The Florida Democratic Party says 20,119 more Floridians registered as Democrats than Republicans in September and that since the first of the year, the party is up 170,341.

From a FDP release: "According to the Department of State, 72,189 Floridians registered as Democrats while 52,070 people registered as Republicans during the month of September. Between Jan. 1, 2008, and Sept. 30, 2008, 803,909 people have registered to vote, including 360,478 Democrats, 253,294 Independents and NPAs, and 190,137 Republicans.

"Most striking is the net gain numbers, which factor in newly registered
voters, party switchers and removes people who are no longer voters in
Florida. Since January, the Florida Democratic Party has had a net gain
of 415,580 voters, while the Republican Party of Florida has only
gained 169,841. This shows that the gap between Democrats and
Republicans in Florida has grown by 245,739 voters this year alone."

"It's the same story we hear every year, but can the Democrat turn these voters out? History tells us, 'no they can't.'  Instead of bragging about their voter registration numbers, why wont the Democrat Party talk about Obama's dishonesty with the American people regarding his personal relationship with domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers or his risky plans for the economy?"
