The
Daily Journal reported today that North Mississippi voter registration is headed through the roof. Voter registration is key to Dem chances in November. Party affiliation of these newly registered voter is not listed in the article.
Lee County Circuit Clerk Joyce Loftin said her downtown Tupelo office has registered some 600 new voters since Sept. 1, with at least 1,200 calling or coming in to change their voting places.
"Business is booming," she observed Tuesday. (emphasis mine)
What about Desoto County?
Across the state in DeSoto County near Memphis, Circuit Clerk Dale Thompson reports waves of new voters since January – some 8,500 swelling voter rolls to nearly 80,000.
"It's going like crazy," she said Tuesday.
This is setting up to be a record setting election in November. I don't ever remember this many people this excited over an election in my lifetime.
Remember Jeff, everytime there is a record turnout in Mississippi, GOP does much, much better.

I read his column, but Obama brings a different dynamic to the table from previous elections. I guess we will get to see for sure come November.
