50% turn out.
That is what I saw on CNN-50% turn out in North Carolina. This tops the most previous by about 20%.

THAT is why I want this to go on so long. 50% turn out.

Oh and if you are just going to come in here to complain about Senator Clinton not doing whatever you want her to do (drop out, get stuffed, lose, go to hell, whatever), kindly STFU. Thank you.

This is a thread celebrating massive turn out, not a candidate.

6. My thoughts exactly
The Republican party could be in a position to lose almost everything this fall. As bad as their record is on the War and on corruption, their record on the economy is worse.

11. And that is precisely what they should be doing...
the loss in November will be historic.

Not just the WH, but congress will be a disaster for them, they will not recover for a generation.

9. Obviously it's Clinton that brings out Democratic voters, since Obama is soooo unelectable.

12. Learn to comprehend. This is about turnout not about bashing another candidate.

They want a president who will fight for them. They want a real Democratic president. They want Obama.

17. That is awesome
made all the more awesome by the fact that a significant portion of the republic turnout came to vote for Huckabee and Ron Paul.
