Those Energized Dems

Jim Miller has collected the data on turnout in the Democratic primaries so far. The results are interesting: with the sole exception of New Hampshire, turnout is low. Here’s just one comparison, the Wisconsin primary in 1988 compared to 2004:
Dukakis–483,172
Kerry–327,672
Overall, turnout in Wisconsin this year was 17% below 1988.
