GOP COULD SEE 'TSUNAMI' OF VOTERS ON ELECTION DAY
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2012 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/31/2012 12:32:44 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

In many battleground states, Republicans traditionally outperform Democrats at the polls on Election Day, and some analysts believe there will be a GOP "tsunami" at the polls on next Tuesday's Election Day.

Over the last two weeks, GOP political operatives have noted Democrats have been turning out "high-propensity voters" -- or voters who normally vote on Election Day -- for early voting, while Republicans have been turning "low propensity voters" -- or voters who traditionally do not vote on Election Day. This means Democrats have fewer voters to draw from their universe on Election Day while Republicans have more.

One Republican analyst said "Democrats are cannibalizing their high-propensity voters in advance of election day to get stories that they are winning," which is amounting to "stealing from Peter, or Election Day, to pay Paul, or early voting."

As the Examiner noted, "in Ohio, the Democrats have turned out 43 percent of the most loyal supporters to vote, compared to just 27 percent of the GOP. In Iowa, the difference is 43 percent to 29 percent."

Although Democrats have touted their early voting strength, a Gallup poll found Romney with a seven-point lead among voters who have already voted, and even a Pew Research survey found Romney already has a "turnout advantage over Obama, which could loom larger as Election Day approaches."

Chick-Fil-A appreciation day was a proxy for the voting booth on November 6th.

Shortly after the Chick-Fil-A appreciation day was a counter demonstration of support for Starbucks....which was a complete flop. Went to my local starbucks just to see how many people showed up. No line outside. No line inside. Could have walked up and ordered a drink with no waiting...but decided not to on that day ;-).

“Just saw the weather forecast for NY and east coast, looks like another Noreaster is due in on Tuesday.”

The only place this matters electorally is in suburban Philly and northern VA.

Bring it on.

If you go back and listen to Obama’s speeches from 2008 (aside from those where he was bemoaning the Bitter Clingers to his hardcore base) you’ll see that he typically tried to pose as a Moderate, or even a bit Conservative on some issues.

Nobody will be buying it this time. His record is too clear.

Just watched a youtube video from Human Events, stating the GOP will win the Senate.

First official business should be to reinstate the incandescent light bulb. The 60 Watt bulb is about to become obsolete.

Looks like more and more are starting to see the wisdom of 65% for Romney and 35% if he is lucky for obama.

After the election I will tell you all who said it first and I will go back to lurking for another four years.
