If they are "registering" then they would not have voted for him at all. You only register people who weren't on the rolls to begin with.

So explain again how that translates into "Seems "the One" has lost lots of folks who actually believed him in '08".

Changed their registration.

Got ya' hopes up for a minute, huh?

No, it says changes IN registration, not changes TO registration.

It means that the number of people registering with the parties is down from past years.
