Wow! Obama is almost ties with Obama!
I voted in a traditionally Republican District (Bucks County, north of Philly). There were only Obama signs out at the polling place, not a single McCain/Palin sign, some Republicans for Murphy (who is a doofus), no Republicans. Some people wore Obama gear, no one showed any sign of support for McCain/Palin. When people walked around with sample ballots, many more took the dem ballots. There was an Obama Poll Watcher there, no one for the Republicans. It’s like the Republican party had dropped off the face of the earth. My husband (a democrat who voted a straight Republican ticket this time) and I left very, very discouraged. It was as though I had gone to sleep and had awakened decades later to a strange, new land. My only hope is that all the people dressed for work there voted for McCain and weren’t the type to wear their votes on their sleeves. And I’m sure there were some of those.
I wrote an email to the County Republican Party with my thoughts about their absence.
“I think the McCain folks would prefer that to most of the other projections. It would mean that my projection from last night overestimated Obama.”
Obama overestimated Obama.
That said, I have noticed and appreciated your posts on the 0ne's underperformance in the latter primaries which will be, I think, repeated today. Perhaps even moreso with the PUMAs and democrats that are just plain afraid of Obama. Time will tell...
That is discouraging PA news though reports from other parts of the country are more upbeat.
Last time the exits showed Kerry up 60-40 in PA and he won by only 51-49. I fear this year’s polls are going to show an 0bama edge of something like 70-30.
Tarrance group sensing huge 11th hour undecided shift to McCain.
I hope you’re right about reports from other areas being more upbeat. I can use all the good news I can hear. It was the most discouraging voting experience of my lifetime.
Why would there be a dem versus Republican ballot in a general election?
They are all wrong of course. The actually results will be a little bit different.
The big question is did he vote anyway?
I remember they all had john kerry leading in the polls...and electoral votes..they were wrong...
There should not be a “dem” ballot and a “repub” ballot.
Long time dittohead reader and first time poster...
Just want to share my fears that this will probably be the beginning of the end of the America I love, by the hands of the islamo-fascists Manchurian candidate Hussein.
I fear for the fragmentation of conservative movement after this day...
Dark years ahead indeed. I pray with all my might for this nation to see the light and the great gift that was given to us in the person of Sarah Palin.
I grew up in Doylestown. I went back after 20 years, sure isn’t what it used to be! Nothing but libs.....women holding hands downtown, made me sick.
Sorry. I misspoke. Dem sample ballots, paper, to use in the actual voting machine.
“Why would there be a dem versus Republican ballot in a general election?”
That’s the area. We live outside of Doylestown. It is turning very liberal.
