North Carolina reports 3,693 returned ballots as of this morning.
Yeppers. I feel like Randy Quaid here in “Independence Day” . . . “I been sayin’ it and sayin’ it . .. Ain’t I been sayin’ it?” This is going to be a JOLTING surprise for the Dems and pollsters and Government-controlled media.
Will somebody from North Carolina let us know when Obama Ads stop running on TV there.
With this early news, I hope its a sign of bigger things to come.
If they can’t vote for this Democrat and be able to live with their conscience, they won’t vote at all. I see a trend.
New Ras out today shows O 46, R 45. Anyone know if Ras still uses the 2008 polling model?
Keep the trend growing up, North Carolina!
I don’t think the dead people have voted yet.
I really wonder about the wisdom of releasing early numbers. I know it makes us feel better but it also gives the dimwits more time to gather votes or gear up for a legal battle.
I think it’s alright
Not sure. I think Rasmussen weighs by party affliation, but I read that pollsters identify Democrats/Republicans/Independents differently. So a 40D-30R-30I breakdown according to Rasmussen does not mean the same people to other pollsters.
So, not all pollsters take (say) your claim that you’re an independent on face value. The internals I’ve seen of Ras has shown Romney slightly trailing among indies, while other polls show independent advantage up by a ridiculous 15-points with Romney. That is one big danger in “unskewing” polls by party affliation.
But, I don't want to toss any cold water on this report. Despite Democrat fantasies about carrying North Carolina this year, it ain't gonna happen. Obama carried NC in '08 by a slim margin, and there are significant demographic trends in their favor over the coming decade, but this year belongs the Republicans, up and down the ballot.
This is probably a good indicator of voter enthusiasm.
That’s just the first round of early votes for Democrats...these guys will be back election day for another bite at the apple....they always do.
I will be voting as soon as my ballot arrives in the mail! Can’t wait to vote!
I will say this about Winston-Salem though, there are Obama bumper stickers and signs all over the place. Every day on my lunch break I walk by a big irritating O sign of the local Democratic campaign office.
A few days ago a girl asked me if I was registered to vote. I replied I sure am and she followed up with “have you moved or anything since you last registered?” I replied that I was confident that I was registered properly and in the right spot and that Romney was going to win easily. As soon as I said Romney she turned away and started to talk to some other people.
I was going to say much the same thing. I agree.
This is the year North Carolina and Virginia rejoin the Confederacy.
Is Winston Salem a college town?
