A couple of other observations from my trip to the panhandle this weekend. Most of the people I spoke to had voted absentee for Guiliani. They said that if they had waited, they would have voted for Romney instead to keep McCain out. They didn’t realize how close it was going to be when they voted.
My friend who saw McCain in person this weekend said that he looks awful...even whiter and more sickly than he does on TV. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop her from voting for him though.
The hour early time zone difference worries me about the Panhandle as my dad says that a lot of people up there tend to listen to the exit polls and don’t vote after work when the media start calling it too soon (as they always do).
They won’t today, the exit polls show basically a dead heat.
