Low Democrat Turnout; the Story You’re Not Hearing

Tom Galvin over at The Galvin Opinion [1]notes that things are not as rosy on the Democrats side as the press likes it to appear:

” Citing varying percentages of high voter “anger,” the media networks failed to note that primary voters were, by the vast majority, partisan Democrats. The news that these primaries were the third lowest on record fly in the face of the media theory that Democrats were rushing to make their voices heard and show their dislike for President Bush. “

INdeed, so bad is it, that:

“Democratic turnout was 11.4%! “

So, the press has been getting, polling, and interviewing the most extreme 11% of the party.

Now, do you understand the picture the press has been painting, and just how far off reality it is?
