WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama heads toward Election Day with an apparent lead over Republican Mitt Romney among early voters in key states that could decide the election. Obama's advantage, however, isn't as big as the one he had over John McCain four years ago, giving Romney's campaign hope that the former Massachusetts governor can erase the gap when people vote on Tuesday. About 25 million people already have voted in 34 states and the District of Columbia. No votes will be counted until Election Day but several battleground states are releasing the party affiliation of people who have voted early. So far, Democratic voters outnumber Republicans in Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio five states that could decide the election, if they voted the same way. Republicans have the edge in Colorado, which Obama won in 2008. Obama dominated early voting in 2008, building up such big leads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina that he won each state despite losing the Election Day vote, according to voting data compiled by The Associated Press. "In 2008, the McCain campaign didn't have any mobilization in place to really do early voting," said Michael McDonald, an early voting expert at George Mason University who tallies voting statistics for the United States Elections Project. "This time around the Romney campaign is not making the same mistake as the McCain campaign did."

We early voted on Friday here in Colorado. Our county clerk said it has been very busy all week.
It’s not only that, not all the Democrats are voting Obama. Some of these polls are counting all the D votes for Obama instead of the percentage that they are seeing in the polls. Obama has no where near the overwhelming support of Democrats that he had in ‘08.
Mitt is leading Oblamer in Florida, the DNC here wants an extra day to try and catch up, but the Gov said ehhhh..no!
THE FOREIGNER is also leading in NUMBER OF DOGS AND DEAD PEOPLE VOTING EARLY. THE FOREIGNER showed his SOCIALIST REAR END to the american people and it will not be close November 6th..
Just remember what Yahoo or AP tells us about Libya and then consider the same people are writing these stories.
I read a very liberal college sports forum, cause I’m a fan of their basketball team. They have a general forum where they have a prez poll going. Romney is winning hands down, four years ago, it was O all the way on the same forum! Hmmmm
It's going to be fun watching the MSM lose their last remaining shreds of credibility.
This doesn’t jive with what both Rasmussen and Gallup said, at least regarding Ohio. Unless there’s been a big change since the first reports.
Yahoo is Obama Campaign HQ.
I wonder who the exceedingly large 120-year-old vote ended up voting for...
Emailed this to a FL lib who was sobbing about the voting lines taking three hours.Why couldn’t the nasty Gov. Scott stop suppressing the vote.PITIFUL!
Florida has a law in regard to early votingthis law provides for 96 hours of operation for early voting locations, the exact same amount of hours as 2008. That same law was approved by President Obamas Department of Justice. The fact is simple as this: more Floridians have cast a ballot as of 5 days out than in 2008. For one side to demand that we break the law because they feel like they are losing is wrong.
Exactly!
Early voting helps enable voter fraud.
Indeed.
Yahoo: The economy seems to be improving. Americans seem to like Obama Care. Gas prices don’t seem too high. Obama’s foreign policy seems sound.
So apparently Baghdad Bob has a new gig shilling for Odungo.
