What benefits us more? High turnout or low turnout? I think it’s the latter but I can’t remember.

I think in THIS election high turnout shows who is angry enough to go cast a ballot against obama/pelosi/reid

and therefore in GOP favor

If people are pissed, I think that equation changes.

This election is not even close to a normal midterm one.

Heavy voter turn-out is in our favor this time. Remember that.

Depends on whether the high turnout is produced at the voting booth or the Democrat way through the transom

A couple weeks ago I think it was Gallup that released two models:

High turnout = GOP wins big

Low turnout = GOP wins HUGE

Anyone remember seeing that?

High, I would think. If the person actually shows up to vote, there is a chance they will vote GOP. If they don’t show up and the normal routine of voting for them occurs, it is a guaranteed Dim vote.

During a midterm .... the out party usually benefits from the larger turnout......that’s why out party usually gains seats during a midterm...higher turnout should benefit repubs.
