Here in conservative Inyo County in California, biggest turnout I have ever seen. Many voters waiting in line which you rarely see here. Its going to be a Romney win in this county anyway.
At least one outlet was pegging the California spread to be 15.9%.
Voting in L. A. County is down 11%. That means the Democrats are staying home in droves. If the Conservative areas of the state are going all out, this may turn out to be a rather competitive situation.
I have a hard time seeing Romney pull it out here, but with no effort at all, I think he’s going to be a lot closer than anyone would have thought.
And if even California is going that route, there’s going to be some very big surprises elsewhere.
Here’s something I dwell on all the time.
Most people look at 15.9% and think, oh we can never make that up. Well, you don’t have to. If you make up 7.95% + 1, you’ve just won.
If the Liberal areas are down by 11%, mostly Democrat, and the Conservative areas are up considerably mostly Republican, that might be a 15 to 20% flip.
7.99% + 1 Wow.
