Saturday and Sunday marked the first chance for voters to head to the early voting polls on a weekend, a time when Democrats could really show in force and put a big dent in Republicans’ lead in casting pre-Election Day ballots.
But there was no huge surge in Democrat-rich Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Intriguingly in the three counties, the total number of people who early voted Saturday was greater than Sunday – the day when black voters were expected to have the first of two “Souls to the Polls” voting events after church.
Some Democrats are starting to panic. It’s an understandable feeling. Mid-term election turnout in the big three urban counties is historically abysmal, which is a major reason why Republicans hold every statewide elected office but one.
This is a warning sign for Democrat Charlie Crist.
“This is horrible,” one South Florida consultant told me. Crist should be concerned. And some of his supporters are.
Scott’s deputy campaign manager, Tim Saler, issued a campaign memo that drew a parallel with 2012, when Democrats did far better:
On this same day in 2012, Democrats out-voted Republicans by 35,000 votes. We saw the same thing during the 2008 Obama campaign, a 35,000-vote lead by Democrats over Republicans.
Overall, Republicans now lead Democrats in early voting by a little less than 2,000 votes. At this time in the 2012 campaign, Republicans trailed in early voting by 40,000 votes, or 13 points.

but not at any election events.
Crist’s boss was counting on the pothead amendment to draw stoners to Crist.

That’s racits!!
Why no mention of the South Florida after Temple vote?
do share
[Mutters Christ..] Dammit! When I buy a vote, I expect it to STAY bought and followed through!
Anything connected with Obola.
Article says
fake tan
fake wife
fake republican
I think even his name is something like the original Greek name “Christodoulou. His doctor daddy changed it or something. Not sure.
So you think zero AND his policies are on the ballot? lol
These numbers are staggering. Imagine if they’re like this all over the country and just not being reported? ABC has reported ZERO times on the midterms this year, the others just a dozen or two times.
We here in Florida now all know about “Chain gang Charlie”
I am so ashamed I voted for him for governor way back when I was conned into believing he was a republican.
Bet your ass and the house cat that I look up under the skirts of every candidate that I vote for now.
He won’t win over Scott. Amnesty and ebola will have people crawling over glass to vote for anyone that isn’t a democrat. Those two boogers are sticking to dems like I have never seen. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so damn pathetic.
Everybody has an opinion.......MSM reporting pro Obama and not con Obama doesn’t seem to jibe with what’s seen here in the low turnout here in this Dem stronghold thus far, does it?
Word gets around even in spite of the MSM. HISTORY about what Obama’s record is and how it hasn’t helped anyone gets around. Real tangible facts. Black unemployment way higher than national average. People getting their new Obamacare premium notices, people hearing these CDC and NIH fools on TV......a cornucopia of bad ideas, bad implementation, and lies.
Frankly, I think MSM has lost control of the mantra, the narrative - and that is what upsets them. Desperation.
Isn’t it a shame distraught RAT operatives and lobbyists don’t defenestrate like distraught bankers?
They’d rather throw US out the window.
“fake tan
fake wife
fake republican”
Ya forgot one..........fake heterosexual.
“I am so ashamed I voted for him for governor way back when I was conned into believing he was a republican.”
Yep, me too. As hard as it is to admit.
“Souls to the Polls”
LOL!!
These folks are backing gay marriage and abortion candidates. How about “Lost souls to the polls.”
What I find amusing is that the liberals, who continually attack the Republican Party as being a bunch of rich white guys, are urging all of the black and hispanic voters to go out and vote for...rich white guys.
I wouldn’t care how I felt about Rick Scott, I would never vote for Crist, he’s just an embarrassment.
Except everyone did in 2004....that is what is so strange about this race. Everyone is bashing Crist but loved him to death a short time ago. Just weird. Funny how you could agree with a guy and then not. I don’t buy it but I don’t buy Crist is a Democrat either.
I honestly thought Crist was gay and out.
The glass closet appears to be hermetically sealed.
