What was the party voting breakdown in this county in 2008?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I don't remember much from then, I was so sick I was almost comatose. There is a lot more enthusiasm this year for sure, most of it on our side.

The local dems are just being snarky, nothing to play but the race card, as usual. They are running scared!

The county is important but let’s look at the whole state. At the end of early voting in 2008, there were 364,00 more dems than reps.

Early voting ended today for 2012.

As of this morning, there were only 106,000 more dems than reps for all early voting for 2012.

We have reduced their edge from 364000 to 106000 with today left.

Also obama beat mccain by 236000 or 2.8%. Obviously mccain made up some ground on election day.

We should swamp mccain’s effort tuesday. Plus crossover dems and indy support. Mason-dixon 6 point edge feels right for Romney right now the way I see it.

Link to 2008 election breakdown for St. John's

In 08 it was 53.11 republican to 27.38 Democrat

IIRC its close to 70 R 30D (at the very least 2x as many R as D). I live here, St. John’s county is solid Republican so it’s not some weird swing. People here are fired up for Mitt though (or at least to see Obama gone). It’s a nice place (lot of wealth too), we’d like to keep it this way.
