Turnout At New Hampshire Primary; Plus Actual Iowa Democrat Voter Numbers
A typically-biased Washington Times headline, "GOP shatters its turnout record; Democrats lag behind", but the now-reported raw numbers in fact don't lie, and give some "actual voter" tallies from the Iowa caucus as well:
Republicans drew nearly 285,000 voters to the polls, which was 15 percent more than in 2012, and just shy of the all-time record of 287,000 voters that Democrats drew in their marquee 2008 battle...Democrats drew slightly more than 250,000 voters in New Hampshire this year...Exit polling found that about 15 percent of voters in each primary said they were first-time voters — and the two iconoclastic candidates, Sen. Bernard Sanders on the Democratic side and businessman Donald Trump on the Republican side, each claimed the biggest share of those first-timers.
...
The New Hampshire results follow last week’s Iowa caucus turnout, where Republicans easily outdistanced Democrats by more than 50 percent...“In Iowa our two candidates, along with Martin O’Malley, turned out 171,000 caucus-goers, compared to the ELEVEN Republican candidates — who ended up virtually in the same spot at 180,000,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Luis Miranda said in a memo after Tuesday’s voting.
Something's wrong with their "50 percent" math in Iowa, firstly. I think what they meant to write is that the GOP turnout surged 50% over itself from last time, not over the Dems. (Shoddy reporting, Washington Times) That link also states that Democrat Iowa turnout dropped 30 percent from its own turnout in the last caucus in 2012.
And "virtually the same spot?" Since when is 9,000 more voters chump change? (Answer: when it's the Dems on the shortfall side) Actually according to that last source, Iowa GOP turnout was 186,000, and per The New York Times, the GOP Iowa turnout was 185,000, or 14,000 to 15,000 more. That represents 8% more GOP caucusers than Democrat, but I agree with the assessment that it isn't worth crowing about, as the real numbers that matter are only the ones nine months from now.
Popular vote doesn't win all, but if you're keeping score, it's 471,000 GOP, to 421,000 Democrat voters actually going out to make their voices and votes heard, at this point.

"After Abortion,...run by Emily Peterson and Annie Banno, two women who had abortions in the 1970s, ...tries to avoid the political tug-of-war that tends to come with this turf. They concentrate instead on discussing the troubling personal effects of abortion on the mothers." ~ Eric Scheske, Godspy contributing editor, in NC Register's "Signs of Life in the Blogosphere", 2/2006
"Godbloggers could, in the best of worlds, become the new apologists...[including] laymen with day jobs: Emily Peterson and Annie Banno, for instance, at the blog After Abortion..."~ Jonathan V. Last, The Weekly Standard online editor, in First Things's "God on the Internet", 12/2005

"I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion...[many are] aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and [do] not doubt that it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance.
