What LS and others have presented here at FR, and what seems to be trending is a definite “enthusiasm gap” in the absentee ballots requests for Ohio. It’s definitely not showing a 2008 pattern (so far). This might be the first concrete indication of a Republican wave developing that is more like a 2004/2010 turnout model.
Everyone ought to have a gander at the ohio spreadsheet today. Keepin it close in cuyahoga and gaining further in Hamilton and Franklin. Very interesting.

Repubs have already requested 5,000 more absentee ballots this year compared to 2008 in Cuyahoga. Need you cuyahoga repubs and indies to keep it close enough there.
