Com article that described the actual 08' presidetial election voter turnout for 08' and 04' presidential election turnouts according to the CNN article pointed out less than 1 per cent difference. Which translates into a less than 1% increase btween 04' and 08' presidential election voter turnout?
You obviously put more importance on crowd numbers at the Wash mall for Obamas InAug.over actual election votes for Obama successful presidential bid 08'.- which does'nt support your political culture. now go and grow some skin dude.

I don't care if only 20 people voted for president. As long as 11 were for Obama, what difference does it make?
And you can tone down the insults, please
2008 turnout shatters all records

More than 130 million people turned out to vote Tuesday, the most ever to vote in a presidential election.
With ballots still being counted in some precincts into Wednesday morning, an estimated 64 percent of the electorate turned out, making 2008 the highest percentage turnout in generations.
In 2004, 122.3 million voted in what was then the highest recorded turnout in the contest between President Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.).
Previously red states targeted by the Barack Obama campaign demonstrated remarkable turnout, setting records in North Carolina and elsewhere. Increased turnout was also reported in states including Virginia and Indiana.
Exit polls indicate that whites made up a slightly smaller percentage of the electorate than in 2004, as a surge among minority and youth voters aided Obama, who exit polls show won two-thirds of voters ages 18 to 29, 66 percent of Hispanics and 95 percent of blacks.
Although Kerry won all those groups in 2004, he did so with slimmer margins, taking 54 percent of the 18-to-29 vote, 53 percent of Hispanics and 88 percent of blacks.
