Do people ever research this stuff before they post it?
National Voter Turnout in Federal Elections: 1960–2008 — Infoplease.com
The two highest turnouts in the last two decades were 1992 and 2004.
That was electing Clinton, and electing Bush.
And then you have 2006 which had a record turnout in a non-presidential year, and THAT CLEARLY favored the Democrats.
It's somewhere inbetween a toss-up, or you've got 2 out of 3 significant points that favor democrats over republicans.
