Cincinnati station 55WKRC callers reporting EPIC turnout in Southwestern Ohio this morning and they all appear to be Romney types.

LOL. This could be a fun one..... What does the typical barak voter look like ?

[TSgt]

It was noted that they had Republican voting guides in hand.

Oh and they had jobs and weren’t wearing Patchouli.

[wonkowasright]

Ah the voting guides. That takes all the fun out of speculating based on wardrobe, personal grooming practice, piercings, taking the bong pipe to the polling place, etc.

Oh well carry on then.

Urban Dictionary: patchouli

Obama men look like Rasputin and so do the women.

numbers guy, obama will carry the co by way more than 100,000 but romney needs to hold down the 69% for obama coming out of there?

Bush beat Kerry in 2004 in Ohio with Kerry winning Cuyahoga by 448K to 222K. Obama won Cuyahoga in 2008 458K to 200K (note the lower vote total, which I assume is due to population decline, total 2-party vote in Ohio was pretty much the same in 2004 and 2008).

If Romney's within 100K in Cuyahoga, he wins Ohio going away. But that isn't going to happen. If he keeps it to 220K or under, that's a good sign because that parallels what happened in 2004, when Bush won the state.

But I think the key to all this isn't percentage, it's turnout. Obama's going to win Cuyahoga by something close to 2-1. It's how many people vote there that's the key, because that will have a huge influence on the margin. That's why I would be curious to see a comparison, by mid-day, of early votes plus turnout thus far in Cuyahoga as compared to 2008. I don't know if that sort of information is available, but it could be telling.

I am in Southern Montgomery County (Republican area even though Dayton is a Democratic hell hole) and it was the largest voting line I have ever seen. I bet it was an hour wait. In fact, it was so crowded that I left and will return to vote after lunchtime. I think this is a good sign!!

BTW -
I wish we could give Cleveland to Canada! F-in liberals!

Blogger Ali who has been on top of these numbers says the 28% is too low because they are "still counting" in SoS office.

My R source says the magic number is 6% to overcome ALL early votes (not just Ds). He bases this on the 40% number. Again, I think the "magic number" to beat is >140k today.

"I’m really curious as to what the early vote + turnout totals are in Cuyahoga County at, say, 1 p.m. today as compared to 2008. That will say a lot about Ohio."

Then why aren't you on this thread. Just posted Cook Political Report's spreadsheet on Ohio Early Voting. Bad news for Bobo!

Thanks for the link!

Pretty easy. We can beat this with Warren, Guega, and one other small county alone.

bttt

[beebuster2000]

more info from co-workers at plant. big lines, some people couldnt even vote it was so crowded.

remember, most of the jug-eared communist’s supporters (i.e. wealth-draining parasites) don’t get up until the crack of 12:00 or 1:00PM.

That, and it takes time to get the buses, free lunches and preprinted ballots organized and handed out.

One interesting observation is that the last “November 6th” Presidential win was in 1984 by none other that President Ronald Reagan.

My first election after coming of age. Thanks for this.
