The partisan divide

Many people talk about enthusiasm in the Presidential race today and talk about how Democrats are more excited about their candidates than Republicans are. The numbers from across the country seem to agree with that. During the Super Tuesday semi-national primary, 14.6 million Democrats went to the polls. When you compare that to the 9 million Republicans who went to the polls and then look at the number of Red States that voted ( 13 out of 22) and it becomes clear that the Republicans don't really like their candidates. With Romney suspending his campaign, fiscal conservatives now have no candidate to turn to and it will be interesting to see if the enthusiasm on the Republican side goes even lower.

Democrats certaintly have something to cheer about in the wake of Super Tuesday. With huge cash on hand advatages and a slew of great candidates at the lower levels on the ballot. Added enthusiasm for the Presidential candidates is just another rung on the ladder to victory.
