Heavy...heavy..heavy Dem turnout in WY - Shoud the GOP worry?
By Loadmaster Posted in 2008 — Comments (31) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
The MSM has been reporting ALL day that a big Dem turnout in WY gave Barrack Obama the win. It's been a big story all day. A bigger turnout than expected with more than 1000 NEW register Dem's since Jan 8th.
Here's the last snap shot I saw:
96% of the Caucus's reporting - Barrack Obama with 4,459 and the Monster with 3.081 total votes. Now if I can do the math:
4,459
3,081
_______
7,540 TOTAL WY DEM VOTES
Not bad for a state with 230,000+ total population. Where's the Cheney factor in this vote? Did the MSM see any trends. How about the exit polling. Maybe 10 polster's should be able to handle the turnout. I want to see Lutz's "independent" voters group...all 3 of them.
Per the MSM this was HUGE. I think NOT!

New voter registration can be a significant factor. More people on the Democratic lists for fund raising, for get out the vote efforts and to draw volunteers from.
That was the point flying over your head.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
See, this "huge" turnout in relatively tiny Wyoming is less than the population of my county, one of the smallest in Illinois. It makes a difference to Wyoming, but doesn't affect their electoral count in the slightest, and probably won't mean much even to Wyoming in the general.

No, I understood the irony of the post in regards to Wyoming's population.
I was responding to Neil's comment which I interpreted as being about the general election and thus more about the National picture.
"No, primary turnout is not predictive of the general election"
The Democrats have been turning out huge numbers in almost every state. It seems a good number of these are newly registered voters which is different than just getting your base out there.

skews results. And when they eat their own, sometimes there isn't anything more to help a pollster divine their intentions than the sound of the burp.
Luckily, the monster category is small, or at least those that cat out.
Most living monsters are in prison or on parole and can't vote.
The rest either don't vote or are seeking for others to vote for them.
Those in America are called politicians. Outside America they are called totalitarians.

It was intentional. My point was that the MSM has been running these numbers at the bottom of my TV..all day. I thought maybe something BIG had taken place. I know the folks in WY are proud but geezeee. Break in every 2 or 3 hrs but not every 15 sec..
This is a very Republican district. Bush won it in 2004 by 11.6%, and Dennis Hastert won it in 2006 (despite Foleygate and the Dem tidal wave) by 19.5%.
Now it is not even close. With 94% reporting, Democrat Bill Foster has won the district 53 to 47.
Also Obama picks up a new superdelegate.
This is a different topic, so I urge you to write about it in a separate diary, or an open thread on the front page.

I states with small populations it only takes 1 or 2 energetic activists to flip a state house seat, which might only have a population of 5,000 and only 2000 voters.
Otherwise I think we can safely write the state off as unimportant electorally.
Without Wyoming's three electoral votes, it is likely that Al Gore, gasp... cough... choke, would be wrapping-up his second term as President of the United States.

I guess they're just happy to be in the news! Kind of like (for those of us who grew up in a small town) when someone from your town was on the local news - it may be because of a crime or something bad, but still your town was on the news!!!
I doubt that the Wyoming dems are really thinking they'll deliver those 3 electoral votes to ClintObama...
are tired of hearing about Hillary for all these years. They, as at least half of the national Democrat voter turnout, may even feel a little liberated because they no longer need to defend the Clintons.
Wyoming - 2006 mid-term election: 257,715 registered voters.

I don't care if the entire state of Wymoing voted in the Democratic primary, Wyoming is not voting for a Democrat in the general election.
caucus on feb 5th. The Dem's outnumbered the Repubs' 19,000 to 9,000 in turnout. These numbers won't mean that North Dakota or Wyoming for that matter will go Dem in the Presidential election. But I do believe that they display a general weakness in the Republican Party. Red states are not as red as they were just 4 years ago. The Dem's have figured out a strategy in red states. They put up candidates that: support gun rights, oppose partial birth abortion, oppose same sex marriage and have "midwestern values". Put that together with a liberal ecomonic stance (pupulism) and you will be in office forever just like my two ND senators Dorgan and Conrad. They are Democrats in a red state and they will never lose an election in this state. Something for Republicans to think about!
