[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 426303, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]One thing we kept hearing was how Obama was energizing all those new voters. We often saw the staged rock star events that led us to believe there may be some truth to that energization. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]The final tally puts Obamas vote total around 65.3 million votes.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Bush had a little over 62 million. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Looking at both elections it appeared that approximately 121 million voters turned out each time. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Researching population growth statistics it appears our population is growing at a rate of approximately 2.5 million a year or 10 million more in our general population then 2004. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]I couldn't find any eligible voter totals for 2008 but previous years indicate the rate of increase matchs the population growth rate.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Putting it all together it appears that Bush actually energized a higher percentage of the eligible voters in 2004 then Obama did in 2008.
