David, I agree that record turnout is immaterial. After all, a record number of people voted for John Kerry in 2004 — the problem for Democrats was that President Bush smashed the old record by even more. The salient issue is comparative turnout. This is a season in which, up until a week ago (and, if Huck is to be believed, still to this day) Republican voters have had the same chance as Democrats to make a real difference in nominating their candidate. Nevertheless, the Democrat turnout has been starkly greater than the GOP turnout. That’s the reason for alarm.
