A pretty objective news story. Who would have thunk it.

Any numbers on Grayson? I hope he gets humiliated.

Statewide, Republicans are also leading Democrats in early voting. Of the 778,000 early voters so far, just 33 percent statewide have been Democrats compared with 53 percent Republicans.

Florida may be one of those states where all the Democrats are swept out of office except for only the minority districts.

I sure hope these numbers are the rule and not the exception across the US.

...local Democrats who fear that unless the trend is quickly reversed, they could be looking at wholesale defeats

I picture them on the beach looking way, way up to see the top of the tsunami...(teanami)...

[Fitzgerald added that he believed Republicans were more energized this year, but he did not expect the numbers that he is seeing so far in early voting]

I view this literally as a life and death election, as do many in te Tea Party.

I put a lot at risk, writing the biography of Harry Reid. I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t think the country was in peril.

I would say the Dem there is toast. Sarasota is not as conservative as just south of there in Ft. Myers - home of scum Connie Mack IV the open borders DIABLO who’s grand pappy fixed baseball games.

Sarasota is a bit more liberal but lots of retirees who are suffering and who will suffer a LOT more under ObamaCare.

ObamaCare is the first Islamic tax on non-Muslims in America. Also called a Jizya. Jizya’s are common in Islamic countries where non-muslims are taxed.

The Dems will wait until election night and figure out how many ballots they need to stuff in the boxes to win.

That is sending a panic through local Democrats who fear that unless the trend is quickly reversed, they could be looking at wholesale defeats, including a loss for incumbent state Rep. Keith Fitzgerald, D-Sarasota.

Well, DUH. We are going to kick out every one of these Liberal trash as hard as we can.

And the GOP had best take heed, because the entire RINO, good old boy establishment is going to be sailing through the door after them right soon.

Fitzgerald added that he believed Republicans were more energized this year, but he did not expect the numbers that he is seeing so far in early voting.

This will be the constant comments made on Nov.3 when the GOP sweeps.

'They knew the GOP was going to have a strong showing, but they didn't know it was going to be as strong as it is going to be'.

Don't be misled by the 'tightening of the polls', when you have to 'rally your base' your Party is in serious trouble.

The dead vote after the polls have closed.

I believe this eagerness to vote on the part of republicans and actual Americans across the country will cause an even greater tidal wave of democrat carnage than suspected. Unfortunately, fraud will be RAMPANT this year. It will be the only thing which can keep particular elections close.

Voter Registration in Florida.

Democrats 41%
Republicans 35%
Other/indy 24%

statewide early voting
53 Republicans
33 Democrats
14 Indy

So,
Republicans +18
Democrats -8
Indy -10

is this basically how it’s been working nationally?

Let’s assume so.

So, if you want to check the polls in a particular state, figure out how many registered Republicans there are in a particular state, as a percentage, and add 18%.

Did the pollster talk to that many Republicans? If not, the poll is very possibly undercounting Republicans, and the poll is questionable on that basis.

In Delaware, it’s 47% Dems, 29% Reps, 24% indy.

Add in the 18 to Reps, subtract 8 from Dems and 10 from Indy
and you get - 47% Republicans, 39% Dems, 14% Indy. Is this what the polls say in Delaware?

Well, no, not at all.

Survey USA talked to 45% Dems, 32% Republicans, 21% Indys.
They talked to way too few Republicans and too many Dems and Indys.

Monmouth talked to more Indys (self identified?) than Democrats and more Democrats than Republicans. Roughly 31.2% Republicans. It should be, based on what we’re seeing on the ground, 47%. Short 16%.

Magellan had it at 47% Dems, 38% Reps, 15% Indy. That’s the closest to Florida. Add 9% to Reps, subtract 8% from Dems, subtract 1 from Indys.

Note that if you give 9% to Christine and take 9 away from Coons, it’s pretty much a toss up. And 10% to Christine and 10% from Coons means Christine wins.
