Yesterday, I posted the past primary(ies) for reference to compare to
yesterday's results:
For those registered voters in AL. AR, CO, GA, MA, MN, OK, TN, TX, VA, and VT,,, make sure you VOTE today! For the record, In 2008, 8,565,000 Democrats voted in their primaries in these states. For the Republicans, 4,740,000 voted in these states' 2008 primaries, and 4,780,000 voted in the 2012 ones. I'll compare this with today's numbers tomorrow.
Other than Trump scoring 7 state wins and 285 delegates, and Bernie winning FOUR states and basically splitting Massachusets, the significant numbers to focus on are the overall votes cast
I'm taking Colorado Democrats (121,000 votes) out of the total because the number of voters for the Republican figures won't be released until their convention.
After leveling the playing field:
Democrats cast 5,763,000 +/- votes for yesterday's primaries.. compared to their 2008 (basically no primaries in 2012 with incumbent president) figures of 8,445,000+/-, the Democrats had a drop of 2,682,000 votes cast.. That's a 32% drop, which indicates, that Democrats are not really excited about either of their two choice (I'm still looking for a Biden movement).
Republicans cast 8,874,000 +/- votes yesterday.. compared to the 2012 primaries totals of 4,740 +/-, that's an increase of 3,134,000 voters, almost an 88% INCREASE..and Trump had almost 3,000,000 votes himself, Trump brings "star" power ... and Hope for real CHANGE in November..
---
Being realistic.. the votes for Bernie are really anti-Hillary votes (well, who could blame them?) , and a lot of these voters won't show up in November.. at least not for Hillary.
---
Bernie won 4 states.. and nearly won Massachusetts.. none of the pundits gave Bernie a shot at anything but Vermont ... but Bernie won Oklahoma, Minnesota, and.. get this Colorado!
---
GA, TX, and VA numbers were impressive.. in 2008, the Democrats had 1,060,000 voters in GA.. this year, only 753,000 Dems went to the polls.. that's almost a 30% drop in interest.. but the Republican voters cast 1,290,000 votes compared to 901,000 in 2012, a whopping 43& jump!
In Texas, 1,422,000 Democrats voted compared to 2,875,000 in 2008.. a drop of 98% increase..more than 50%.. .. on the Republican side, 2,814,000 went to the polls compared to 1,449,000 in 2012... that, my friend is a whopping 98% INCREASE..
And VA,, in 2008, almost 1,000,000 voters went to the Democratic Party primary, but only 785,000 found their way there this year.. but again, it was the Republican Party that shined.. Over 1,000,000 cast ballots versus less than 500,000 in 2012.. Now, Rubio did well in the Northeastern area of VA (close to Wash., DC)
but that was predictable as that is a wealthy area where lobbyists and other political people congregate, and they were not going to mess with their paychecks.
---
One interesting Democratic Party primary fact is that only Colorado had more voters in 2016 than 2008. but it also had Bernie as an unexpected winner..and he garnered almost 60% of that vote.

Online story: " If you listen to furious Bernie Sanders die-hards, Bill Clinton is running around America waging a one-man war on our democracy. Mr. Clinton was out on the trail for his wife on Super Tuesday and caused an mini-uproar when he strayed too close to a polling station. * Bill was alongside Boston Mayor Marty Walsh on Tuesday, greeting election workers and voters at the Holy Name Church, located in West Roxbury, Boston, according to MassLive. At the polling station (plus 4 others), Clinton reportedly spoke with voters, posed for photos, smooched an old woman and purchased a cup of coffee. When a woman asked for a photo inside the polling station, Clinton said, "As long as we're not violating any election laws." * Massachusetts law prohibits vote solicitation within 150 feet of a polling station" -- Good grief.. both of the Clintons.. well for that matter, most all Democrats, are firm supporters of Machiavellia's creed of "the end justifies the means.. and under any other circumstances, no Democrat would have uttered a word about this in Massachusetts.

Online headline: "Osama bin Laden left $29M in his will for 1 specific cause" -- Oooops, my bad.. it wasn't to the DNC...
---
I cannot believe that Apple won't send a techie to the FBI labs and do what's necessary to unlock the San Bernardino, CA terrorist's iPhone.. the answer does not need to be done through or on the I-net, and the "formula" does not have to be recorded. It's one phone.. one phone that belonged to a terrorist.. and one that din't live that far from Apple headquarters.. wonder if Apple would be so high & mighty if the killings had occurred in its headquarters.
---
Online story: "U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said on Tuesday that the Republican presidential nominee must reject any group "built on bigotry," an admonishment aimed at Donald Trump after the front-runner failed to disavow a white supremacist group in an interview." -- Wait a minute.. didm't we see a story yesterday that David Duke has denied he "endorsed" Trump? The RNC/establishment Republicans are doing more damage to the Republican future than even Trump or Cruz might correct! On the other hand, has anyone seen a Democrat who would reject a vote/endorsement from anyone in the New or OLD Black Panthers? How about convicted felons or illegal aliens?

Well, well, well.. NERO-bamageddon supporters Bill Gates amd Warren Buffey may change their minds after their accountants released the current figures about their wealth.. Gates lost $4.2 BILLION in 2015, and Buffett lost $11.9 BILLION

HuffPOOPOO headline/story: "Obama Is Going To A Baseball Game: Rays vs. Cuba At Home * Obama is a Chicago White Sox fan, but presumably on this occasion he'll root for the Rays." -- Good grief.. NERO-bamageddon is most likely to wear the Cuban jersey....
---
You do know Mexico built a fence..a pretty nasty one at that, on its shared border with Guatamala....guess Mexico doesn't want illegal Guatemalans taking American jobs away from Mexican illegals.
---
Hillary says America "needs more love and kindness"....how's that working in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis, New York, Los Angeles, or New Orleans?
---
There's pretty disturbing story floating around about what Rubio has asked fellow competitors to start referring to Trump supporters as.. I'm going to search for more/better confirmation before addressing this.
---
Online headline: "Attorney General Lynch: Hillary Clinton Isn't Getting Special Treatment as FBI Continues Investigation" -- Hmmm... of course what Lynch DiDN'T say was whether Hillary was getting "special treatment" by the DOJ , the DNC, and mainscream media.
---
Good grief...Max Lucado..was on Fox belittling Trump for calling himself a Christian...how hypocritical of Lucado for doing the same things he's criticizing Trump about . Guess his next book/movie will criticize Jesus for turning over the moneychangers' tables in the temple.
---
I have an idea who's time has come...how about if police departments have a registration for individual homeowners and apartment complexes to sign up as go whether the police should respond to 911 calls. Should clear up any doubts in gang ruled neighborhoods as to whether the police will get cooperation or not.
---
Fox News is about to lose me altogether if they don't start questioning all liberal spinmeisters' claims as to what their facts of anything are.

Online story: "ATLANTA -- An Atlanta state senator says a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at city hall Friday may have been "illegal." Mayor Kasim Reed contends it was within legal and ethical bounds." -- Good grief.. is than anything more oxymoronic than a Democrat defining "ethical"? Slick Willie thought his illegal presence too close to Boston polling places was "ethical" , and even here in Columbus, GA in 1990 and earlier. the former Superintendent use to vacate her office during "qualifying week" and let the local Democratic Party set up its qualifyng headquarters in her office without her even being there. I am just assuming the practice is no longer happening. )=( of note - not carried in Columbus L-E)

L-E headline: "Number of attorneys in city suits growing" -- Hmmm... guess lawyer/Mayor TomLYINGson is making sure her friends aren't add to the recent higher unemployment figures..

Just an update: Following what I considered a "fluff piece" on Carver
High's improvements, I requested from the MCSD, via the Freedom of Information
Act, the names of recent Carver High School S.T.A.R. students. I haven't heard
back from the MCSD's Ms. Fuller as yet..
---
LIV's L-E "soundoff": " There is a plethora of political candidates today
trying to arouse our fear of terrorism and the like. Trouble is, the candidates
frighten me more than the terrorists." -- Obviously a Democratic Party elected
official... but his/her fears should be about how voters are going to react at
the polls to elect people interested in fighting terrorists.

Additional congratulations to the 10 semi-finalists in the MCSD "Teacher of
the Year" competition.. Thanks to, to other 46 school nominees as well.
