More Voters or Less?
This is just my theory, but since Bush has fucked up this country and the world around it, I think people realise how important their vote is to thier well being. I say more voters next election.

What ya thunk?

3. I hope you're right. I worry about it being less, though.
If the MSM would kick it up a bit, non-voters might get outraged enough to return to the voting booths. (I was really disappointed in the way the nightly news completely ignored the huge story in the House proceedings today.)

Unless things heat up in the MSM, what the non-voters are seeing just reinforces the reasons they stopped voting. Indictments, no-bid contracts, cronyism - same shyte different day, why bother voting.
