You almost gave me a heart attack, you sicko. Only do that if you're talkin about an obviously untrustworthy source.

Two weeks ago it was above 80%.


Let's see. Out of the swing states I've seen NC with the HIGHEST margin
of early vote Dems over Repubs for any of the swing states.

http://www.politicususa.com/obama-swing-state-voter-registration-early-voting-margins-bigger-2008.html

And all the pollster/pundits say Repubs have closed the early vote margin. What they DON'T tell you
is that the Repubs have only shifted votes from election day to early voting. They don't have the same
pool of voters left to vote on election day that they had in 2008. Dem pool of voters left to vote on election day?

Dems have a total of 1,558,229 registered voters eligible to cast votes today

Repubs have a total of 1,184,085 registered voters eligible to cast votes today.

There is NO way Repubs can catch us if we GOTV today! No way!


I SO want to have the pleasure of sending Nate an e-mail tonight
telling him to go fu*k himself.

Turn NC BLUE!!!!

Relax folks, this thing won't be close.

Nate Silver knows it, and so should you.

They are "scary" high. I have never seen numbers that high in what has been said will be a very close race!

I'm taking NOTHING for granted. Some states are already finding funny things going on!

Since I'm not religious, I can only cross my fingers and make a BIG WISH!

And those numbers indicate the probability of a win, not a landslide. I wouldn't be so cocky
