Brian S. McNiff, a spokesperson for Secretary of State William Galvin, says yesterday's record low turnout will not affect voter participation in November's general elections. He refers to 1996, when only 11.8 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the state primaries...
There have been some exceptions. After the Fed stopped tightening rates in February 1995, stocks quickly bolted and kept rising--up 19% in the first six months and 36% for the full year.

But in the long run, as the March madness of the primaries rolls into the summer and fall of the general election, I hope we won't continue to need an instant replay to see who fouled whom first but rather just be able to keep score on the issues...
