I've heard some vague notion of this concept before. What was it called? Oh yeah. Good news. How strange and rare, especially in presidential campaigns.
Would have been nice for Kucinich to be among the top, but, as a pessimist, I'll take this as a pleasant surprise.

Yeah great ... we get to sweep the next Corporatist into the top spot in the Corporatocracy together. Oh well, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, I guess?

The last turnout of Democratic voters all over the United States are sending out a "Message." The people want change. This present Republican Administration have bankrupted the people of the United States for their own personal gain. The Republicans keep talking about smaller government... They were in power for the last eight years and look what they have done to the economy. "People Wake Up."

I just hope that the people can keep up the momentum until November. If we really want change All of us (Dems.) must volunteer our input. We must help the party and start our own private Caucuses to get people to vote in the general election in November.

But what was the change in the percentage of electorate voting? Or similarly you could try to put those previous record figures in terms of the 2008 population.
