But as far as party identification the Democrats still enjoy a solid lead.
Originally posted by USArmyParatrooperUtherpendragon is right. There are far more conservatives than lefties at a tune of 80% to 20%. In the under thirty crowd it's 51-49. There are not more Democrats than Republicans that's why Dems can never win without the independents. Democrats tend not to drop dead people out of the party, thus inflating their numbers so percentage may be even lower.

I see that you're named after some fantasy character from King Arther. Frankly I expected something far worse.
Originally posted by USArmyParatrooperI wouldn't be a bit circumcised if the democrats end up without a party too. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the next year or three.
