— CAC Currently, total early vote is 639,701 statewide. This includes absentees and in-person voting.
Out of 5.7 to 5.77 million likely total votes.
Which pegs the early vote at 11% of overall.
Which means SurveyUSA's release this week is just as skewed as Marist and PPP's last week.

The polls/media will show a really close race through the rest of "early voting" -- and then suddenly shift their samples and declare Obama the easy winner over the last few days before "in-person voting".
The idea would be to motivate early voters (predominantly dems) and then discourage voting when most Republicans and Independents go to the polls, on Election Day.

it's flat and bland and full of corn. Like Indiana, illinois, iowa, kansas, well you get the picture.
The plains start about the middle of Ohio and stretch to Denver CO.

OK, ready. I think you peeps are overdoing this idea that Dems are depressed and aren't going to turn out. Libs never realize the error of their ways. They will vote, they are just keeping quiet about it. That's because they know they are stubbornly voting against what's best for the country. But liberals don't care about the country, they care about their ideology and their self-loathing.
The pollsters are oversampling, but perhaps not as much as you think. Romney doing OK, but this is no blowout, it's close.

Right WingÂ’s Benghazi Attack Falls Apart

Chuckles links this article from (the always reliable) L.A. Times:
http://tinyurl.com/8n9njw3
It has this quote: "The administration believes it has the right under international law to use lethal force against Al Qaeda operatives who kill Americans, but that case would be harder to make against members of a Libyan militia."
Oddly enough, I find that comforting. I'm fearful of Obama doing something dangerously stupid while flailing around.

The October surprise will be as follows: A man in a snazzy space suit will arrive at MSNBC claiming to be from the future. He will deliver a full-throated warning that we MUST NOT ELECT ROMNEY because he will destroy the Earth as we know it. He will then disappear during a commercial break.
After the election, we will learn that the space man from the future was Rev. Al Sharpton.

Low-cost questionnaire designs artificially inflate (bias) the number of early voters reported. Not an easy thing to correct if you're (i) operating on a limited budget, or with a tight schedule; or, (ii) haven't ever really thought about the problem.

Can you please tear the crap out of this garbage? Got a libtroll posting it elsewhere and insisting that it's both accurate and "means something", despite Obama not having spent much in North Carolina, and despite polls in NC indicating it's going to Romney.
Seems to me this is just as dishonest as Ohio early-voting numbers .. I just don't have the analytical statistical chops to beat it (and subsequently the libtroll) into submission...

Nothing has changed since Romney made himself viable again with the first debate. I think he has a very slight edge but still has to win Ohio.
If he wins on Monday, he will be the favorite. I do think undecideds are going to break for him, and I expect his ground game to be equal to Bush's 2004 efforts. That's against the Obama media and Democratic cheating in their strongholds.
Also, someone can pull some kind of surprise, but I really think Romney is the most immune to this of any candidate we could ask for.
I do not see an easy Obama win. As of today, seat of my pants, 10 percent Romney comfortable win, 40 percent Romney close win, 50 percent Obama close win. If it's a nail-biter, you have to give that edge to Obama because of all the shenanigans we've seen lately (Minnesota, for example).
Will revise based on whether Gallup tightens and Monday night's outcome.

In a vast poll-worker training class last week, old-timers were a little dazed at the turnout, and had no other theory than that this will be a big election. Several days later came the court ruling on extra days of early voting, with no mention of ID or verification procedures. That has all the trappings of the Fix being In. Watch bus traffic.
In a county that is slightly to the left of Tverskoy Administrative District, the overwhelming majority of new volunteers were pretty obviously Dem (sleeping in the class, rode the bus there, questions on the bake-sale rule), but some R's had been recruited off the voter rolls by the Board of Elections just in order to have enough for the required 2-party representation at the tables and in voter assistance. Spooky.
McDonalds appears to have phased out the steak, egg and cheese bagel. I only eat breakfast there if I'm on the way to a match, but that was about as much food as can be held in one hand, and the only thing they offered that competed on even ground with a diner breakfast.

Reminds me of the old joke. Billy comes in a sees Dad humping away and Mom yelling at the top of her lungs. He runs out of the room. Dad goes and tries to tell Billy it was all OK. Mom was fine.
So about a week later Billy is over at his grandmothers house, she being a little senile, Billy jumps her like his dad had. She starts yelling and moaning.
Dad runs in and says, Bill what are you doing?
Billy, says, It not so funny when I am fucking YOUR mom, is it?

Romney *should* win, but whether he will remains to be seen. He needs another debate performance on Monday like in the first. Maybe he can get Obama to blow up because he's clearly under President Boo-boo's skin now.
I've contributed and have signed up. My state's not a swing state, though, so I guess I'll be doing phone work.

Today's Gallup update - Romney still up 6; up 2 among registered voters; Obama's net job approval down another point.
Probably really plus 4 or so nationwide, giving as much credence as they deserve to other pollsters.

Maybe Gloria has nothing and is just enjoying the rumors and making us all nervous.
And, I think in Iowa they are just projecting what voters may be voting based on registeration. Also, the ever reliable phone interviews by polling places may have something to do with the vote rumors.

1) We have to rely on the Daily Beast because it's not something to check for ourselves.
2) We don't know where *they* got it--and perhaps each campaign reported those numbers. We don't know how each campaign counts such an office.
3) Hence, we don't know the unit of what we're measuring or whether the measurement is accurate. It's like comparing nuclear strength during the Cold War based on missiles versus MIRVs.
The data means something, but we can't judge what it means.
