Here’s a couple things to keep in mind regarding Iowa’s early voting. On day one of early voting, all 99 counties had the Dems hosting breakfasts and they all went in and voted together. That gave them the huge early lead. Since then, we have had one-day polling stations pop up at strange locations. NPR has a story on this. A Mexican grocery store hosted a one-day satellite polling location. There will be 53 satellite locations open on college campuses. The celebrities and musicians that promote Obama then get the students to vote at the one-day locations.

Even so, Repubs are gaining on Dems each day during early voting here in Iowa.

Do you recall if they did the same thing in 2008?
