This is a virgin diary and I apologize for any seeming waste of time or space I might cause.

That said, as I pointed out in this comment recently: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/9/5/183758/7470#185

I hope Kossacks are aware, as cynical as it seems, that aside from the huge loss of life, the equally tragic disruption and uprooting of generational family, the Democratic voting base has lost a huge chunk of its base as registered Dem voters are evacuated to voting districts in which they are not registered.
