Didn't say you did, c.i. , just pointing out my own personal impression that this year's Presidential Election, so far, is a much smaller deal to a much greater portion of the national population than historically has been the case, despite all the media hype to the contrary. Now, admittedly, most of the nation doesn't give much thought to a general election untill after Labor Day, something which really calls to question any projections made this far in advance. At this point in the process, the only folks really involved are the political junkies and the press which panders to trhem ... on whchever side of the aisle. Right now, most folks just don't care. That'll change, of course, and in several of the articles previously cited, its noted that primary turnout is not a given as an absolute indicator of general election turnout, though despite abberations of considerable magnitude, there is a general correlation. We shall see.
