Do You Know Any Admitted Democrats Who Have Indicated They Are Not Voting?
Every Democrat I know and have spoken with has indicated that they intend to vote in the upcoming election. Most of them with great enthusiasm, chomping at the bitt so to speak.

The eagerness to cast their vote I've noted in my friends seems to be at odds with what I've been hearing on TV and radio for the last couple of days. All the talking heads are predicting a low voter turnout. Doesn't sound at all right to me. What do you think?

6. Oh, we ARE gonna vote.
Don't know a dem not pissed off and voting next Tuesday.

I would say - it may be true that turn out is lower - the problem for the gop is it won't be us not showing up.

I think the increasingly desperate adds they put out speaks volumes.

Joe

7. All the Democrats I know are voting, and the Republican breakdown is like this:
1 person says they're voting for the green candidate for governor (I'm in Illinois, I don't really blame them), and Democrats for congress.

3 other Republicans I've talked to about it aren't voting this year.

8. There's a few here on DU who aren't going to vote
Democratic if there candidate isn't for immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

I can't think of anything more counter productive.
