They pulled the link? They are SOOOOO worried that news will get out early that Obama is done. Panic about to hit the dems! ----------------------------------------

Freeper made video featuring a FR clip:You Shouldn't vote...(for Obama) hits 1,100 views.

My knowledge of Ohio is pretty limited, but shouldn’t Romney have a bigger lead in Cincinnati? I thought that was Republican territory...

[redgolum]

Don’t believe it. To early to tell. By early evening if the trend hold up then maybe.

And also remember that just tells them how many votes need to be made up.

The socialists got the 0bamacare win. Now it’s OUR turn.

[Red Badger]

And they assume that ALL (D) voters vote for Obozo. That ain’t necessarily so.............

[comebacknewt]

Can’t imagine those numbers are accurate.

Hope so because it would point to a blowout Romney win in Ohio, but most are expecting Obama to have anywhere between a 10% to 25% lead in the early voting numbers there.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Cuyahoga, which includes Cleveland, should be a Democratic stronghold, and perhaps the one area where Democratic early-voting efforts should have produced their biggest lead. Instead, Romney has a lead of about 14,000 votes already, 127,570 to 113,373.

WUH-HUT?! Wooooooooooooowwwww!!!

If Romney is up in Ohio by 92K in early voting, paint Ohio red on the map. It was reported yesterday that the Obama campaign would “declare victory” based on early returns in Ohio in order to discourage and demoralize the Romney vote. This situation, if indeed true, would put the shoe on the other foot.

About right?

Hopeful but not expectant. Don’t want to be crushed by wishful thinking.

These early voting numbers are very encouraging. The only negative I can see is that a lot of Republicans were so gung-ho to get the Kenyan Commie out of office that they couldn't wait for today and voted early, thus tamping down the Election Day vote, since republicans are only allowed to vote once.

For the statistically inclined, here is a link to the 2008 vote in Ohio. Scroll down a bit for the county-by-county tabulation.

That was bad data, which is why the story was pulled.

Obama will have a lead coming out of early voting (which includes absentees in Ohio's tally); what matters is how large the lead is. In 2008, he netted more than 300,000 votes in the early period, and won the state by 262,000. This time, he's down at least 125,000 so far (as of yesterday, some votes are still coming in this morning).

Our peeps on Twitter (including LS) think we need to get about a 6% turnout margin today to win, and the last Dispatch poll showed Romney winning in-person voters by 11%. It'll be close (I think), but I think we pull it off.

People need to have a strong shot in the arm of 2004......these kind of early voting figures were touted by Dems causing a tidal wave of motivated late Bush voters.......

until them polls close, it is healthy to believe this is on a knife edgde...healthy for the campaign that is, not your average FReepers health!

[rawhide]

Wow! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[neefer]

Cleveland's local channel 5, WEWS, reported last night that there were fewer Democrats voting early than last election. Link here.

"While Democrats state the poll numbers show the early vote benefits them, it’s interesting to note as a percentage, the early vote reflects an uptick for Republicans compared to their early voting numbers in 2008."

[SE Mom]

Thoughts on this?

[Bon mots]

The Democrats might even muster an early lead, but once all the Republicans get out of work and vote, it will go the other way very quickly
