OK, just so i have this correct. The average poll taken by the polling companies samples 54-59% democrat, 32-35% republican, and the rest independent. So, according to the polling data, with democrats leading in early voting (Just voting folks, not counted votes) it stands to reason that many of the democrats voting early are in fact voting for Romney. So, when the polling companies are posting their data, they need to take a hard look at the numbers they are feeding us, because in them they are saying Romney is winning.
Anyone to discuss?
I'll play.
This is a question I've been asking myself ever since the first time I saw Karl Rove's whiteboard about Ohio early voting.
We've all seen it a million times -- Karl Rove counting the early voting in Ohio and how the drop in Democrat early voting and the rise in Republican early voting has wiped out Obama's lead of 2008.
That all sounds good, but the question is:
How many of those Democrat early votes were actually for Romney?
In Ohio, with Obama's war on coal taking it's toll, and Catholic voters rising up for Romney, some of these early Democrat votes MUST be for Romney!
It's something Karl never talks about, probably because it's unknowable until these votes are counted.
But it's something that we should all keep in mind. The same question can be asked about the Democrat early votes in all the other states. How many are actually for Romney? And how many Republican early votes are actually for Obama?
Food for thought.
