Fox news reporter with Obama campaign reporting at 2:45pm eastern that democrat voter turnout in NH is less than predicted so far. Obama campaign so worried about turnout in Virginia and Missouri that they are activating "backup" volunteers to make calls from home.
Dumb question, but how do they “know” what the numbers are?
I voted earlier today in a fairly liberal NH city.
Good news: 1)Was not as busy as I anticipated. 2)There were a bunch of Obama supporters waving at cars on the town green, but very few people were honking back.
Bad news: I saw more same-day registrants than usual, and they looked like hippies.
I think any of these reporters who trail a candidate for such a long time are probably suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
I beleive we will win Fla.
I did my part. If any of you see any of the 1500 signs like “Obama = Socialism” or “OBAMA IS TOO RADICAL” around town, you’ll know who put them up.
c-span today did something unusual.
when a caller mentioned a third party candidate, they flashed a picture of bob whatshisname. Why? so that viewers would see there is some other “white guy” running? was this their effort to split the mythical bradly effect?
I think the left wingers are going to have massive mourning stages when this goes mccain/palin. (denial,anger,bargaining,depression,acceptance)
I voted in Scituate this morning. I live about 2 minutes from the H.S. where we vote and it took me a total of 90 minutes to get in and out. I have never seen such a turnout. Hard to predict who they were turning out for. Every age group was represented.
A: A loser.
A quote I saw attributed to an old Clinton supporting campaigner (Can't remember his name right now, but he's the bald bulldog-like/alligator-like bombastic Southerner who used to bully other talking heads for good olde Billy).
The best - LOL!
Too bad BO buttons couldn’t be shopped on the zombies, but then, the dead don’t campaign - they only vote.
There could also be some liberal Dums launching DOS attacks against FR to screw with our well-organized GOTV efforts here.
Most of ‘em are overweight unemployed idjits living in mommy’s basement with too much time on their hands anyway.

I don’t know if that Virginia report is on the money.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginians are voting at a record-setting pace.
The executive secretary of the State Board of Elections said at a briefing in Richmond that 30 percent to 40 percent of the state’s more than 5 million registered voters had cast ballots Tuesday morning. Nancy Rodrigues said that typically the turnout is about one-half of that pace.
She estimated that more than 75 percent of Virginia’s registered voters will have cast ballots by the time the polls close at 7 p.m.
Did someone say free pie?
Sorry, reflex.
It’s all about turnout. WE know that...
I would think the GOP vote would have either early voted or will come and vote after they get off of work.
That was the affably alien James Carville. He could stop a CLINTON from charging, for dog-sakes!
I just got back from voting here in Iowa. My precinct is pretty heavily democratic (blue collar, union). The election judges that I chatted with after voting said turnout was about normal, he had not seen many new faces.
The newspaper said that the county auditor expected turn out to be up 15-20%, so unless the afterwork crowd makes up the difference, that would seem unlikely here.
If you get a call saying Connie got beat up again, stay inside the compound.
GOTV, GOTV, GOTV!
