Can someone explain something re: Ohio... Are the tallies we’re seeing at present (O 57 R 42) the early voting numbers? If so, this is way below Obama’s expected strength in the early voting. Do I have this right?

Yes; but in fact, it is very likely even better than that.

Red counties (like the one around Cincinnati) are seeing near-all-time-record turnout. Have they been reported yet?

And elsewhere, the lines are so long in SW Virginia (coal country, and NOT near DC, so likely very red) that voting there has been extended.

Remember ALL the MSM and Fox have been invested in the "it's a TIE!" meme for so long; and that they have an interest in maintaining ratings.

Cheers!

From hillbuzz. Looks like Sissy Chrissie and the other conga line freaks are worried:

744pm CST — Chris Matthews is claiming that the Ohio secretary of state is too partisan. This is more laying the foundation for Obama to lose Ohio. Ken Blackwell, former Ohio Secretary of State is talking. He’s saying that Matthews is nuts.

Oh, and apparently F Chuck Todd has talked to insiders in both camps who expect Romney to take FL by less than 100,000 votes. Read more http://hillbuzz.org/

Romney has edged into a very narrow lead in FL with 76% counted!!!
