According to an LA Times/Bloomberg poll of those who voted early in Florida, McCain leads Obama 49-45% even though more Democrats voted than Republicans:

No. This is not tabulated votes.

If you read the link you will see this: “A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll gave McCain a 49-45 lead over Democrat Barack Obama among Floridians who have already voted.”

This is a media-run poll of Floridians and a summation of the responses of those who told the pollster that they had already voted.

This is stupid. NO ONE should be reporting on voting. This whole early voting nonsense needs to go away.

Absentee or vote at your polling place on Election Day. That’s it.

I do hope that Colorado is still at stake. We need its EVs to win. I don’t think that conservatives in Pa will overturn the rotten vote system of Philadelphia.

Have you considered reporting this? Or is this your invitation for someone else to do so? Because I am sure plenty of FReepers would be more than happy to do it...

What do you think? Isn’t Obama and his pumped up fans supposed to be ahead in the early voting period?

I think this bodes very well for us.

I hope McCain wins, partly since I have to cover a local election that night and want to see my newsroom colleagues in shock. We are fairly evenly split, but everyone expects Obama to win even if they support McCain.

If its tied, its bad news for Obama. He's not that popular. Its quite possible he may be the dead guy from Weekend At Bernie's!

Exit polls with small samples are useless. Just my opinion.

The fact that McCain and Palin have no more visits planed for Florida tells me they have that state locked up.

Please turn them in to the authorities in both states! Voter fraud, in my mind, is close to treason!

CW is a powerful thing. But it may be completely wrong. I like to go against the CW. Because its not at all clear Obama will win.

I think the whole electronic voting thing is ripe for fraud.
Paper ballots or voting machines were much better.

TX, no surprise. We're told this year two northern liberals will rewrite the rulebook of American politics. Yet the race keeps on tightening.

Florida was never really in doubt, despite what the “polls” said; it’s a solidly Republican state. The media did an excellent fake job running interference for BH Obey-Me there.

OH, VA, CO and NV is where the real action is at.

This goes a long way to explaining today’s panicked call on Daily KOS for people to come to Florida and work for OBAMA this weekend....

The McCain List.

In my opinion, this bodes very well for John McCain in Florida.

Governor Crist also hinted today that internal polling shows McCain leading in Florida.
