I would say it’s premature to “call” Ohio for McCain (GO VOTE OHIO!!), I do believe McCain will win it.

That said, low Dem turnout seems to be happening across the state. I think that’s a sign of big early voting.

And I’ll bet that a goodly share of the ‘Rats turning out aren’t even voting for Barry....

Also:

a) a lot of '04 Dem turnout was driven by massive BDS not transferable to McCain (couldn't call him a "chicken hawk" could they?)

b) media bias may have bitten the Dems in the behind by promoting complacent low-voter turn-out for them while enraging the Republican base.

Guess we'll know later tonight or tomorrow.

Perhaps half of the “missing” are from early voting.

The rest are from overconfidence that Obama will win without bothering to vote.

Agreed - early voting bt Rats would account for low turnout perception.

On Sunday, Obama asked his mass of supporters, "How many of you have already voted?" Within the viewable area of supporters ALMOST ALL had their hand raised. I've been wondering since 'how minimal votes' he will have to be counted tonight. Hmmm..
