You’re likely wrong. Although both parties diminished the number of registered Democrats usually outnumbers Republicans.
The loss of 5.4% of Democrats is a much bigger number than the loss of 3.1% of Republicans. This is very good news for Newt or Romney both of which can claim some mantel of being ‘outside’ or ‘different’. Obama can only attack them on a limited front and he and Axelrod have thrown all in with their class warfare attack, but in their blind Leninism they misread the electorate.
They want jobs and economic liberty, something the Democrats cannot provide.
“The loss of 5.4% of Democrats is a much bigger number than the loss of 3.1% of Republicans.”
A 2.3% difference is not a much bigger number in my book. And note that both dems AND gop lost registered voters. The independent “pox on both your houses” coalition seems to be growing. The gop has not capitalized on voter disaffection, otherwise they would be gaining numbers, not losing them.
