That's the margin in the primaries so far this year. If someone could find out total caucus participation it would balloon.

2. So far yes.
Primary participation is always kinda weak. We had 16 million the whole season in 2004.

3. Those are 60:40 numbers. Landslide!
Just elect the candidate you want to represent you in the landslide. We've been accumulating eight years of political capital. Spend it wisely, because it's not often you get to ride the pendulum at peak velocity in the favored direction.

Quiet! As soon as MSM picks up on this
they'll push even harder to toe the right-wing line. We have to keep this our little secret or this will be like Obama being way up in New Hampshire in polls. Then they'll pull the rug out from under us.

5. Oh yes. I'm not even sure that this indicates anything, but it is a little difficult to ignore.
In 2000, they swamped us in total primary votes. In 2004, we didn't have this many for the whole race.
