You sound pretty sure about the reasons for higher turnout. Could it be that there’s a black and a woman running? Those issues are definitely divisive, but they aren’t non-issues.

Hillary has a big bottom… It’s NIIICE

I’m torn as to the utility of this phenomenon. Don’t get me wrong, higher voter turnout is a definite positive. Hell, its embarrassing that just over half of us participate in a process we have spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives exporting to the middle east. But having said that, this higher turnout is the product of this derisive nonsense. People aren’t registering to vote issues, they’re registering to vote these media-manufactured non-issues. Higher turnout is great, but what does it say that we’re lining up in record numbers for a big plate of sh*t?

I’m starting to agree with this position. These “contested” Democratic primaries are creating record new Democratic registrations. That is a good thing. I doubt that we’ll remember “Bittergate” or “Wrightgate” in November.
