Democrats Out Polling Republicans in Early Voting
The McHenry County Democratic Party is acting, well, like a party.
Its chairman, Tom “This is our year” Cynor has someone looking at the names and parties of people who have voted early.
And, he was “happy to share the information.”
He should be, considering what he found.
As of the end of voting Saturday, 2,056 people had voted.
1,054 Democrats
990 Republicans
4 Greens
Can you believe that?
51.3% Democrats
Someone people are certainly working for their presidential candidate(s).
There were also 6 people who only voted in some referendum. Guess they don’t care who is nominated president or state's attorney.

I think it is safe to say that the level of intensity of support for presidential candidates is stronger among Democrats than among Republicans, although I did see my first Republican presidential bumper sticker on the way home from McHenry Friday night. It was for Romney, the best financed of the GOP candidates.
In politics, intensity counts for a lot.

How were the percentages in primaries past?
That doesn't really seem like a huge difference?
As for intensity, on the northside Chicago (boystown/uptown/andersonville/Lincoln Park) streets this weekend I saw 3 Ron Paul supporters and 2 Kucinich Supporters. I gotta say for them to standing outside with signs in single digit temps this weekend was pretty impressive. Also, I met a young Dem, who was out in Iowa for Obama and is flying out to NJ where his family is from for work leading up to Super Tuesday. I like seeing people invested in our political process, it really makes me happy.
