McCain up 100,000 in Florida, probably more

Posted on 10/22/2008 5:34:38 AM PDT by WestFlorida

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.

RUSH:...See, the message is the Democrats really care, they're motivated, they're inspired, they can't wait. We hear this every election, they can't wait to get to the polls, why, we're having to destroy them all sorts of ways. Don't let this happen. Find out how to early vote and get out there and do it and stun and shock these people in the media who are trying to make it look like the Democrats have already won this election on the basis of early voting. Look at these states they're tabulating, most of them are swing states. Nevada, North Carolina, Colorado, Florida, look at the states they're reporting on with early voting. They're all states that -- most of them -- that McCain needs or Obama, they both need, and right now if you don't know how to interpret all this, "Why, it's not a contest, the Democrats can't wait, these states are already in the bag for Obama, why should I, if I'm a Republican, go vote?" I urge you not to fall pray to this, not to succumb, and they're just going to continue these efforts in the next two weeks to depress you.

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!

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.
