Will the Democrats attract a record number of cross-over votes in the 2008 Presidential elections? And, why?

When I vote, I vote for party platform, I know that I do not like for the repuglicans to give to the rich and take from the poor to pay for unjust wars and such. Supply side economics has never worked even in wartime. I don't like the repuglicans intrusion into ever ones life, and I definitely do not like the christian right passing moral judgment on what I do. That is why my vote won't be a crossover vote. I do hope that the repuglicans on the fence will see all the harm that Bush has done to the country and cross over and vote democrats into office so that there are some checks and balances put back in the government.

You will not be wrong. Have a little faith in the intelligence of the American people. They will do the right thing and vote for the Democrats.

I don't know about registration, but they vote about 92% Democrat, which is why both parties ignore them.

Woooo very good question. I think that the Dem. Party will win next.  but who knows.  not many people are happy with him (bush). even the guys over seas think we should pull out.

I believe that process has already started.  Look at Coretta Kings funeral, the confirmation hearings of Sam Alito and the Democrats stance on the partiot act.  Everytime a Democrat opens his/her mouth, our candidates get more votes.

As the approval ratings drop, we’ll finally see the percentage of Americans this administration caters to.  I’m guessing 25-30%.\n\nYes, this is wonderful news for Democrats running in November, which in turn will be great for the American public. Along with history, these ratings will guarantee a change in political leadership come 2008.\n\nHappy days are on the way!

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

I think it will ultimately not be fatal that democrats won.\n\nI disagree with the rest of your  premise, however.  Our system has built in checks and balances, as well as regular elections.  It is unnecessary to seek to create an artificial balance.\n\nJust continue to vote your conscience.

I sure hope so.\nThe "Nader Effect" has foiled the Dems run at the White House for two elections now. When are they going to learn that when they isolate the far left to centrist factions of their party....those folks always rebel and vote Green or Indy. If the Dems ever got the BALZZ to come back to their roots as a party....they wouldn't have to contend with the "Nader Effect".\nThe best Dems to do this in 2008 in my opinion are Bill Richardson- Gov of NM, or Mike Gravel- former Sen from AK.\nCheck em out!!!

There was actually an issue with electronic voting machines in Florida again this year.\n\nSometimes mistakes happen.  Sometimes people try to cheat the system.  Sometimes people other than democrats have made errors or cheat, too.\n\nI think that you're painting with a very broad brush, as the saying goes.  I think it is unfair to pose a question or make a statement that says only democrats will cheat, whine, or mess up.  When dealing with so, so many people as ALL of the political parties are, the chances for there being "bad apples" in the bunch is always there.  \n\nAnd for the record, I am not a democrat, repulican, or otherwise.  I'm of the "non-voting" type currently and don't support any specific party.

I think Democrats are starting to get over the euphoria of their win and are realizing what actually happened. Voter samples show that voters were not really voting for the Democrats, but rather against the Republicans. What the voters have done is actually create a stalemate situation. This because while Democrats control the congress, the president controls veto power and the Democrats do not have the majority required to override. So while Democrats have indeed made the president a lame duck, they have also imposed the same on the congress. It does not have to be this way though. If Democrats reach across the aisle to craft bi-partisan legislation which benefits all Americans they can still accomplish many things. However, if they fall back on the liberal agenda nothing of substance will get done in government for the next 2 years. The biggest problem for Democrats is now they have the power and they must produce. Just calling the other side evil is not going to do it anymore. The Democrats say they wanted change for all Americans, the coming days, weeks, and months will show if they were honest, or if they just wanted power again and were willing to say whatever it took to get elected.

The Democrats used to be the ones with the huge voter drives, getting their people to the polls.  The Republicans have easily taken over the lead in this department.\n\nThis election will be fun to watch to see how the Democratic 'machine' responds.\n\nUmmm...I guess that means my answer is "I dunno".

If the election was today, maybe.  It would probably be a pretty even split at this point, but the Democrats may have a slight edge today.  Politics, like the weather, changes every five minutes.  Republicans will reunite and place 100% of support behind their selection.  Democrats will fracture and split then end up with the "one that won, not the one we want" candidate.  We won't really know who is going to win until November 2008.  But this is gonna be a fun election.  There'll be more skeletons, scandals, mud slinging, and hate talk than any election before.  It's gonna be a wild ride and I plan on getting there early and getting a good seat.

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.
