It is interesting to note that the closer you get to either coast the more democratic the vote tends to be. Wonder what impact this might have on the popular vote, and more importantly, places like PA?

Colorado:

The LARGEST COUNTY in Colorado is El Paso (think Colorado Springs). The vote here in 2008 was won by McCain, 57-39%. This year in early voting (and most have now voted) the GOP-registered voters outnumber the Dems 69-31% (actually 70,615 to 32,951 if you want to figure the precise fractional difference)

Fox is saying democrat turnout is higher so far, in swing states especially. What gives?

Granted, Fox they are just counting registered democrats, not necessarily who they voted for...

Do they tally the votes as they come in, when the state has “early voting”. We have all vote by mail, with a two week voting period, but they don’t actually tally the votes until after the election closes. They do keep a running tab of registered voters with party affiliation and they provide that list to the parties as the ballots are received, so that the parties can hound the voters to return the ballot, but they have no idea if the Democrats actually voted for the Democrat candidate.

That's because in swing states when you vote for Romney, it comes up for Obama.

Just curious, does anyone remember what time New Hampshire was called in 2008, or 2004, for that matter? . . Okay, I’m getting a little antsy. : )

That is what I'm praying for. I know that in WV there will be a very large number of Dems voting for Romney.

They may be higher then the GOP but they are still way underperforming 2008.

In Col. I read that the GOP actually beat the Democrat EV.
