I'll play.
This is a question I've been asking myself ever since the first time I saw Karl Rove's whiteboard about Ohio early voting.
We've all seen it a million times -- Karl Rove counting the early voting in Ohio and how the drop in Democrat early voting and the rise in Republican early voting has wiped out Obama's lead of 2008.
That all sounds good, but the question is:
How many of those Democrat early votes were actually for Romney?
In Ohio, with Obama's war on coal taking it's toll, and Catholic voters rising up for Romney, some of these early Democrat votes MUST be for Romney!
It's something Karl never talks about, probably because it's unknowable until these votes are counted.
But it's something that we should all keep in mind. The same question can be asked about the Democrat early votes in all the other states. How many are actually for Romney? And how many Republican early votes are actually for Obama?
Food for thought.
Well played, Earlybird. That would go for all the places of voting. I think Karl may be on to something but it may be bigger than he thinks. Even on Yahoo, and other political boards, the responses in the positive area and over 60% pro-Romney. It seems the only pro-Obama in bloggosphere are the writers of the articles, who promptly get blasted by the response section.
Yes, food for thought
