Some see GOP voting tsunami coming
examiner ^ | October 30, 2012 | 4:52 pm | Paul Bedard

Democrats more than Republicans are getting their most loyal supporters to vote early, but with polls showing a close race among those who have voted so far, concerns are being raised about a GOP tsunami on the actual Election Day, next Tuesday.

According to a GOP analysis of early voting and absentee ballot requests provided to Secrets, the Democrats are turning out their most reliable, or so-called "high propensity voters" than Republicans, leaving fewer for Election Day. The GOP is pushing weaker supporters to vote early, expecting high enthusiasm to drive their regular supporters to the polls next week.

The positive wave of GOP voters that wiped out the mid-term, Democrat congress in 2010, is about to embark and vote by the millions, come next Tuesday, Election Day and politically destroy both Obama and major numbers of Democrat office holders!!! The Obamabot media has nary a clue what’s coming to wipe them out. The Democrat Party has had tons of ample warnings to broom Obama out-of-office. They refused...so...now they can go down with him!!!

GeronL your comment reminds of a Bloom County cartoon in 1984 when the Meadow party had their political convention across the street from the democratic convention and a democratic delegate accidentally wandered in with a Mondale button on. He asked Steve Dallas who the candidates were and Steve told him a “A talking penguin and a dead cat” the guy took off his campaign button button said “That’s better than the democrats”

Why the hostility? Most here a few months ago couldn’t stand Romney when he was being pushed in the primaries.

I never ever vote early, I also wait till day of election so my ballot doesn’t mysteriously disappear.

Election day voters are also working with the maximum available information on the candidates and the issues.

This guy calls it for Romney by November 6th 8:00 PM-— If Obama is re-elected can you imagine the mess he is going to inherit? http://www.teapartytribune.com/2012/10/30/if-obama-is-re-elected-can-you-imagine-the-mess-he-is-going-to-inherit/

I voted yesterday via absentee. I wanted to cast my ballot in person on the 6th (I was going to go early in the morning, with a suit and tie even), but other responsibilities arose for next week.

Count this Californian as being on the crest of that tsunami, and with more pride and conviction than I have ever felt in several decades of never missing a vote.

Now, I must continue to convince some iffy voters to do the civic responsibility thing.

I am not a Romney fan either, but Obama has to go and there is no real third party momentum this time

I am going to crawl over broken glass to vote Ohole out...even though I live in NY. Voting straight republican. Who knows what might happen? Most (white) democrats I know in the NYC area are disgusted with the bastard.

For the iffy voters I offer two points that Romney has in his favor: 1.He will get rid of Obamacare and 2.He will get rid of all the anti-business ideologues in the White House. These are two measures which are easily taken that would substantially improve the economy in the short term.

I agree. The fine folks that I stood in line with for over an hour at 8pm at night for Chick-fil-a are going to patiently turnout election day and fire 0bama and his band of America haters.

Yeah, I suppose a win would basically show approval for Obama’s foreign policy.

I just have a hard time getting over the fact Ryan supported TARP.
