GOP Sources: We're Looking Good In CO, IA, NH, and WI
— Ace

Assuming Romney wins Florida, NC, and Virginia, then Wisconsin, Colorado, and either Iowa or New Hampshire wins it for him.

I think Team Obama is trying to put out word that Virginia is shaky for Romney. I think they're trying to demoralize us. I don't believe it.

If Rasmussen and Gallup are right about the partisan skew of the country's actual voter population, which is either R+1 or R +6, respectively, then the polls offered by virtually everyone else aren't worth jack.

If Mitt Romney wins tonight, it’ll likely be because of something revealed by a little-noticed statistic released yesterday by the polling firm Rasmussen — following a similar statistic last week from Gallup.

Rasmussen revealed that for the month of October, its data showed that among likely voters, the electorate is 39 percent Republican and 33 percent Democratic.

This comes from a survey of 15,000 people taken over the course of a month. Yes, 15,000 people —15 times the number in a statistically significant poll.

This number might be discounted, since Rasmussen has a reputation as leaning Republican. Except that last week, Gallup — the oldest and most reputable national pollster — released its party ID survey of 9,424 likely voters. And it came out 36 percent Republican, 35 percent Democrat.

This means two firms, with huge numbers of likely voters in their surveys, are finding on election eve that there are more Republican than Democratic voters.

Why does this matter? Because never in the history of polling, dating back to 1936, have self-identified Republicans outnumbered Democrats on Election Day. Never. Ever.

23 I interpret this AP exit poll data as mostly good for Romney:

Preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press show that the presidential election hinges once again on the economy.

The survey of voters as they leave polling places Tuesday shows 6 in 10 voters say the economy is the top issue facing the nation, with unemployment and rising prices hitting voters hard.

About 4 in 10 say they think the nation's economy is on the mend, but more say that things are getting worse or are bad and stagnating.

About half of voters say the previous president, George W. Bush, shoulders more of the blame for economic challenges than President Barack Obama.

Just a quarter of those surveyed in the exit poll say they are better off than four years ago.

39 Sum thoughts:
I was spending hours and hours a day trying to push the Mitt Train uphill from about 06-08, (try Google searching shiggz romney from that time frame).  Before I was pulled into the Ron Paul un-re-education school of liberty.

Have spent 08- today trying to expose Obama and dismantle the institutional left.  When Breitbart died I literally felt more sadness then when any of my own grandparents died.  Felt like a soldier surrounded by enemies whose hero general was just slain.

While I voted Constitution party this election, I can not express the amazing feeling all these years of work coming to fruition is like for me today.

To see this week, so many friends and family who were either uninformed republicans, non-political types or democrats, either staying home or complaining about fraud-bias from the likes of CNN/Politifact or posting complaints about the FED printing money on facebook, etc.  I have no words.  This must be the feeling when you see your children grow up and smack down one of their marxist educators.

“REJOICE, PATRIOT WARRIOR OF SOUL AND HEART”

[For Mitt Romney:  Champion of Liberty and Our Next President]

In these dark days you heard a call,

For freedomÂ’s trumpet sounds again!

Your enemies swore youÂ’d fail and fall,

Afraid of their Godless will to win—

But their will was born of sin,

And you NEVER DID give in.

 

For you relied on greater powers,

Than those made by menÂ’s hands.

Your swords were TRUTH and LIBERTY,

With faith we joined your stand,

With our FATHERÂ’S GOD,

Who sheltered us in this Heaven-Born Land.

 

Now we, with you, seek a virtuous life,

We join to pursue and honor truth,

Our powers exceed the guile of vice,

And regardless of age or youth,

A divine commission we now fulfill,

In libertyÂ’s voting booths!

 

We heed not the lies, we ignore the cries,

Of the gutless, treasonous whores,

Who sell their puny souls for the “fame”

Which the strong and the just ignore.

Together we shall WIN THIS DAY,

And cast a Tyrant from the White House doors!

 

TODAY, YOU AND YOUR CHOICE RUNNING MATE WIN!

 

JOIN US, AMERICANS, SEIZE LIBERTY AGAIN...VOTE R & R!

57 Observation from near west side of Chicago, where I'm working as an election judge: 2 of the last 5 ballots I could see were Green Party votes. Been like that all morning. If I had to guess: 55% Obama, 25% Romney, 20% Other. Not a scientific measurement, of course. More importantly, turnout is light here!! Other than an early morning surge, we (the judges) have been twiddling our thumbs quite a bit. I'm pretty certain the rest of the state is voting quite a bit differently!

76 just as a word of caution, bear in mind, our side has an interest in promoting the idea that we can win because the opposite feeling, that we'll lose, depresses voting. Believing you can do something is the first step in doing it... but it's only the first step. I am growing optimistic but this isn't over yet. We are looking at scattered tea leaves. And frankly I'm promoting the ones suggestive of victory. Though I haven't actually seen any bad ones. But then I'm not looking for them.

90 Obama Internal Poll Has Campaign 'Really Worried,' Trend for Romney..... The Obama campaign’s internal polling data — their final polling data — has them “for the first time worried,” a Democratic source familiar with the campaign tells Newsmax. “They are going like YIKES! after they saw the Michigan numbers this morning,” the source said. The Obama poll finds Michigan tied, which has the Obama camp “scratching their heads.” Here’s the rundown of the Obama internals: Michigan TIED Pennsylvania Obama +1: “Not a good sign, Obama was leading there by 10 points two weeks ago and Romney is rallying voters there today.” Ohio Obama +2: “Romney is definitely closing the gap.” Virginia Obama +2: “They feel they have it, Obama wins Virginia.” Colorado Obama +3 New Hampshire TIED Florida “They’ve conceded it to Romney.” “This is really not good, things are not trending their way,” "Romney will win this if this trend continues" the source said.

91 Psalm 63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

122 I know everyone has seen it but I'm still soaking in it:

MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Mitt Romney walked out of his campaign jet at Pittsburgh International Airport here Tuesday afternoon and was met by an unexpected sight: hundreds upon hundreds of supporters packed into the top and middle levels of a nearby parking garage, cheering the candidateÂ’s arrival.

A visibly moved Romney, clad in a white shirt and slacks, stepped into the late afternoon sun and walked across the tarmac to a spot near a metal fence separating him from the supporters in the garage.

Press entourage in tow, he waved to the crowd for several moments, saying nothing.

Afterward, a reporter asked Romney how the moment made him feel.

“ThatÂ’s when you know youÂ’re gonna win,” he said as he walked back across the tarmac and into an SUV that carried him off to his second stop of the day.

190 Virginia is going for Romney. As much as the North Virginians are government leeches and limousine liberals, they are first and foremost good white suburban family people. They got suckered the first time because, like lots of other groups, they were only shown the parts of Obama that appealed to them. Now that they've seen Obama's radicalism on social and racial issues, especially compared to Romney's unprecedented wholesomeness, they're going to go with the guy who will set a good example for their kids. The rest of Virginia, obviously, is Republican and conservative as hell. I would be absolutely stunned if Virginia went for Obama again.

Just to recap, here's what the two possible outcomes mean:

 

Romney wins:  We may survive as a Republic.

 

Obama wins:  There are now more of them than there are of us, and their numbers will increase until we have nothing left, for  ourselves, our families, or our posterity.

 

Tonight I drink to either our victory or our defeat.  But drink I will.

200 73 I've heard that the Peoples Republics of Arlington and Alexandria, VA, the turnout is down. These are bastions of libtardness in NOVA. Unfortunately, in my libtard Fairfax Co., precinct, the turnout is about the same as 2008. I live amongst the stupids.

The key to Fairfax County is not turnout.  That is a swing county, not a blue one.  The enthusiasm and signage in Fairfax is night and day from 2008.  0bama needs to run up big margins in Fairfax County, and I do not think he will be able to do that like he did in 2008.

In Albuquerque, as I said before: If there is a 2004 split, the JEF is down in early voting some 30k.
Right now, Election Day voting is some 30k below 2008.

Election Day in 2008 split 55/45 to the JEF.

If we have a 2004 split, the JEF is down overall some 40k votes in a state he won by 80k.

I drove past my polling place in downtown Denver and saw no lines what-so-ever and this is a heavy Democrat area.

One major thing I have noticed this time is there are a ton of Romney/Ryan signs around whereas in 2008 you didn't see any McBain signage.

Oh, and a note, my wife who has never voted for a Republican in her life (She is 3 voted for Romney/Ryan this morning.  Now this is a woman who stated prior to us meeting that she would never date or want to be involved with anyone who voted for G.W. Bush.

Take that for what you will but I feel the signs are out there pointing to a R/R landslide.  FINISH HIM!

213 190 Virginia is going for Romney. As much as the North Virginians are government leeches and limousine liberals, they are first and foremost good white suburban family people. They got suckered the first time because, like lots of other groups, they were only shown the parts of Obama that appealed to them. Now that they've seen Obama's radicalism on social and racial issues, especially compared to Romney's unprecedented wholesomeness, they're going to go with the guy who will set a good example for their kids.

The rest of Virginia, obviously, is Republican and conservative as hell. I would be absolutely stunned if Virginia went for Obama again.

I agree with this completely. Well said.

273 I gotta say, I voted here in PA in '08 and the voting place didn't look like it did today.

Yeah this is pretty solidly conservative in attitude but Democrats outnumber Republicans in registration.

the local government's a mix but the state reps are Republican. We had a Dem for House but he retired as the district was reshaped. Now we're voting for a Republican(squishy from Allentown).

I believe that any Democrat leanings in '08 came because of a sense of fairness that given the opportunity, we owed it to vote for a Black as President.

Now that we've seen the results, we have no problem rescinding that opportunity and voting sensibly on the issues and the mistakes and outright treason The President has committed in our name.

Given that in '08 even though McCain got beat, it wasn't so much as voting FOR Obama as letting nature take it's course as he wasn't much loved around here so folks stayed home.

That error has been rectified today. What it means for the end result, I'm not sure but if the identical reports of massively increased attendance is for the reasons that happened here then we have a good chance to turn the ship of state away from the rocks.

291 I've been reading the Dem sites and for some reason they have been desperate to sell NV as done. As Obama's. Seems like some Republican young cubs were eager to help them--quoting Romney "Insiders" as conceding Nevada. About two days after that Ryan flew all the way out to Reno. This Monday--the last day before Election Day-- Ryan went to Reno. So.... I highly doubt if they wasted Ryan's last day in Reno that they appreciate Drudge leaking NV exit polling calling Nevada for Obama.

292 wow, it's like Obama's tactic, as teased by Brad Thor is happening. I was there, man, in Florida, in the trenches in 2004. This was when blackberries that could get Drudge was a big thing. Same thing, oh, the exit polls are bad. FLAVAlaNChe to get the party started.

300 So in Fla they loaded up the ballot with so much crap it takes ten minutes to figure it out and vote.  Did the Dems do this?  Did they plan to get all their supporters out there with early voting when it doesn't matter so much.  You can only put so many voters through the election process on election day.  I smell a diabolical plot.

Billy Cunningham on Hannity AGAIN claiming the GOP turnout is so high (and he uses Hamilton County) that he's afraid some people might get tired of standing in line (polls close in Ohio in 7:30) .  Says election officials haven't seen anything like it since Kennedy-Nixon and he says that as long as the people stay in line, OHIO is going to shock the world. He says that in red areas turnout is 80% and in Cleveland is was 40.

Put out the word, he is yelling, stay in line and if you are in line by 7:30 you will be able to vote no matter how long it takes to get to the front of the line, but if you get in line after 7:30, no.  So, stay in line and get in line!!!!!!!!!!!!

347 Anecdote from CO: Jefferson county polls are orderly and turnout is manageable. Of course most people in this western metro Denver suburban county vote by mail.

I see lots of R/R and local Republican signs and stickers. Only saw one O-bot car with a couple of choomers lighting up as they left the lot.

My prediction is this county will go 56% to 59% Republican this cycle.

That is on the conservative side, IMO.

You forget the media is worth 15% - add that in and you get near the magic 47% number. The difference between 1980 and now is that Carter didn't get the Communist Party US endorsement, Obamao did get it.

People really don't understand Communists like they used to.
