Huge Democratic turnout the real story so far in race for the White House

A diarist on Daily Kos points out that the real story so far in the race for the White House hasn't been receiving much attention. And that's how lopsided the turnout has been when you compare Democrats and Republicans.
So...for those of you scoring at home:

IOWA: 236,000 Democrats and 119,000 Republicans

NEW HAMPSHIRE: 284,000 Democrats and 233,000 Republicans

MICHIGAN: 593,000 Democrats and 867,000 Republicans (NOTE: Republicans had a primary with delegates at stake. Democrats did not)

NEVADA: 114,000 Democrats and 43,000 Republicans.
As Steve says, the energy is on our side. Americans are sick of the failed right wing agenda and ready for progressive change.
