“This year that hasn’t been the case—it’s been pretty even and in some states the Democrats have come out in force (NC and FLA in particular).”
Got a link to that?
I live in Florida, and it has been dead even. However, factoring in requested absentee ballots that have not been returned yet, McCain would be ahead by about 35,000. The USA Today article posted above reflected Kerry was ahead in early voting by a 56-39% margin.
That article is a good reminder about how the media uses the same BS every election, i.e. “the youth vote seems really motivated this time” and how “the vast majority of early voters are Democrats.” When McCain wins next Tuesday, we need to archive the crap so when people start panicking in 2010 we can refresh some memories!
