1. Not to worry... all those pesky Dem voters will be CAGED! n/t

[LisaM]

2. A lot of those were crossover voters

It's not as if the state has that many Democrats.

[Zynx]

3. Almost 1.2 million voted in 2006 for our Senate candidate.

[Joe the Revelator]

4. You're kidding right?

VA is flush with Democratic voters.

[LisaM]

7. I'm not saying there aren't Democratic voters in Virginia

Obviously, there are. I'm simply saying that a number of people who voted in the Democratic primary in Virginia today weren't Democrats, that's all.

[Roland99]

6. Well, they're voting for the Dems nearly 2:1 over Republicans.

[SaveAmerica]

11. That doesn't make sense, isn't the number taken from the # of

of registered dems and republicans who voted, not who they voted for?

5. Rachel Maddow calls turnout the "sleeper issue" of the campaign

Turnout is what saved us from Rove's numbers in '06.

8. democratic turnout is a really, really good sign for the GE.

i'm watching it with my daughter and she's like "Wow, look at how many more people are voting for democrats!"

9. Think, people, think! What does this really mean?

Most of those crossover voters were voting AGAINST Hillary...not FOR Obama.
People are not reading the tea leaves correctly IMHO.

I would hope that the Dems would change to all CLOSED primaries and stop letting others choose our candidates for us.

[Roland99]

13. What proof do you have of this? If they want to vote against her, why not vote McCain or Huck?

[MickeyVA]

10. I wouldn't read too much into it

The numbers go down during primaries when the presumptive nominee emerges.

[Roland99]

12. But this bodes very well for the general election. We're seeing this 2:1 at least in EVERY state!

I love it!!

[Roland99]

14. 2004 Dem Primary: 396,223 votes. 2008 Dem Primary: 510,000 votes at only 64% counted!!!

:D :D

15. Still a lot of Fairfax to come in. That could be 800,000 before the night is over.
