Pew was #2 most accurate poll last week of election in 2008!

I voted early, last Sunday, in Florida, and CAN verify that Holder’s “people” were out in full force. Nice to know their advantage has dropped off some...still, we FLORIDIANS need to get out he the vote!

Great, but this is one reason I hate hate hate early voting. Not only is it an open door for RAT fraud but I cannot believe that these early reports don’t influence voter turnout on the real election day.

There is a reason RATS and liberals are the ones who fought for and will die to keep early voting. This is part of “whatever it takes” to them.

Don’t be too sure...I can see some left wing federal judge ORDER certain counties in Ohio to stay open through November 7, until BO can drag his people to the precincts.

When Florida is a landslide, and OH, PA, NH, IA, etc. are called by the networks for Romney early, I expect disheartened and lazy libs on the West Coast to stay home.

That will expand the margin of victory in the popular vote beyond what all these polls say.

Some places are seeing wait times for early voting that exceed 90 minutes.

I’m starting to get excited. I am on the election board, so my workday will begin at 6 am and run through 9:30 or 10:00 pm. It is going to be VERY interesting.

Outside of California, The west coast number of voters is simply not as large as the east coast total.

It doesn’t look likely for Romney to take California (it seldom if ever looks likely for the GOP to take California) but the important factor is that the EAST coast where the Dems have their biggest number of votes may suffer from a greatly reduced turnout which should hurt the Dems more then the GOP.

Not being I them ow about such matters, I have been wondering how it’s known that candidate A is leading candidate B before the votes are counted on Election Day. Any help enlightening me is thanked in advance.

I told friends a month ago that by 10 pm est we’d hear wailing from the usual networks as they try to comprehend just how the result is so different from what they thought it would be.

They're making assumptions based on whose voting, the party registration of those requesting early or absentee ballots and where these votes are coming from. If a counnty in OH that went for McCain in 2008 is having a strong early voting turnout it's assumed that a majority of those early votes will be for Romney.

Gallup and Pew are getting their numbers from their polling. They're compiling stats on who's already voted and who they say they're voting for.

A few others here have displayed some interest in what Intrade was showing with regard to the election.

Just now, I checked and Intrade reveals a 14.6% chance of the Republicans capturing the White House, the Senate, and the House. By over 85%, they don’t see that happening.

In the general election, they show Obama winning by about 66.5% vs 33.5% for Romney.

Looks to me like there’s some money to be made. I’m not inclined to give out so much personal information to participate.

Was just thinking of this yesterday. I think this sucker is going to be called very early on. Then, as you said, the DNCp will feign marvel at what Romney accomplished.

At least if it’s a massive beating, the mentally challenged won’t be able to claim tainted votes to be the deciding factor.

Can’t wait to see the empty park in Chicago, where the Kenyan celebrated with the fawning masses in 2008.

“...Get’n close to the big day!...”

I voted absentee this time. I work in the oil & gas fields and I’m a long way from home. There was no way I could personally get back home to vote and I was not going to be denied. Everyone I work with out here has either voted absentee or is taking time off to travel home just to vote. All of us, myself included, would crawl over broken glass to vote for the American even though he was not my choice in the primaries. I don’t know a single one out here in this business so far that has, or will, vote for the Kenyan. We know our jobs and the production of America’s energy resources depend on the Kenyan’s total defeat. We’re all praying for a complete and re-astounding rout of this Kenyan evil off the backs of the American people.

LOL!

There's even a rumor going around that the Dem Party machine is going to be handing out free booze and pot on WEDNESDAY outside each polling station.
