Some anecdotal info: Montgomery and Greene Co. (both of which went for Obama in 08) ran thorough precinct captain training sessions all summer. Captains call all Rs and Is in their precinct, then they walk for a visit and lit drop. These are neighbors, so usually they chat---it's not just a lit drop. In our county, they walk
a second time. They report back on the Is, who are asked who they plan to vote for.
In our county, the Is are going for Romney just under 2:1. Equally important, our captains are getting 60, 70, even 90% confirmations/personal contacts (usually, 30% is considered fine).
I'm getting info on some other counties, but again, how in the heck can ZEro even come close to winning OH with these numbers?

How do you explain this in Free Republic's breaking news sidebar this morning?
"One factor that may have pulled the party ID more heavily toward Democrats in this poll was early voting. One-in-five respondents (18 percent) said they have already voted, and, of those, almost two-thirds (63 percent) said they voted for Obama."

Bad sample. Just check the spreadsheet and see if that makes any sense. Good work LS.

I am hyper afraid that with all that foreign money pouring into Obamugabe’s hands that this election will see more voter fraud and intimidations than ever before in history. They play for keepsies...............and not very nice..........

It’s nice to see the level of effort made in this important state.
In 2008, in Colorado; virtually all the precinct walking was done by the other side.

Agreed. 0bamugabe will be buying votes in the last few hours, A BLATANT VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW. You gotta wonder why the left was so anxious to get driver's licenses to 0bama's amnestied illegals. BUT THE DEED WILL HAVE BEEN DONE AND IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO STOP IT. Any attempts to address it following the election will be met with screams of 'you're just trying to change the results because 0bama is black'..SAME OLD CRAP AS LAST FOUR YEARS!!!!
I HOPE I'M WRONG, THOUGH!!!!

Don’t know that the fraud that will def be a factor will be enough to make up the diff. But they sure will try. I think that “voters” are being bused in from states that are already in the bag to OH and the other swing states. And of course there’s always the old standby vote early and often. Who knows what else is going on.

I don’t have to explain it. I just give you numbers after numbers after numbers. Not REPORTS of what SOMEONE ELSE SAID. I give you the raw numbers. Check it yourself. In our county, “early voting” has been a disaster for the Ds.

Baloney. If you conspiracy freaks spent 1/10th the time working for a GOP victory as you do predicting Dem fraud, we'd be ahead by 10%.
We have poll watchers, lawyers, a R Sec of State, an R governor. So give it a rest.

Another poster indicated the poll is way off because a different site gave numbers of people who actually turned in their ballot (no party ID on that though IIRC). Not near as many as that poll would indicate have already actually voted.
I will admit, I was concerned with that poll when I saw it posted last night, but it appears to be flawed.

I swear, some people think the Dems are just completely invincible with their cheating machines ready to go.
The funny thing is, go to DU and they assert we are going to steal the election. Both sides assert superhuman cheating abilities of the other.
In reality, fraud impacts the election by maybe a point....and even that is maybe too high. It happens, but it is almost never a decider.

The truth is that the entire state machine is in republican hands with the Governor, House, Senate, Supremes, Treasurer, Sec of State all republicans and all state-wide ELECTED positions. (IOW, not appointees).
The Sec State position runs/oversees state elections. It will be harder for chicanery from democrats to work now than in 2004 when we had both a dem governor and dem sec state.

Even at the local/county level last summer the GOP recruited hundreds of poll watchers. I think they are on top of this.

I suppose they could bus in voters from KY or IL. IN, PA MI, and VA are all swing states now and they can not afford to bus in likely voters from those states.
Also OH has voter ID. You MUST show some form of ID in order to vote. DL, State ID, MIL ID, Pass Port, or recent, within one month, billing statement showing your LEGAL NAME and ADDRESS in order to vote. Otherwise you vote provisional and MUST prove you can vote within a certain amount of time or the ballots are thrown away uncounted.
