Good News For Democrats (Cross-post from GD:P)

[berni_mccoy]

If mods feel this should be restricted to GD:P, I'm fine with that. I'm only cross-posting as suggested in the thread from GD:P

As reported by the Oregon Democratic Party, over 47% of Democrats, that's 408,683 Democrats, have voted in the Oregon Democratic Primary as of yesterday. Over 100,000 more Democrats have already voted in the Oregon Democratic Primary than did in the 2004 Primary. Granted, during the 2004 Primary, it was pretty much over by this point, but here is the really good news:

In January of 2008, there were 764,255 registered Democrats. As of April, there were 869,538. That's an increase of over 100,000 new Democrats. Compared to the Republicans, who had 687,898 in January and have actually declined by 10,000 voters to 676,895 as of April.

Oregon has a mail-in-ballot voting system. Registered voters have until 8 PM today for their ballots to be received at the county elections office. Since it's too late to mail today, voters may drop off their ballots at their local county election office.

The Republicans are in deep trouble. This is going to be a very good year for Democrats.

1. YES! Oregon Dems for Obama

This is why Obama will win: Democratic registrations are far outpacing Republican ones.

When you posted the text, GD <colon> P, in invoked the smiley of the guy sticking his tongue out. It's been awhile since I've seen anything that's that appropriate! Please don't edit that out.

Edit: Did you do that on purpose?
