Something else to consider: my chairman said he was downtown today in one of the polling places to drop off a ballot and it was full of blacks voting. I said, "Well, if they comprise 15% of the voters, once they've voted their 15%, there won't be more." And he pointed out that this will greatly change the reporting of precincts on election day, because we would traditionally wait for precincts to come in 400 to 10 or something . . . but this time, since they've already voted, it will greatly change how many votes Obama can "get" from certain precincts.
For example, we would always hold our breath waiting for Cuyahoga County to come in . . . except this time, a lot of it will already be "in."
ACORN registered all those new voters (fraudulent or not) to fool the pollsters into oversampling Democrats and showing Obama with a commanding lead and spurring a “herd mentality”. Pollsters are oversampling Democrats, but there is no herd mentality. The GOP is not dispirited - they’re determined.
Another prong of this scheme is to have multitudes of Democrats vote early, creating the false appearance that Obama is running way ahead. God bless the Republicans who have voted early and are keeping pace with the Dems.
And you are right, once the well has been emptied, there’s no going back and getting more water. The early votes from Cuyahoga will be among the first counted. Obamaniacs will have to sit on their hands and watch as the votes from the red precincts start rolling in.
I hope and pray the same thing happens in PA. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will empty their wells early, and then the conservative “T” comprised of “bitter clingers, racists and rednecks” will repudiate That One.
Any data on how many people have voted early in Ohio so far including the absentee ballots?
I had exactly the same reaction to many of the early voting reports coming out of Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina. In North Carolina, the early reports were quite alarming: over 35% black turnout in the first days of early voting. Oh no, we’re gonna lose! But now so many other voters have voted early that the over black vote is now only a point or two over the 2004 numbers and election day hasn’t even arrived yet. At those levels, McCain should win comfortably in North Carolina.
