Anyone have some ideas on this? Even in Florida Democrats only had 83% as many voters as republicans. While it was a caucus state, Ron Paul had even more votes then Hillary in Nevada. (and she won with over 50%)

Possibly because of Ron Paul, lol! I was a democrat before switching to vote for him. :)

Well, the welfare kings/queens are probably too busy popping out more babies and drinking more beer ;)

The democratic turnout has been WAY MORE than the Republican in most states--it was triple in Nevada, maybe double in Iowa and NH. Michigan and Florida were silly and don't count because all their delegates were stripped from them by the DNC.

If the Repubs put a pro war candidate up in Nov, their will be a landslide Dem victory--even against Hillary. Remember 2006?

You're totally wrong about this.

The democratic turnout has been WAY WAY higher than republicans in almost every state. Florida had no delegates, so it was a waste of time voting today for them.

Nevada showed votes for the GOP side, while only showing delegates for the Democratic side. The actual vote totals were way higher on the Democratic side there as well.
