ignore this "news" folks...vote and work like the margins are 90% for Kerry, 10% for Bush. If all true patriots vote, kerry will lose big time.

Other than Georgia, Texas and Florida, which states have early voting? Are they mainly red states or blue states? The Post article says "western" states.

Why must Bush keep an eye on New Mexico? He lost it the last time so he can (probably) afford to lose it again.

I wondered if we were going to hear results from early voting. Isn't that kind of like announcing results before the polls close?

When did this early voting thing start, anyway? I don't like the smell of it...

[LongsforReagan]

Everything about this race says "blowout". 55% coming soon.

The true spirit of patriotism is sacraficing for your country when needed. The smallest level of which would be having to wait in line for hours to vote on Tues.

I just don't see the Bush haters sacraficing when faced with a 2-3 hour voting line. They are too selfish to give their time.

A five point lead is not a "skinny margin."

Looks like Cheney will prove to be correct.

Here are my thoughts on the election.

Once agina a reminder that this election boils down to a very important decision. Do we want a President who is commited to victory in the War on Terror or do we want a president who is willing to put the United Nations above the US and is more interested in settling political grudges against his opponents than in acheving victory against Saddam, Al Queda and Osama in the War on Terror.

If Kerry wins this election, christians and conservatives will be spending the next four years with a foot on the back of their necks and trust me we will not like the results.

And a reminder for my fellow Oklahomans, a vote to give our Senate seat to Brad Carson will be the most regettable decision we have ever made if we make it. Carson has the endorsement of a left-wing organization, Moveon.org. His negative ads have poisoned things to the point where not many people are going to want to work with him even if he wins.

Carson will make a very poor representative for Oklahoma in the Senate if he wins. There's no way people will work with someone of this kind of attitude. Remember that when you go to the polls this Tuesday.
Onward to November 2nd. Regards.

Among those who say they've already voted — by absentee ballot or early ballots in states that allow it — 51 percent went for Bush and 47 percent for Kerry, according to ABC's Saturday-Monday survey.

How interesting. The pundits all were predicting just the opposite!

What I want to know is..

..WHAT IS THIS "EARLY VOTING" CR**?

I never heard of this before mentions this week. Since when can you vote any time other than proper Election Day? What is this, a UN banana-republic election?

(I don't care if they're all Repubs, it's still wrong.)

[wildbill]

I can tell you that in the past the 'early' or absentee vote broke heavily for the Republicans. We relied on it to get an idea of how Republican candidates were doing.

If the 'early' vote is this close, then we need to get out and work harder.
