I doubt that. They'll ##### and moan. They'll get things changed for next time. And then they'll vote for Hillary. After all, McCain is GWB part deux.

It seems like members of both parties feel abandoned. I don't know of anyone who is in the least bit excited about the elections. I did run into a kid this weekend (18 yo) who was all excited about Obama (got give the kid credit for at least getting excited). He totally deflated when I asked him for a single accomplishment of his candidate. I did tell him it was no big thing, all the candidates were useless.

Some will, but a lot of that record voter turnout is blacks and young people coming out to vote for Obama. If the Super Delegates disenfranchises their vote, they will stay home in November.

I was thinking of scheduling "SIT THE VOTE" parties for Republicans who hate McCain, and Democrats who hate Clinton (if she gets the nod), on election night. What better way to celebrate our dissatisfaction.

what if they hold and election and nobody comes, is it still an election ....

I am sure the loony left is expecting Bush to declare Martial Law a week before the elections and close down the polling places ... because an Al - Q attack is emanate
