Just 663K OH voters cast ballots in the competitive primary .. That number is lower than the 872K voters who turned out in '06, when neither Gov. Ted Strickland (D) nor Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) faced serious primary opponents. .. And in IN, just 204K Hoosiers voted for Dem House candidates, far fewer than the 357K who turned out in '02 and the 304K who turned out in '06.

By contrast, GOP turnout was up almost across the board.

But wait! The DNC doesent think this is all bad!

"We had historic increases in registration in 2008 and we are working to turn out those first time voters again this fall, and we'll do so united behind our nominees -- which can't be said of Republicans," DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan said. "The real story in looking at motivation of the base from yesterday was a deeply divided Republican party that nominated deeply flawed candidates that overwhelming majorities of their own voters couldn't support."

Pravda would be proud! Such well written propobamizing ! Lipstick on a happy pig!

The precinct I worked at in Dayton, Ohio had about a two to one Republican vote edge. That was strange since we had a Democrat Presiding Judge which means the precinct went to Obama in 2008.
