. Larouche and Bush v. Alan Keyes. How many people would choose a primary based on those irrelevant races when there were local races at stake in the same primaries?

In fact Al Gore got more votes (214,541) than all the Republican presidential candidates combined. And yet Bush won the state easily in November. The fact that the Democrats turned out almost as many voters as Republicans does not bode well for them. History tells us that Democrats almost always tunrout more voters for their contested presidential primaries, but the Republican candidate easily carries the state. These numbers suggest a blow-out for the Republican presidential candidate in November.

I do now, and those are the #'s it is reporting. We are hearing that voter participation is up all around. If you get any solid indication that those are not the correct #'s, let me know. Keep me honest! I think an increase like that is in keeping with increased participation across the state though. Thanks! Sorry, didn’t have the link up to the site with the #’s like I intended.
