Democrats are all giddy that Mitch McConnell with run again for the Senate in Kentucky, and their far left progressive liberal darling Alison Lundergan Grimes won her primary. But Democrats have a bigger problem before their wet dream about winning the Senate in Kentucky and Georgia. Democrat voter turnout continues to plummet over 2010 levels (the last non-presidential election primary year.) In 2010, the ‘big tea party year’, Democrats got a total of 521,659 votes between their various Senate candidates. The winner Jack Conway faced Rand Paul and got crushed in the general election. Republicans in 2010 in Kentucky only got 352,275 between their 2010 Senate candidates.

This year with about 98% of the vote counted, the Democrats only got around 400,000 total votes. A nice drop of 121,000 or so primary votes of 2010. Maybe leftists and the media can blame the weather like they did for the crappy economy or something.
This continues the 2014 primary cycle results. Democrat turnout in these primaries has dropped anywhere from 20-50% in some cases. Will that mean anything come election day in November? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Still, watching Democrat primary voter turnout plummet as it has, even in far left screwed up states like Illinois, where Republican turnout was nearly 2:1 over Democrats in their primary. And that is about as deep blue of a state as you’re going to find. Of course, not even the most optimistic conservatives thinks Turban Durban is going to lose in November.
