This post over at Brad DeLong is remarkable.
Look at the total votes cast in the primary so far. The two Democratic front runners garnered a total of 17,402,683 votes. Total cast for the two remaining Republicans: 7,940,000. That's more than twice as many. Wow. Granted this doesn't include Romney, who really was second in the race when he dropped out. But neither does it include Edwards.
What this really shows is that the Democrats are far, far more excited about their candidates than the Republicans. They're excited, they're interested, and they're turning out in record numbers. This bodes very well for November.
