California has begun early voting already as well as mail-in balloting. The number of people who have gone in to vote in person has been extensive. The results so far prove what we had always suspected. The polls are being proven as totally unreliable. Although the results of early balloting have not been disclosed,of course,how many Republicans and how many Democrats have voted has been revealed.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
Who is the source of these numbers?
Just read it at redstate
Yes, but what was the early voting spread in 2004, 2000 and 1996? Aren’t Republicans always likely to turn out more for early voting?
I hope this is true. I’m in CA, and mailed in my vote. For McPalin. Fingers crossed it’s true.
NOO It was supposed to be D’s just chomping at the bit
I read the whole article and was surprised by the next paragraph:
“The results are simply shocking. The polls showed Barack Obama with an 18 point lead in California just a few days ago. The results thus far are the complete opposite. In the most liberal state in the entire country,the results are that 99,000 Republicans have voted and 96,000 Democrats voted. In the mail-in balloting the results so far are that 9,000 Democrats sent in their ballots and that 5,000 Republicans did so. So with nearly 210,000 people having voted,the Democrats have only a 1,000 vote advantage !”
It does prove, at the very least, that if we get out and vote, it will make a difference.
How reputable is this outfit reporting this material? Furthermore, even if remotely true what it merely means that the bad ones know how many ballots to stuff in order to achieve the “right” result. Even more modern, program the computers to kick out every 10th McCain vote. California is gone! In more ways than one.
I’ll try and find those numbers, but usually early voting seems to favor Dems. There are a lot of Republicans like me who don’t trust my vote sitting around for a week or so with the lib poll workers being all that separates it from a trash can.
What this is an indication of is that there IS NO massive groundswell for Zero. There is no turnout advantage. ALL of the polls are complete BS.
In 2004, exit poll party id said that California had a +6 advantage for the Dems. Rasmussen has just reweighted to a +8 advantage FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
Meaning that they expect that the rest of the country has moved to the LEFT of California and by quite a lot.
That gives you an idea of just how screwed these polls actually are.
I’m going out on a limb and calling this now:
California will be close on election day. Down to the wire.
In California, how do you know whether a voter is Republican or Democrat?
I don’t care what they were chomping at. We need to compare this to historical norms to understand whether they truly represent a stunning fact, or just in line with normal numbers.
Interesting. I wondered why the Obambi was advertising here in California - on the Scifi channel last week, there were about four Obambi ads during the two Friay night shows I watch (Sanctuary [no, I still haven’t figured that show out] and SG-Atlantis). If Obambi is having to advertise in California, then it’s true: all the polls are wrong.
I read in our local paper where the local precincts are experiencing record early voting turnout in the county in which I live, a large republican area. I think the base will turn out big for Palin/McCain.
Even that it's a possibility is unbelievable....
Could McCain win CA? I seriously doubt it, but anything is possible I suppose...
It ticks me off that we bailed on Michigan.
This isn’t anything to smile about. If there is anything less than a landslide then we have nothing to smile about.
Oh my goodness!! Just accept some positive news for f*** sake.
Sheesh.
I think the dem turnout this year will be 2 MAYBE 3 percent higher than the Republican turnout.
This means the polls that over sample dems by 5% or more are off.
By the color clothes they wear as this state is gang country!!! Just kidding, but I read the same info in my local paper a day or two ago.
