Makes sense; this state has been Romney’s for probably six months now.

OK numbers, but I still think early voting is a joke.

Wee get these reports every election, but have they been shown to mean anything?

Duh. I’ve been posting that link here for about a week.

Hate to be the ITYS type, but haven’t you and I both been commenting about watching the trends and not losing it over a single bad poll. Thanks for posting that.

I didn’t think NC had early voting until OCT 18 ……

According to those numbers, Republican early turnout is up by almost 50% while Doom and Indie turnouts are down. Keep that up, match it on November 6 and NC will be +15 in the Romney electoral column as it’s a toss-up on most electoral maps I’ve seen. I was going to say if you want a laugh check out HuffPo’s map but whoa, even HuffPo is changing it’s tune. Last week their map had Bammie at 337 and Mitt under 200, today it’s 281 to 206–amazing. What is it about the calendar reading “October” that makes that worm turn so quickly?
