The trend fits conventional wisdom for the election year, with excitement for the election season coming from older, white voters—a demographic that tends to be conservative.

The next enemy of the left: old white folks.

I think we all know by the time the polls close everyone in that neighborhood will have voted whether they are above or below the ground.

I hope that this is indicative of a national trend.

They aren’t stupid. There is no free stuff for voting early. You get PAID for voting on election day.

The higher turnout among affluent voters could mean those residents have more free time to go to the polls early, he said.

It could also mean that they care more about America than they do sitting around on their fat asses, watching "The View" and Oprah while eating a couple of crates of bon bons.

The fix is in.

Sure, white affluent voters just sit around all day doing nothing.

Uhhh OK, yeah that must be it. Or, it may be more like we know the yutes aren’t too excited and now their most reliable voting bloc is MIA. I think this could get a fair degree uglier for the dims than what the polls are presently indicating.

Caller to Rush’s show today said that Cook County didn’t mail out the military ballots!!. The Lefties, however, hand-delivered 2,600 ballots to prisoners who are not allowed to vote per their State Constitution.

2012 ticket 90% of the blacks would go nuts and vote GOP out of spite or stay home.

Not a single black that didn’t vote in ‘04 will vote in ‘12 if Zero isn’t on the ticket.

Pro: Clinton’s the only Democrat who can win in 2012

“I believe in what President Obama’s doing,” the woman, Sylvia Davis said. “I believe in his agenda and I believe if we don’t vote then we’re just turning back the hands of time.”

Spoken like a true brain-dead OblahMao sheeple.

“I believe in his agenda and I believe if we don’t vote then we’re just turning back the hands of time.”

Fortunately this dingbat isn't typical. She's parroting exactly the "turning back the clock" focus group soundbite that the man-child has been putting out every chance he gets. The implication is that "turning back the clock" means turning back the clock to slavery and Jim Crow, and it's sickening that the media lets man-child get away with this disgraceful slur.

Fortunately it appears from this story that most minority voters are voting with their feet, or rather not voting. The implied statement in staying away from the polls is that we don't believe that letting the Republicans run the country means the return of slavery, and this is a welcome realization.

That’s all very interesting but what I’d like to know is what’s the turnout rate among the cemeteries - probably up around 9,000% or whatever is needed.
