The Democrats appear to be gaining the upper hand in the battle to sign up new voters in the all-important swing states, an Associated Press analysis suggests.

The AP analysis of the most up-to-date figures from across the country found that the Democrats have registered more new voters than the Republicans have in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and New Hampshire, while the GOP has done better in Iowa and appears to be holding its own in Florida.

Florida registration tallies from more than half the counties show that the Republicans and the Democrats are virtually tied in the race to increase their share of voters in the state that decided the presidential election four years ago. In those counties, the Republicans have signed up just a few thousand more.

As for the two other big prizes among the swing states — Pennsylvania and Ohio — Pennsylvania's numbers are too scant to draw any conclusions, and Ohio does not register voters by party.

1. I have another yahoo article from a month ago that says

dems outregistered repubs 60% to 12%. I guess the white washing has begun.

2. What bullcrap is this re: PA??

I have heard figures pointing to massive registrations in PA? Let me guess, Nedra Pickler wrote this?

6. PA's numbers are partial and based on a few counties

but still, look at the percents. The dem one is higher.

14. Da swami knows all, 'eh?

A shot of jyoti cures all!

[shivaji]

16. Should I assume you are familiar with the events of 2000

in Florida? Ofcourse swami knows more because he has a Masters
degree from U of Iowa, the bastion of progressive thinking.
That is probably higher than you may have achieved? Just my
wild ass assumption.

17. 'Ya know what they say when one assumes? 'Eh, wild one?

4. What's up with that 'gaining the upper hand' shit?

We've HAD the upper hand since the beginning of the freakin' year. Never underestimate a pissed off Democrat. Hear me, Georgie? We're BOUNCING YOUR ASS IN TWO WEEKS!!!

Sorry for all the noise...

7. AP had a typo for Iowa. WE are ahead

here's the correrted info

snip

In Iowa, Democrats have registered 42,074 more of their supporters than the GOP — this in a state Bush lost by just over 4,000 votes.

10. Good. I thought that seemed odd.

15. Gore won that state

because of absentee/mail in ballots...and apparently the state partymachine has been working well to get them out this time. I heard that a lot more democrats had requested these ballots already.

Bush actually got more votes from those that actually voted that day.

I'll try to find the numbers. The registration numbers were also very encouraging. Republicans have an advantage in registration numbers but it has eroded over the last few years. Dems have had a huge voter outreach there.

8. AAR today: 700,000 new registrations in Ohio - 2/3 of them Dem

Sydney Blumenthal said it.

11. 2/3 Dems???

How was this determined if Ohio does not register by party affiliation?

[StupidFOX]

12. They were so excited...

that they wrote DEMOCRAT (SCREW BUSH) all over the forms }(

9. new registrants

It's great to see that the DNC has more new registrants. But while they already had the majority of voters in the 2000 elections, there is still no guarantee of a win next month if the vote count is rigged!
