The Democrats in key swing states are splitting for McCain in big numbers. This effect has either not been noted, or has been ignored, by most pundits.
Democrats are beaming that their party is outperforming the Republicans in early voting, releasing numbers Wednesday that show registrants of their party ahead 54 percent to 30 percent among the 1.4 million voters who have gone to the polls early.
Poll gives McCain lead in Florida early voting
Yet, a poll of early voters in Florida provides a curious anomaly.
A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll gave McCain a 49-45 lead over Democrat Barack Obama among Floridians who have already voted.
Then we have all the Hillary Democrats, at sites like HillBuzz, reporting on potential McCain victories in Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire and even Maine!
In Pennsylvania, Democrats hard at work not just voting, but campaigning for McCain!
DEMOCRATS are staffing McCain offices across the state. DEMOCRATS are phone banking and canvassing for McCain. DEMOCRATS are raising large sums to fund this last week of campaigning.

As mentioned above, key indicators that Democrats in Florida are voting for McCain.
analysis indicates Democrats voting early in Florida are voting for John McCain in huge numbers

Disenfranchised Hillary Democrats in Iowa, New Hampshire and Maine also shifting to McCain.
And all of us agree that on election night, the media will be spinning and sputtering and trying to explain things that those of us on the ground have seen coming for months now.

if they are splitting aren’t they going to both?
Ouch, next time preview your post Blucher!
Pray and then go vote on Tuesday. Polls mean nothing without targeted action.
It’s accurate. I’ve seen enough over this long election to know now.
Take note WREC 600 AM in Memphis, Tn had their first seminar bho caller tonight on the Mike Fleming show, her name was Amy supposedly a doctor who had a conversation with a fellow worker who was black that ‘magically’ opened her eyes to bho and the small business plans he has.
It’s CHAOS, my friend. :)
Reagan Democrats!!!
“Sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they’ve got and win just one for the Gipper.”
Maybe Dutch is looking out for us...
My thought exactly ... There were what about 5-7% in the final tally that was attributed to Rush and his operation chaos followers. They sure couldn't change their registration back.
Likely the cause of some of the poll skew as well.
Hillary nearly broke even with Obami. That means nearly 50% of the party backed her. I have read that something like one in three Clinton supporters have decided to back McCain/Palin.
If this is true, and some of the reports now seem to support something like this taking place, Obami is dead in the water.
You can’t take a 1/6th or 16.66% hit on your base, as not be in serious trouble.
Obama is in trouble.
If he fails on November 4th, we’re going to see an onslaught of reporting that will absolutely pulverize the guy after the fact.
Some of it will take place anyway, even if he wins.
That’s why we have Sarah there as VP-to keep John honest and to keep the PUMA ladies happy. Sarah is our ace in the hole. Without her the RINO’s and the Hillarycrats would run wild, but first things first-let’s get John and Sarah elected.
Great Job!!!!
.....I've got several employees that live in NC and are hard core Dems.....
.....(which has always made for sporting conversations around October over the last ten years).....
.....of these, most have voted Republican (absentee, we work on the road) for the first time ever.....
.....and the rest said they are not voting at all.....
.....this is "one" (all be it small) anecdote that gives me a bit of confidence in what according to the MSM should be a totally depressing situation.....
The 401K policy by Obama should be the bullet that killed his hopes.
The second bullet was Obama’s revelations about “spreading the wealth” with Joe the Plumber. No one with any sense is going to allow bait and switch when it comes to taxes.
Why I think Mac will get many Puma or disgruntled dems. The Conservative base has still got to turn out for Mac.
My problem with early voting we are telling Acorn how many votes they have to got to “find” for BHO.
Maybe Puma can offset the Voter fraud we all knot that going on.
Not only are these ex-Hillary supporters pulling for McCain for Obama not choosing her for VP they also know that for thier original candidate to have a chance again McCain needs to win this one.
The headline I am looking at and replying under says McCain. So does the first line.
Yeah, they’re going for both. The point is PUMAs and other Democrat crossovers are a much more significant factor than Obamicans both in intensity of feeling and numbers.
The former translates into help in our GOTV efforts. The latter suggests that Obama trailing Kerry’s position in the early voting using the usual estimate based on 100% party loyalty may underestimate the degree to which McCain is out-performing Bush.
I have seen MANY similar ancecdotes posted here at FR. Although my liberal boss won’t admit it, I am positive he will be voting for mac given how his face looks every time I bring up bambi and how he tends to agree with me that bambi is too radical.
