Ok. That's it. I'm calling it. It's gonna be an epic blowout.
   
Here's why:

Polls are always samples of a thousand, or two thousand 'likely' voters.

In the primaries, the GOP turned out about 19 million actual voters, in total, for all nine or ten of their candidates combined.

The Democrats turned out about 37 million actual voters.

A little over 18 million for Obama, slightly less for Mrs. Clinton.

Unless McCain flips eighteen million Democrats, this is going to be an epic blowout.

Little wonder the MSM, scions of the status quo, cheerleaders of our foreign policy disasters, are interested in getting you to think it's close.

I'm not buying it. Neither should you.

Oh my.

Immediately comes the Fat Che in the punchbowl:

1. Bad logic. No evidence that the number of primary voters is a good predictor of GE votes...
   
The lower turnout for the Republican primary is likely due to the fact that it was not dramatically contested until the bitter end...

6. Other than that people who vote in the primaries will probably vote in the general.
   
If someone is civic enough to vote in the primaries....it stands to reason they'll be the same people who show up on Nov 4....and you know it.

9. Nah...
   
The overwhelming democrat vote is reflective of the mood of the COUNTRY. There are far more democrat voters in 2008 than repug voters. That is simple statistics. Just about everything in our society today is controlled by the administration in power. Even the polls.

The only way a McCain win will deflect an all-out civil war is to pretend that the vote is close.

The vote is NOT EVEN CLOSE!! There are 2 and a half dem voters to every repug voter.

2. First time in history that my county ran out of Democratic ballots.
   
I agree with you. I think it's going to be a blowout. I PRAY it's going to be a blowout. I'm hoping for a reverse 1972 with McCain only getting one state.

3. I dunno. I am sure there are a lot of people who do not vote in the primaries but who do show up for the GEs. And then, of course, there's the election theft bit.

Hmmmm.  The greedy primitive must be referring to the big city political machines, in this "theft" bit.

It may be a blowout, alright, davey my lad, but perhaps not in the way you think...

 

[Lauri]

they ramped it up in seattle's primary this week as a 'huge voter turnout' but in reality only 35% of the electorate voted..

so, in moonbatville seattle, only 35% of the voters bothered to make their voices heard. and guess what, almost every race was close, just like the presidential race right now.

how on earth do the DUmmies think the GOP is controlling every single state's elections this year? my God, I wish we had the power they believe we do..

unbelievable..

[Lauri]

Dream on, DUmmies.

The wheels are off of Hussiens wagon.  He looks more and more like a whiny little socialist bitch.

i still dont think Hilary is done.. she is awfully quiet of late, and her name is on the ballot in Denver.

anything could still happen

They are getting closer to hysterics in their efforts to make themselves BELIEVE that Obama is to be coronated in November.

Truth of course regardless of the op complete stupidity (imagine that on DU ) is that Obama should be doing better...lots better right now and he isn`t.

They should be like a bunch of rabid howler monkeys by the time the conventions are over and their saviour is behind in the polls.

If by "Blow Out" he means that countless DUchebags and Libs are going to have pureed brain matter flying out of their ears when McCain wins and their heads explode, he may be right.

I'm still guessing the Great Discombobulation's going to happen before the election.

I have no idea the nature of this pending Great Discombobulation, but I sense it'll happen sometime between Labor Day and the fourth week of October, before the election.

Primitive cerebral matter, whatever it is, should be splattering all over.

I would have voted in the primary, but my life was in such an uproar that I couldn't. To discount the GE due to a lack of participation in the primaries is just inane.  I WILL be casting my vote in the GE.

Dream on, DUmmies.

      I predict that early November will be one of the great times in American history, because we will have averted the disaster of an Obamohammad Administration, and we will witness the greatest explosion of anger in the history of DU. It will be SWEET.

Many, many screencaps will be taken.  (At least I hope they will be!)  They will be donated to "Teh Rove" wing of the VRWC Museum.

Not to mention all of the screencaps of DUmmies swearing they'll 'bust a cap in that jack-booted, fascist flyboy' themselves which will be ever so quietly filed away for future reference with the US Secret Service.

One thing this DUmbshit is forgetting is the "Limbaugh Factor" a.k.a. "Operation Chaos". How many Republicans went in the booth and voted for Hillary?

Do you REALLY think they'll be voting for Obamessiah in the General?
