According to my not so humble opinion and calculations....

if 10% of the people marching today turn out to vote next election, along with our normal turnout, we'll flip the house and senate.

Assuming some are from red districts. We've had some impressive numbers coming from red states.

A guy can hope.

but every person I know who is at the march DID vote - includng the 5 from my Ohio family. (In other words - they are already part of "our normal turnout&quot

Is there some reason you believe they are new to politics since the election?

It's nice to see all thiese people show up to march- but they were likely already "on the bus".

I saw multiple threads about the 12,000 who showed up at the march in OKC-- but, that is literally the "1%" of population in the Oklahoma City MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area).

I guess I'll have to join you on the "Debbie Downer" roster...
