True. I live in ultra red Warren County, Ohio. There were *HUNDREDS* of people in line when the polls opened this morning. It has NEVER been like that!
Nice trend, but not nearly enough. 1800 vote swing is only about 1.8%. Obama won by 4.6 margin in 2008. Independents may make the difference. A double digit lead in independents will add about 2.5%
Nobody knows if those people are voting R or D. We can speculate based on counties' overall voting histories but that's about it.
Should I be excited about some 1,800 vote swing in early voting for Hamilton County = Cincinnati where over 420,000 ballot cast in 2008?
In Manhattan, New York City:
I did not see a single Obama sign, button or bumber sticker on my way to work. That includes neighborhoods of Chelsea, Midtown, Upper East Side.
The only signs I saw were for Carolyn Maloney’s (D) opponent Chris Wight (R).
Good news. Let’s hope it turns out to be really good news
