those voting “other” all went for McCain!
That makes it 55% McCain to 44% Obiwan

This should state Dems up 80K voters rather than votes for added clarity. I feel many of those Dem voters are likely voting McCain.

A FL loss is really bad news....

A FL win is really good news.

Never understood this early voting. Maybe someone can explain. What if one of the candidates drops off, for whatever reason, prior to election day—what happens to those votes?

No one is counting the votes. This is BS.

I have tried to early vote a couple of times, and it is just way too long of a wait , so I have to vote on Election Day.

The heavy turnout in Broward County is not good news, because Broward is rabid Democrat territory.

What is the normal wait you should expect on election day?

You people need to get a grip. The Dems should be up WAY more than this if their supposed support is so high.

This doesn’t tell us who’s voting for who and it doesn’t tell us anything about how the election will go.

Some smart fellow earlier today said that trying to predict election day votes from early voting is like trying to predict the weather by looking at what you ate for lunch. The two have no correlation whatsoever.

Among 16 percent of Florida voters who said they had cast early ballots, Kerry received 56 percent of those compared to Bush’s 39 percent

Did these numbers include early voters (voting in person) AND absentee ballots sent in?...just curious.

Florida will NOT go to Osammie! Count on it!

Although this is not scientific means at all, I have driven often through parts of town that are HEAVILY DimoRAT and in 2000 and 2004 were LITTERED with Goron and Kerry signs everywhere. NOW .. those same neighborhoods are 10-to-1 McCain signs. Osammie will NOT win Florida!

I voted yesterday. What was weird was the 2-3 Black americans that were hanging around in the parking lot right outside the campaining zone with stacks of literature.

Didn’t get anything from them. It was just creepy seeing them hanging around.

How many Dems are PUMAs?

Exactly! More Democratic voters doesn't necessarily equal an Obama lead.

Yes. McCain will win Florida, I am almost certain of it. I have yet to vote. I plan to vote early but don’t want to wait in line. I suppose I could leave work at 3 or so and go vote, but choose to work. Weekends are for family and errands.

But my later early vote or on-time election day vote will still count. I don’t think I am unique.

If my math and assumptions are correct, this means that it's going to be very close.

If the party ID holds at 4%, then McCain is ahead.

My assumptions are:

McCain gets 95% of GOP voters, 13% of Dems.
Obama gets 87% of Dem voters, 5% of GOP.
Independents are 55% Obama, and 45% for McCain.

No, they’re not counting votes yet. This is just counting *voters* by party registration, which is public record. How they all voted is anyone’s guess until November 4.

Also note that early voter party registration is often significantly different than the numbers on election day. I’m running a state legislature campaign and we’re fully expecting to lose the absentee/early vote by a significant margin, and then win the election-day vote by a similar margin. Lucky for us, more people vote on election day; I’m expecting a win.

Oh, it is just the Costanza’s and Seinfeld’s voting early to beat the rush in Del Boca Vista. Same people who are in the cafeteria at 4:00 PM.

In 2004 exit polls showed FL percentages were 41% GOP, 37% Dem, 23% Indie.

I thought election results for early voting were not suppose to be released (or is this just some sort of convoluted exit polling data?).

Right the votes have not been counted , it is party representation they are referencing. No one knows the vote totals. Please look at # 6 post .
