NV + SC = Huge Win For The Democratic Party

Oh sure, McCain won the Republican primary in South Carolina and Hillary/Barack won the vote/delegates in Nevada, but like Iowa and New Hampshire, the big victory was for the Democratic party. While Chris Matthews predicts McCain will call Nancy Reagan for her anointment powers this morning, the true story is that with the way this is going, Republicans do not stand a chance in the fall. This isn't just opinion, the numbers back us up with full faith and credit.

From Democrats.org:

In 2000 McCain took 237,888 votes in South Carolina. Tonight he has just over half those number of votes with 134,474 as I write this. Republican turnout will be well below where it was in 2000. More than 100,000 votes short. With five Republican primaries, Rudy Giuliani has half the number of votes of Ron Paul.

Face it, the enthusiasm for the Grand Old Elephant is going, going, gone. And while their operatives look for ways to divide Democrats (fear, racism, bigotry, etc) their own base has deep fissures when it comes to McCain. Word on the street is that he doesn't hate brown people enough and...gasp.....hates Jack Bauer and his freedom-loving torture. Maybe RedState or FreeRepublic will report that he is trying to keep the writers strike going so that "24" will have no new shows......ever!

So the Repubs can try whatever they want, but the voters will ultimately decide, and the way they are casting their ballots so far, even Reagan would be astonished at the turnout this come November.
