MSNBC via NBC News reporting that it 60% turnout is.....

[PROGRESSIVE1]

most likely.

I hope this is so. If it is, then Kerry will get well over 51%!

1. And yet, it's a bit sad that that number is so far from 100%, eh?

2. We're expecting 85% participation in Oregon

We got 80% last time.

Entire state is vote-by-mail, with exceptions for the disabled. It's an extremely efficient system, not subject to last-minute dirty tricks.

9. I love our vote-by-mail system - I wish other states would use it! ...

I just saw Bill Bradbury on TV and he looked really pleased by turnout. I'm sure we'll hit 85%!!!

3. how about

100% in blue and purple states, and 1% in red states?

would that be 60%

4. Do we have any existing analysis of turnout and its affect on the popular?

What is the threshold number where a Kerry victory seems likely?

5. I heard 110 million

7. If turnout if 60%, then Kerry wins.
