Yes, people want change, but McGrumpypuss got the vote from Republicans OPPOSED TO THE WAR. Think about that — the guy who makes Bush look sane when it comes to Iraq won among those who hate Bush’s Iraq policy.

And all because the media typographically fellates McNotarealwarhero every chance it gets, just like AdNag did today. Thus, the fly-by voters never learn the truth.

There’s still a LOT of work ahead, folks. Let’s try to remember that through the rest of the primary and try to focus on the guy we know we’ll be up against (McDumbass) instead of shredding each other to bits (not necessarily anyone here — that’s more aimed at the Hillary and Obama campaign folks).

I think that’s more than a little suggestive.

BTW here are some rough party vs. party turnouts (K=1000)

- Alabama 530K Democratic vs. 538K Republican (largely Huckabee evangelicals)

+ Arkansas 270K vs. 195 K [Hillary almost beat the combined Republicans by herself…this is Huckabees home state yet he got 70K less than Clinton]

- Arizona 369K vs. 433K [McCain home state]

+ Calif. 2.5 Million vs. 1.5 Million [Hillary beat top 3 Rep. Candidates on her own votes]

+ Conn. 351K vs. 150K [both Obama or Clinton outpolled the combined three Repubs.]

+ Delaware 96 K vs. 60K [both Obama and Clinton outpolled McCain+Romney combined]

+ Georgia 1.23 million vs. 950 K [Obama outpolls Huckabee+McCain]

+ Illinois 1.95 million vs. 882K [Obama easily outpolls all combined Republicans, Clinton almost beats McCain+Romney]

+MAss 1.35 million vs. 478K either Clinton or Obama beats the entire combined Republican turnout]

+Missouri 822K vs. 580K [either Obama or Clinton alone beats combined top two Republicans]

+NJ 1.13 million vs. 543K [Clinton alone beats combined R turnout, Obama beats McCain+Huckabee turnout]

+NY 1.75 million vs. 604K [either Clinton or Obama beat the whole Rep. field alone]

+OK 518K vs. 335K

Be consoled. The whole country will be watching the DNC and neither Adam Nagourney nor anyone else will be able to tell them what they’re seeing and hearing.

This myth that a contested primary hurts the party is a self-interested establishment myth; they want to pick the winners.
