Why doesn’t the headline read, “Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Early Voting”?

‘Why doesn’t the headline read, “Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Early Voting”?’

True, but not nearly as much as in 2008, and higher returns than in 2004, and Rs plus Is outweight the Ds. In any case, I just copied the headline.

“Could the intent behind this report be that the white guys are coming in droves, so the rest of you can stay home?”

Sure, but we won’t buy it, nor do that!

IIRC, this is very similar to the post-election MSM mantra in 1994. Then it was "angry white men" who turned out - while the overall turnout was reported as "low" - to enable the GOP to wrest control of Congress.

I don't think there was any "early voting" back then, though, except via absentee ballots. "Early voting" should be abandoned because it increases the potential degree of fraud.

With so many cowardly Republicans likely to win, why would Obama’s power be limited?

No more Democrap supermajority , for starters. No Capn Trade, no more Check card, no more friendly legislation, period. The cowardly Pubbies can sit on their ass on the sidelines, for all I care, until 2012.

“Well I’ve never thought of Italians (or Greeks or Spaniards, etc) as anything but white, but who knows what the MSM would say?”

Well the point is none of us is ‘white’ and we’re all different shades. But the MSM couldn’t care less about the facts/about reality...

Nice - thanks for posting that...

I have not received anything from him and until my husband read about him in the NRA magazine today we did not even know Butterfield had a challenger. We live in the district and are active in the county GOP. No signs, not anything.

I think that elections should be held on Election Day, not before. Everyone should vote while being privy to all the information that comes to light by Election Day.

The voter roll lists the voter’s race/ethnicity in NC.

Woolard is a solid conservative, from everything I’ve read. I don’t know if he’s an organizer, but I seem to recall seeing his name as a speaker.
