Going thru no less than 30 years of presidential campaigning and calling it the same old shit might be "disingenuous" (I'd have to look that up but I'm lazy), but there really is nothing new here....including the loudness of those who think "their" guy is the only guy(or woman).

Democratic Registering in Record Numbers

States See Leap in Voter Regisrations

Here is a different look:

Nationwide, there are about 42 million registered Democrats and about 31 million Republicans, according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press.

The Democrats have posted big gains in many competitive states, including Nevada, New Hampshire, Iowa, Colorado and Florida. They have also been targeting historically Republican southern states.

Since 2006, the Democrats have added 167,000 voters in North Carolina, while the Republicans have added 36,000. The Democrats' biggest voter registration goal is in Georgia, where the Obama campaign hopes to register 500,000 voters before the election, said Dean, who has spent the past month traveling the country on a voter registration bus tour.

"The Obama folks are serious about Georgia," Dean said. Georgia has added 337,000 voters since 2006, but the state does not identify them by party affiliation.

In Pennsylvania, the Democrats have added 375,000 voters since 2006 while the Republicans have lost 117,000.

If you take the time to look deeper in many of these states...much of the increase is attributed to Obama.
