Hang on a minute! How do we know this??? These votes haven't been counted yet.Are they assuming that everyone who's registered as a Rat is voting for Baraq? Sounds like an effort to suppress Republican voters to me.

THIS!
The fact is - in Ohio, they don’t register by party - it just goes on the last primary they voted in. There are a TON of people being considered democrats simply because they last voted in the 2008 democratic primary who are NOT going to vote for Obama. The last truly competitive primary in Ohio was 2008 Hillary vs Obama, so a lot of people voted in it. I guarantee Obama’s “lead” in the early voting is even less than it looks because Romney is winning a significant number of crossovers.
I wouldnt count too much on these numbers. As expressed before, Ohio primary voters probably had some dems who voted republican, and so are counted as republican, even though they will vote for Obama. No one has any idea what the real count is - no need to worry either way whoever you are rooting for.
