  •  Has anyone else noticed that we have had over 3x (1+ / 0-)

    as many people turn out for the primary for CD 011, than the Republicans have had for CD 008, and they have twice as many registered voters?  Is that a sign of things to come...that they are not going to turn out?  That they really are disgusted with their party?  Or is it just wishful thinking?

    •  8th district is ridiculously blue (1+ / 0-)

      8th District was gerrymandered to be extraordinarily blue.  So nobody has a chance against Moran, comments about why we are in Iraq or no.

      11th District was gerrymandered red (they took Republicans out of Moran's district and put them in Davis's in 2000) but it's a part of the state that is only slightly red now - Davis won 60/40 against generic no-name no-campaign Democrat in 2004 and that was the closest it had been for him - and in 2006 I think it will be closer than that - probably 55/45 or so.  Hurst doesn't have much of a chance but has a better chance than the sucker against Moran in VA-8 especially since Davis has like a 120% rate of voting with Bush and nobody likes Bush.

      •  thanks...I'm in PA, so I don't know the districts (0+ / 0-)

        but our turn-out seems to be much higher than theirs...
