StumbleFLASHPOINT for Oct 11, 2007
Thursday, Oct. 11, 2007 | 6:44 a.m.
The Democrats are hoping the blue trend will make the Republicans red in the face. The party put out one of those "everything is going our way" releases Wednesday as registration figures are in its favor. After years of Republicans having a registration edge statewide, the Democrats now lead by 4,000 voters. Considering the total pot of voters is more than 1 million, that's a very small lead. But this is politics, where every blip is a trend, every increment is a leap forward. The Democrats also point to the more than 6,000-voter edge in the 3rd Congressional District, which is promising but hardly determinative (about 400,000 voters). The hype notwithstanding, the Republicans should be worried, even if they are not red-faced yet.
