9/17, "Conservative America ready to take control," American Thinker by Bruce Walker

"A review of Republican primary turnout in Delaware shows just how intensely voters feel about using

• their only weapon against bad government: their vote.

• The 55,000 who voted in the Republican primary in 2010 was a record by a country mile.

In the presidential election year 2008,

• 27,000 voted in the Republican primary;

• 14,000 voted in the 2006 Republican primary; and

• 22,000 voted in the 2004 Republican primary.

(There was no GOP primary in 2002 because there were no contested Republican nominations that year in Delaware.) Was this week's turnout because of the close race in 2010?

• No. In 2000, 27,000 Republicans voted in the gubernatorial primary,

in which Burris defeated Lee by 50.1% of the vote to 49.9% of the vote. "...

• (Translation: We've been here all the time. You had the bad manners to try and fool us. Now we have a chance to let you know what we think of you. ed.)
  

NY Times blog: 9/14, "For the first time since the 1930s, participation in Republican primaries exceeds participation in Democratic primaries, according to a report by the Center for the Study of the American Electorate at American University.

• The study, which looked at elections held through Sept. 1 of this year, found that
  

more than four million more voters cast ballots in Republican primaries

• than in Democratic primaries."...

Reversing an 80 year trend.
