Well, we have the statistics we have. I'd say just the opposite on Republicans: those who grew up in the habit of going to the polls will still go. Blacks generally don't do a lot of absentees either, nor do "yuts," so I don't think this holds up and certainly it's not measurable. I can speak from anecdotal experience as a college prof that the "yuts" simply won't be there for Zero in anywhere the same numbers.

So, when you cut through all that, the statistics we have seem pretty staggering: Dem registrations down, huge. Absentee requests by Rs up, huge. When you throw in registration declines with underperformance, you have the makings of a pretty solid Romney victory here. Absentee requests by Dems down, significantly.

Remember, very very very very important ~ the Dems got 10 million more to the polls in 2008 than we did!

They have voters to waste!

For some unaccounted reason we failed to do a massive "Republican" voter registration drive, and lord only knows what's in line for 'Get out the Vote' ~ we don't even have campaign signs around here for anyone.
