Wednesdays CBS Early Show continued pressing the theme that the election is over as co-host Maggie Rodriguez declared: "Countdown to election day. The swing state showdown continues as Obama appears to open up an advantage in early voting." Co-host Harry Smith cited polls with wide margins to further shovel dirt on the McCain campaign: "New polls out with just 13 days to go until election day. A poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal gives Barack Obama a ten-point lead over John McCain, that's 52% to 42%. A poll by Reuters, C-Span, and Zogby shows the same ten-point spread." Correspondent Jeff Glor followed with a report: "Those poll numbers you mentioned and the math in these states makes the situation look increasingly difficult for John McCain."
Glor went on to describe how: "John McCain will campaign today in New Hampshire, Ohio, and Florida, following a big push for Pennsylvania." However, Glor immediately threw out the wet blanket: "Though registered Democrats now outnumber Republicans in the state by more than a million voters..." Glor also touted how Smiths Tuesday interview with McCain was referenced by Joe Biden during a recent stump speech: "Joe Biden is sharply challenging John McCain over those controversial robocalls...Following Harry Smith's interview." Highlighting an Obama stump speech, Glor declared: "Obama pointing out that Florida, where he spent Tuesday, and where we've seen those long early voting lines, lost more jobs than any other state in the past year." Glor concluded the segment by observing: "In Florida, and other battleground states, officials say Democrats are early voting in greater numbers than their Republican counterparts, a good sign for Obama."

SeeBS Smooze ... fake but accurate!
The whole idea of early voting is for Democrats to vote.
There the MSM goes again, trying to convince America that Obama has already won.
If/when McCain/Palin wins on November 4th, I can’t wait to see the looks on the MSM faces!!!
No need for Dems to vote. They’ve already won?
How was Bush doing during early voting?
I don’t support early voting...that said, this report is meant to suppress the Republican vote...not going to happen! We love McCain-Palin!
I vote early because I work at a voting precinct on election day 6 am till 8pm. So I have to vote early. My husband will vote early because he leaves for Houston at 6am and gets home about 7 pm, so he will vote early with me this weekend.
This post gets my “shocker of the day” award.
I simply do not believe the polls. I’ve never been polled; I don’t know anyone who ever has. I don’t know where or how they get their numbers...and frankly, I don’t care. I wish there was a ban on polling because it is stupid. No one really knows what the outcome will be - it is just wanna-be hacks trying to sound important.
For instance, I hear a poll that Sarah Palin is hurting McCain. Uh, okay...that is why she is drawing crowds of upwards of 30,000.
It is just a scam to scare away and discourage GOP voters (in my humble opinion).
Thats what i was thinking. How stupid these people are. It just means that on the 4th there will be plenty of room for the millions of pubbis to vote.
I hate early voting. Dont trust it a bit.
They’re doing it again, only this time its’ WAAAAAAYYY before the polling booths close. I hate the media.
It totally blows my mind, that they think this will suppress Conservatives. Shakes head.
If anything, it fires us up,LOL!
Early voting. What a crock of Democrap. Pretty soon it’ll be “just call this 1-800 number any day of the year it’s convenient, and your vote counts!”
Do not be fooled. VOTE!!!
Hear that, Obama voters? No need to bother with all of that voting stuff - ACORN's got it covered for you. Just crack open another beer and relax. Your "tax cut" check is already in the mail. ;)
How do they know how early voting is going? They’re already counting it?
And...maybe all the dems are voting early. I want to vote on voting day. Besides I’m not sure Mi has early voting. Haven’t seen any of it in my small community
