Post by Dan Cummings - If nothing else catches your attention this week, I hope this does:  Speaking of Democrats ONLY, something on the order of 36 thousand registered voters turned out for Tuesday's Presidential primary in Onondaga County.  That's by far, the largest primary turnout in at least 16 years.  It doubles the next-best recent showing, back in 1992.   While it still represents less than half the number of enrolled Democrats, it is a very encouraging sign for our democracy.  
 
The race for the White House is wide open, interest in the election within both major parties and among independent voters is high, and by most standards, Republicans and Democrats have come up with a quality raft of candidates...now being whittled down to 2 or 3.  
 
Maybe you missed your opportunity to participate this week, either because you are not enrolled in either major party, or couldn't make it to the polls for one reason or another.  Perhaps you are not registered to vote, or have moved recently.   You'll have plenty of time to get registered for the general election in November.
