Early voting means absolutely nothing if the people who voted early were going to vote anyway. There's absolutely ZERO evidence that the early voters' are those who were fence sitters. What's so hard to understand about that? Liberals really seem to struggle with this simple theory.

They dont COUNT the early votes until election day-so unless you know something we don't know....

Thoroughly discredited by you and similar right wing trolls in the comments section?

It's amazing how conservatives have been able to make the swtich to statisticians and economists with such relative ease. I guess all of that Bible study is paying off.

BTW...with your track record of clueless post, believe me, you are the last one I need to relate to me in any way. Save your feelings of embarrassment for yourself....really.
You're pretty much on the mark, the OFA database "knows" who voted and we are well ahead of our targets. The GOTV universe (ones and twos who haven't voted yet) in Ohio is getting smaller every day. It is looking very good.

And all early votes simply offset election day votes.

Dont worry, I'm embarassed enough for you...
You're wasting your keyboard. It involves 2+2, and that's too hard for 0bots.

Being inside OFA and seeing the data myself I can say, your statements are simple wishful thinking.

Obama is almost beyond the reach of an election day GOP surge. Of course, the gop gotv organization is a joke. Mittens left ohio up to the Ohio gop machine. Big mistake.

So, this "known" unknown knows who has voted....but does this "known" unkown know who that person voted for?

It almost defies common sense that people would believe otherwise..

You are so far out of your league, that if I was you, I'd disappear until after the election.

TIME Poll: Obama Leads by 5 in Ohio | TIME.com

Shows Obama 5 points ahead in the early votes, with a 3 point margin of error..

And of course, once you count the independents
Romney is ahead of Obama among Ohio independents, winning 53% to Obama’s 38%.

Which of course no one is emphasising early voting.. Hell, I'm canvasing for the GOP, and we're not even pushing early voting, whereas Obama is..

Keep the dream alive, even if you have to lie and make crap up though...
