Turnout, Turnout, Turnout

[classical liberal]

Of course the GOP will try to suppress opposition turnout.  So will the Dems.  You would have to be horribly naive to think that anyone in power is not going to use that power to further their views.

I hate the phrase Christian Conservatives.  They're really not conservative at all; their entire agenda is pushing for government to interfere in things that the constitution does not empower.  They assume that they know what is best for people and wish to use government unconstitutionally to impose their thoughts on others.  In that reagard they are as much liberal elitists as John Kerry and his ilk.

On a lighter note, I think that we should let gays get married since if we do, we will know where they live and can deal with them accordingly.

I think that people will be motivated to go to the polls this time.  Florida showed people that votes in swing states count, so the swing state turout will be like 75%.  Since the swing states include 153 of the 435 Congressional Districts (35% of the total population), that is 26.4% total turnout, plus roughly 50% turnout in the remaining states equals 58.8% overall turnout.

morally fashionable?

what is mad about it?  the tossup states know who they are, and what happened last time, so they will be motiviated to turnout en masse.  threefourths of registered turnout in those states and one half registered turnout elsewhere translates into 58.8% overall.

Turnout in MD will be 50 or below but Kerry will still win with like 57 or 57 points.  Although in swing states turnout would swing the state.
