Democrats Splitting Heavily for McCain

Say Anything Blog ^ | 30 Oct 2008 | Bob King

The Democrats in key swing states are splitting for McCain in big numbers. This effect has either not been noted, or has been ignored, by most pundits.

Democrats are beaming that their party is outperforming the Republicans in early voting, releasing numbers Wednesday that show registrants of their party ahead 54 percent to 30 percent among the 1.4 million voters who have gone to the polls early.
Poll gives McCain lead in Florida early voting

Yet, a poll of early voters in Florida provides a curious anomaly.

A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll gave McCain a 49-45 lead over Democrat Barack Obama among Floridians who have already voted.

Then we have all the Hillary Democrats, at sites like HillBuzz, reporting on potential McCain victories in Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire and even Maine!

In Pennsylvania, Democrats hard at work not just voting, but campaigning for McCain!

DEMOCRATS are staffing McCain offices across the state. DEMOCRATS are phone banking and canvassing for McCain. DEMOCRATS are raising large sums to fund this last week of campaigning.

As mentioned above, key indicators that Democrats in Florida are voting for McCain.

analysis indicates Democrats voting early in Florida are voting for John McCain in huge numbers

Disenfranchised Hillary Democrats in Iowa, New Hampshire and Maine also shifting to McCain.

And all of us agree that on election night, the media will be spinning and sputtering and trying to explain things that those of us on the ground have seen coming for months now.

For those that are despairing about the polls and this election, the Democrats for McCain influence is being understated.

[Hildy]

Then why does your headline read that they’re splitting for Obama?

[WesA]

Lets pray this is accurate..

[FReepaholic]

The headline says they’re splitting for Obama but the first sentence says they’re splitting for McCain. Which is it?

[F15Eagle]

I sure hope you are right. Help us, Democrats. Help us save our country from Obama, Howard Dean and David Axelrod.

[FReepaholic]

Looks like the mods changed the headline.

[boomop1]

Mod fix this before I have nightmares.

[A Strict Constructionist]

“Which is it?”

It’s kinda like Obama, now you see it now you don’t.

[cripplecreek]

There are a lot of democrats choosing to sit this election out as well. I’ve got a very liberal family and the older ones (aunts and uncles) are voting Nader or not at all the younger cousins are mind numbed robots.

[pctech]

I was thinking the same thing, what’s going on with this article?

[mountainlion]

Operation Kayos.

[wiseprince]

Everyone here hopes you’re right I’m sure. Would polling samples not catch dramatic defections?

[Onerom99]

I saw atleast 4 people carrying “Another Democrat for McCain” signs at the Palin Williamsport, PA rally tonight.

[Nateman]

Splitting the vote as in having operatives splitting their time voting multiple times?

[screaminsunshine]

I think a lot more dems are going Repub than Pubs going Dem. I am tired of the damn polls. Lets vote and let the chips fall. At least we will know What cards we have. I am all in.

[PhiKapMom]

It is true — have spent the last two months working with the PUMAs, Clintons4McCain, and Democrats for McCain. These people are the ones that helped us find the fraud. Been totally amazing to watch it progress to this weekend where buses are coming in again from NY State Dems to campaign in Scranton/Bucks County for McCain. It started out small when they reported the fraud and then grew and grew.

They are all about putting Country first. The detest Obama with every fiber of their body and are voting fror McCain/Palin. They get furious when the media goes after Palin including some conservative pundits who they say should no better.

The Dem Party of Dean/Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Biden have left these people by becoming socialist, and they are not taking it anymore.

[HerrBlucher]

the Democrats for McCain influence is being understated.

And even that is an understatement. The Mac dems will be the story of this election. They have been called racists, bitter clinger gun toting bible thumpers, bigots, and through acorn voted fraud gypped hill out of the nomination. The will exact their revenge on bambi and it will be so incredibly sweet we will all be high until new years.

[saganite]

Wonder if McCain will think he owes more to Dems who voted for him than conservatives, hmmm? Just a rhetorical question, no need to answer until after the election.

[screaminsunshine]

I had 2 relatives going Nader but I got them for McClame.

[RepublicanChick]

Great news! I voted today in FL and waited in line for one hour. Who would have thought that Obama, a Socialist, would unite democrats with us for McCain/Palin? Thank you PUMAS!

[edzo4]

if they are splitting aren’t they going to both?

[HerrBlucher]

Ouch, next time preview your post Blucher!

[rabidralph]

Pray and then go vote on Tuesday. Polls mean nothing without targeted action.

[Red Steel]

It’s accurate. I’ve seen enough over this long election to know now.

[GailA]

Take note WREC 600 AM in Memphis, Tn had their first seminar bho caller tonight on the Mike Fleming show, her name was Amy supposedly a doctor who had a conversation with a fellow worker who was black that ‘magically’ opened her eyes to bho and the small business plans he has.

[DocH]

It’s CHAOS, my friend. :)

[vrwconspiracist]

Reagan Democrats!!!

“Sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they’ve got and win just one for the Gipper.”

Maybe Dutch is looking out for us...

[Tarpon]

Operation Kayos

My thought exactly ... There were what about 5-7% in the final tally that was attributed to Rush and his operation chaos followers. They sure couldn't change their registration back.

Likely the cause of some of the poll skew as well.

[DoughtyOne]

Hillary nearly broke even with Obami. That means nearly 50% of the party backed her. I have read that something like one in three Clinton supporters have decided to back McCain/Palin.

If this is true, and some of the reports now seem to support something like this taking place, Obami is dead in the water.

You can’t take a 1/6th or 16.66% hit on your base, as not be in serious trouble.

Obama is in trouble.

If he fails on November 4th, we’re going to see an onslaught of reporting that will absolutely pulverize the guy after the fact.

Some of it will take place anyway, even if he wins.

[techno]

That’s why we have Sarah there as VP-to keep John honest and to keep the PUMA ladies happy. Sarah is our ace in the hole. Without her the RINO’s and the Hillarycrats would run wild, but first things first-let’s get John and Sarah elected.

[mlocher]

I had 2 relatives going Nader but I got them for McClame.

Great Job!!!!

[DAC21]

Well you sure would have a hard time convincing the Pollsters (Rass and some other nerd) who were just on BOR. They all but said it was over as McCain's up tick isn't showing up in the Swing States.

[cyberaxe]

.....FWIW.....

.....I've got several employees that live in NC and are hard core Dems.....

.....(which has always made for sporting conversations around October over the last ten years).....

.....of these, most have voted Republican (absentee, we work on the road) for the first time ever.....

.....and the rest said they are not voting at all.....

.....this is "one" (all be it small) anecdote that gives me a bit of confidence in what according to the MSM should be a totally depressing situation.....

[jonrick46]

The 401K policy by Obama should be the bullet that killed his hopes.

The second bullet was Obama’s revelations about “spreading the wealth” with Joe the Plumber. No one with any sense is going to allow bait and switch when it comes to taxes.

[Bailee]

Why I think Mac will get many Puma or disgruntled dems. The Conservative base has still got to turn out for Mac.

My problem with early voting we are telling Acorn how many votes they have to got to “find” for BHO.

Maybe Puma can offset the Voter fraud we all knot that going on.

[diverteach]

Not only are these ex-Hillary supporters pulling for McCain for Obama not choosing her for VP they also know that for thier original candidate to have a chance again McCain needs to win this one.

[arthurus]

The headline I am looking at and replying under says McCain. So does the first line.

[The_Reader_David]

Yeah, they’re going for both. The point is PUMAs and other Democrat crossovers are a much more significant factor than Obamicans both in intensity of feeling and numbers.

The former translates into help in our GOTV efforts. The latter suggests that Obama trailing Kerry’s position in the early voting using the usual estimate based on 100% party loyalty may underestimate the degree to which McCain is out-performing Bush.

[Nateman]

Hard to believe Democrats who actually support the country! I'm sure these particular ones are not engaged in vote fraud.

[HerrBlucher]

I have seen MANY similar ancecdotes posted here at FR. Although my liberal boss won’t admit it, I am positive he will be voting for mac given how his face looks every time I bring up bambi and how he tends to agree with me that bambi is too radical.

[gop4lyf]

I just got chills reading your post. Bless You President Reagan!

[februus]

Excellent news, and in my home anyway it’s true. I’m sure my wife would have voted for Hillary. She loathes Obama to the point where it sickens her to listen to him speak. I’ll catch her saying things while watching election coverage like “You boobs! This is just like Hitler in the ‘30’s! How can you be so blind?” Before this, I thought it would take longer than the production of a star to change her thinking. Lo, and behold the “Messiah” appeared. As a registered dem she gets called all the time by Obama’s weird people and she is taking particular relish in replying to them that Obama is toast. They call over and over looking for a different result too. It’s getting hilarious.

[Peter Horry]

“Wonder if McCain will think he owes more to Dems who voted for him than conservatives”

Remember Pres. Bush, Sen. Kennedy and the education issue, a Pres. McCain is delusional if he thinks he will fare any better.

[justlurking]

It’s CHAOS, my friend. :)

No, it's....

[arthurus]

More like an onslaught of reporting the massive Republican voter suppression and the KKK in white sheets who terrorized the black neighborhoods all over the country.Probably demands for a revote.

[sentz]

Barak Obama - Replacing the failed policies of George Bush with the failed policies of Karl Marx!

[Emperor Palpatine]

Don’t forget that jowly old windbag Murtha called us all racists and rednecks.

[cyberaxe]

.....I can't possibly verify it, but the way I see it.....

.....the guys I mentioned are probably doing it because.....

.....50% are bitter clingers.....

.....40% are Puma's.....

.....and the last 10% are just a little bit racist(i know, it's pc to admit that).....

[tx_eggman]

At the risk of repeating myself yet again ...

That party in Grant Park is going to be a real stinker ... might turn out to be quite a bit like the one they held there in 1968.

[mrmargaritaville]

In the Youngstown OH area-there are not as many osamaobama signs as one would expect given the heavy D presence in the area. I’m getting the sense that within a lot of these blue collar families-the husband isn’t keen about voting for a socialist (despite what their union leaders say) and the wives have really been drawn to Palin. The attacks on her by the media appear to have backfired.
