So far:
Turnout at GOP precincts has been unbelievable.
In Darke Couty, which went 2:1 for Bush in 04, they are looking at 80% turnout and thousands of additional R voters.
In Allen County, heavy R turnout.
In Montgomery County (Kerry won by 2% in 04), the west side (D) precincts are coming in under 20% by mid-afternoon!!! Our R precincts are outpacing them 2:1.
Reports of other red counties are at tremendously high levels.
BASED ON THIS . . . .
wait for it
not only would I "call" Ohio now for McCain, but it's entirely likely he could end up being a sizeable statewide victory margin. I won't tell you yet what it could be, but it portends amazing things for the rest of the states.
Makes me wonder, though, if anyone other than McCain would have been savvy enough to pick Palin.
I grew up just up the road from Montgomery - Mason....thanks for the uplifting news.
From the Columbus Dispatch Blog:
Don Klco, chair of Franklin County’s Democratic Central Committee and Bill Anthony, a member of the Board of Elections, have canvassed several polling East Side polling places this afternoon. This is what they’ve seen:
A 75 percent turn out at Living Faith Apostolic Church on Mock Road.
An 80 percent turn out at Driving Park Recreation Center, where the first voter lined up at 3:30 a.m.
And a 90 percent turn out at Linden McKinley High School.

What’s the news from RURAL and Southwest ohio???
Very good news.
Thanks LS!
I have a good source that reports extremely high turnout in Bucks County PA (suburb of Philly). Additionally he has heard of very, very heavy turnout in the Pittsburgh area. These are areas where high turnout is good for McCain.
VOTE!!!!!!!
Very encouraging. Thanks!
Oh yeah. Why should democrats even get out of bed? Oboma has already won - or so they've claimed.
Cool.
PRAY PRAY PRAY AND VOTE! God Bless AMERICA!!!!!
Sounds good to me for now. Let’s all just expect ALL of Cleveland and Cincinnati to come out an hour before the polls close and try to swing this the other way, so get out and vote and take nothing for granted!
GMAN
Picking Palin was a brillant move by McCain and threw the entire election plans of Obama's thugs into disarray.
How does this compare to 2006? That’s the year we got our clocks cleaned in Ohio.
“So, is MSM’s deciding O is the winner making R’s vote like never before, and D’s stay home because they figure it’s in the bag?”
I am wondering the same thing! It could be that the MSM propaganda with the polls is backfiring.
..God bless the great state of Ohio...
I will say one thing, if McC pulls this out, there is going to be a huge area of research into just what went wrong with the polls. My own instinct is that it's related to the same process by which advertisers stop targeting popular consumer items at 45+ viewers.
That is, voters in this age bracket are set and simply disengage from public dialogue if the psychic cost is too high; this is the reason for so many refusing to participate in polls.
I hope and pray your prognostication isn’t just wishful thinking.
You should have told him there will be riots either way
Us versus Them (media)
MSM deathwatch.....Nov 5
Great news ... what is your source? local newz in OH? or?
RE: “You think I might see the glow of riot fires on the Chicago horizon from my suburban home? “The whole world’s watching”. 1968”
**************
You might well see something — I strongly believe there will be some sort of rioting in Chicago, whether Zero wins or loses. If he wins — some celebratory antics complete with gunshots, overturned/burned vehicles, etc. If he loses, all h*ll breaks out -—
I hope you are many miles from downtown!
