Article this morning about how early voting "favors" the Democrats. In Florida, however, the fail to mention that McCain has a 150,000 vote advantage among absentee voters, while Dems outnumbered Reps 100,000-50,000 among early voters. The total number of absentee ballots cast was almost 700,000 to this point.
As far as the rest of the article goes, they rattle off some Dem counties in Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and New Mexico where Dem voting is up slightly over 2004. This is to be expected because they have lost two elections. Also, Gov. Crist and Senator Mel Martinez have been very active recently, with Martinez touring several Miami neighborhoods. If we keep Miami within 5-6 points, we win easily, probably by more than Bush in 2004, because 0bama is going to get CRUSHED in North Florida. I doubt he gets higher than 32-33% north of I-4.
Link?
How do they know what people are voting?
It is all about the I4 rallies next to the early polling places.
Obama goons escort people to the polling stations.
Vans are pooling the people who can’t drive to the early voting spots.
It is ALREADY ELECTION DAY FOLKS!
I voted yesterday in TX. Yippee!!
Well, are they going to count the military’s votes this year?!
Hows do you know how many absentee votes there are ???
Are they published ???

This thread is useless without a link.

R’s up 3:2 among 630,000 absentee voters
D’s up 2:1 among 150,000 early voters
This is based on number of R’s vs. number of D’s that cast ballots. I’m assuming McCain will get 90%+ of R’s than 0bama gets 85%+ of D’s. This is not new by the way; Dems outnumbered Reps at the early voting stations in 2004(I was a poll watcher at one location in 2004, and remember being alarmed at the high number of Dem voters, things turned out OK:)). Reps have always outnumbered Dems with absentee ballots.
