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."

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.

As long as those absentees aren’t mostly fraudulent, imaginary people registered as Repubs (to complicate investigations) but voting for Obama.

I'll play. First, not requesting an absentee ballot does not mean that person is not voting. I did not ask for one and I'm voting next monday. Second, last Thursday (Oct. 11) at OSU, Obama had the lead singer for the Black Eyed Peas open the rally on the oval for him. After Obama finished, they had buses bracketing the oval to take anyone who wanted to go to the Franklin Co. board of elections to early voting. And the singer gave a mini concert in the parking lot of the board of elections. http://www.thelantern.com/campus/obama-don-t-boo-vote-to-ohio-state-oval-crowd-1.2923784?pagereq=2 "Following the rally, charter busses were available to transport people, accompanied by will.i.am, to and from an early voting location. “I need you fired up. I need you ready to go to vote. Because we’ve got some work to do,” Obama said."
