1. Not enough - we need 70+ |
|
In my town in NJ we had 80+ in 1992, the most ever and if you remember, a year when people were very upset with the status quo. 63% is no big deal and not much help for us.

3. He was 5 points off for the primary and my hunch is he is at least 5 |
|
points off on this election too. Do his predictions have anything to do with how many ballots are printed? I sure hope not. I will be checking with the campaign people tomorrow. He is such a weasel.

65% is usually a terrific number for anyone but in 1992 when we had over 80% vote in my town (approx 9,000 registered) it was so high that I continued to expect it in subsequent pres elections but in 96 and 00 it was much less, probably around 60.

The Blunt family could be our version of the Bush family. Not a complement.

6. This is also based on a registration of 98% eligible voters in |
|
Missouri. There is no way that 98% of the eligible voters are registered and the figure must include several hundred thousand voters who are double registered when moving.
A figure of 63% would likey be closer to 75% if based on actual eligible voters.

7. When I first heard that 98%, I thought they must be talking about Chicago. |
|
This election is going to be wild.

8. The K.C. Star did an article on the registration numbers this week. |
|
Interestingly most of the double registrations are in St. Louis and Kansas City. It might end up like Chicago and that would not break my heart.

My take on this is that since Missouri is pretty much presumed to go Bush, turnout will take a bit of a hit there.
But I'd bet good money that turnout rates in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan, and Nevada are all going to be sky-high.
