The two choices are yes and no. You felt it was critical to run out and vote yes when it has no chance of losing. It is like an Iranian election. Do you think they feel as strongly about their votes as you do?jordo212000;1314388 wrote:Because those two guys are the only two people who can actually win the election?

The big board guy on CNN keeps making bold predictions and then looks at the map and is wrong

It's still really early, but Fox is looking like a funeral parlor right now the way they are talking about Romney. Already blaming Christie and Sandy for a possible defeat.
Different channels saying Obama might win 70+% of the Latino vote nation wide, and as a share of the electorate they are moving from 7.5% in 2008 to 10% this year and growing.
I think this will be the last election we see regardless of who wins where the Reublican coalition is made up almost exclusively of white people. Demographically there just aren't going to be enough of them to win going forward.

John King? I think that is his name?? (Big board guy on CNN) keeps saying that the rest of Ohio doesn't matter. He keeps counting / looking at NE Ohio and is dismissing rural areas.

Florida being close right now is good news for Romney, getting toward the end of the early voting results.

Only number I'm seeing on Dispatch is the nationwide popular vote (by 400-500K), which is useless. Is there an actual statewide one on there?LJ;1314418 wrote:Dispatch has Romney up 400k at 8:20

so, is that Presidential race on the dispatch website where Romney is up 51% to 48% for the whole nation or just Ohio?

I left that one blank. Mandel really rubbed me the wrong way. He is a very creepy guy.
I don't care for Brown either though

Unless there were absurdly large turnouts in rural Ohio and were complete Romney blowouts, it's somewhat true. Cincinnati is basically the area that will swing it.jordo212000;1314424 wrote:John King?

Local NBC reporting that suburb and ring county turnouts were upwards of 70% which is a good sign for Romney

Stay tuned kids, most of what you are seeing is the early voting, which always favors dems, but the margin is significantly less than before, so today's voters will bring the repub vote back in big numbers.
