If it's true and holds, Mississippi and Georgia aren't far behind, Indiana will definitely flip, Obama is looking at 400+ EVs, and I'll have to go have a quiet lie down.
This is not the election map to which I've grown accustomed.
What the hell is going on out there?
Indiana and Ohio move very slowly. I don't think Indiana's going to come through in the end. I've been skeptical of Ohio all year, even though I'm leaning towards a small win for Obama simply because of the blowouts in Michigan and Pennsylvania coupled with a good few polls showing Obama with a decent lead in OH.
Speaking of Ohio...
BIG NEWS: The Supreme Court has thrown out the GOP's attempt to suppress the vote in Ohio. I'm curious to see how the vote broke down. Liberal justices + Kennedy? Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
NC first: One day of early voting, and the Tar Heels are already up to 174,000. 52% are Dems (compared with 45% of registered voters), 32% Reps (compared with 32% of RVs), 16% Indies (compared with 22% of RVs). 25.8% are black (compared with 21% of RVs).
Similar pattern in Georgia. Black folks are 35.8% of the 636,000 voters so far. So, in both cases, we're seeing black folks running 5-7 points ahead of their proportion of RVs. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
