The Buzz: Early vote leaning Obama's direction?

Quote
After four days of early voting last week, it looked likely that Barack Obama had taken the lead in ballots cast in Florida. We don't know how they voted, of course, but Democrats had cast 653,573 votes — 316,853 absentee mail votes and 336,720 votes at early voting locations. Republicans had cast 652,648 votes — 457,395 absentee and 195,253 early votes.

A St. Petersburg Times-Bay News 9-Miami Herald poll found that among voters who said they intended to vote on Election Day, John McCain had a 10-point advantage.

I am cautiously optimistic, those numbers don't necessarily mean a rout for Obama in FL. Consider the crossover from Operation Chaos, overseas military ballots, etc....  A 925 vote edge for Obama along strict party lines.... :popcorn:

Ahh, another tale showing that The Obama early voting miracle is falling flat.

I'm starting to see why at every stop, team Obama tells its loyal followers to not get cocky, and vote early if possible. This news is actually pretty bad for The One, because it contradicts the juggernaut that his campaign is supposed to be, and gives hope to the McCain voters. Demoralization is key to Obama's success. Don't give it to them.

The other thing to remember is Florida is one of the PUMA states, especially after the crap Florida Democrats got to deal with during their primary.

I never answer phone calls from pollsters, but if I did I think I would lie. I wonder how many other people are throwing them off their game?

Sheesh, I hate this feeling of optimism. I really feel like I should be demoralized or something.

Many conservatives in PA are registered dems.   It's the only way to have any say in local politics.   My sister is a die hard pro-lifer and hasn't voted for a national dem ever but is a registered dem.

Ive not been called by any polling organization. But, honestly, it would be a waste of money to figure out what direction Massachusetts is going in. The only point in polling here is to figure out how badly the Republicans are going to lose before they do.

No comment.

I am very "on game".  I have said for longer now than I care to remember that Obama is going down HARD.  I know - KNOW - there is no way in God's hell he will win.

Obama Hussein is the only candidate the democrats could have run who will lose, without a doubt - and Obama Hussein is the only candidate John McCain could possible beat.  It is a perfect storm.

Like Rush Limbaugh said many moons ago, if Hussein isn't up 8-10 points in the polls, Hussein is toast.  The phonyass pollsters are having a hard time lying Hussein into a 5 point lead.  They have their reputations to consider.

Relax!  This is going to be a cakewalk with milk.

A part of me agrees to a point with you.  But I get very discouraged watching even Fox News.  A pollster called me the other day...after answering several questions, I asked her, How do I know you are typing/writing the answers I am giving you?  She just said, why would I change them?  I said, I wonder!

This last week scares me.  Not about an Obama Hussein win, but about what The Hussein camp will gin up.  They know Obama Hussein is "toast" and I do not know what their pitiful desperation will bring.

They have been in this thing to win at all cost.  They know they are not going to win.  I cannot imagine now who they will allow to be killed in order to make a point.  They may burn Chicago down (again)...and Detroit.  The liberals feel they have to make a great impression in order to show us who is in charge, even though they are not.  The lengths they will go to scares me.  Foolish people, the majority populations of Detroit, etc. who vote for the Hussein ticket, deserve more respect than what the liberals have in store.  That is the part that scares me.

I pray every night for our nation.  I pray that Jesus does not turn His back on us now.  I pray this Obama character gets sent to where he needs to be.  After my prayers, I get the most peaceful feeling.  It is the Lord telling me everything will be alright.  That feeling has NEVER let me down.

The Lord isn't through with us yet.  We are not a completely indecent nation in our hearts.  He knows.

You and I are on the same page.  I know most of the time I have a peace in my heart about it!  I just cannot bring myself to picture Obama as President and Michelle as our First Lady.  That may sound silly, but....

I do pray that God will intervene in the hearts of people and cause them to do the right thing and vote for McCain/Palin because they will be "right" for our country. We know that God's power is greater by far than any power man has.  If McCain wins after all the polls being so negative for him, people will know that it was the power of God that overcame man.   I fear that if Obama gets elected, that will be the end of our freedom -- our country as we have known it to be.

Throw in the amazons from PUMA - all registered Democrats - and I think you could just about wipe out any "vote advantage" Teh Obamessiah thinks he's got.

This is one thing to consider. I don't know about anyone else but if anyone I was close to was deathly ill I'd be off  to their bedside ASAP ,not announcing it then telling the world it'll be two or three days before I get there. Then there is this. The wife and kids are not with him at the time when family matters more then anything? If I was either of those two kids I'd be kicking somebodies ankles to get me there to see Grandma.

So here we areas a country. We all have heard the talk shows and news talk about or lack there of on their part about The Obamafurhers judgement and just how great he will be as a leader. I knew from the start he wasn't a leader and this latest stunt proves it. Does anyone here posting or lurking honestly think the Kennedy's would let Ted die and not every single one of their family be there?

There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Obama. Most of them are almost horrifying to consider when you look at his voting record and his speeches in total. Here is a person that for the most part voted "Present" on allot of issues,lied about his stand on others and he expects us to just take a leap of faith that he won't send this country into a economic tailspin we may never recover from. Sorry but the logic just escapes me on why we should turn this country over to someone that sees this as a perfect opportunity to turn the United States into Russia 2.0
