From recent article I have read, it is estimated that if 100% of registered voters vote in the 2004 election, President Bush will be CRUSHED with no pity. But sadly, it appears that it is the majority of liberals who think to themselves, "I'm staying home this Tuesday, my vote doesn't matter anyway." This should make many of you Republicans jump from your seats in joy.

By no chance certain. If look at the groups that have the lowest voter turnout U have both democrat and republican tending groups. U have minorities who would presumable be heavily democrat and you have young working professionals who are most likely to vote GOP on economic issues. Religious conservatives are another example of a group that has a relatively low turnout and we all know how they would vote. Of course this is an issue we can discuss till eternity but I dont a reasonable person can happily conclude exactly what happens if there were to be 100 % voter turnout.

Of course I'm going to vote and encourage as many of my friends to as well.  But I do live in one of the least competative states around, so my vote really doesn't count.  Anyway, here's my very short record (turned 18 in August 2002)...

2002
Governor -Jerry Brady (D) lost
Senator- Alan Blinken (D) lost
Representative- Betty Richardson (D) lost

2003
City Council- Mark Arneson (D) lost

As you can see I'm not very good at picking winners.  

Now U see there may be a reason for that. I can suggest a sure way for you to pick all the winners next election Grin
