Something that is really making me nervous about this

election. My concern is early voting, take Ohio for example we have been voting for
a month now. The Obama campaign has been going all out promoting early voting. Now with all the emphasis on early voting the majority of people still haven't voted. Now here is my concern, Democrats have been encouraged to vote early. In Ohio for instance we have had a month to vote what makes people so damn sure the left overs are going to show up on election day either. I just get the feeling this may be like the Truman/ Dewey election when Dewey was called the winner by the MSM and Truman pulled it out when the votes were counted. I just think too many of us are claiming victory when not one vote has been counted.

The president will easily win re-election and will carry Ohio. That doesn't mean that it's a sure thing,or that you shouldn't worry. BTW, Ohio has asked those voting for R$ and Lyan to wait till Wed. to vote.

to Wednesday. I am not trying to be a downer. I don't know what percentage of Democrats have already voted, I'll give you 50% if you want. But with all the emphasis on early voting and the other 50% still haven't voted I have my doubts they ever will. I know the Republicans will come out rain, snow, sunshine whatever, they are motivated by hate for the most part.
