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

I guess a database that tracks voter persuasion AND also traces "Real time" early voting status is beyond your limited comprehension abilities.

No, you ASSume your database is a crystal ball....

Voting status does not mean "who they voted for." Now THAT is beyond your comprehension....

Obama won 2008 in Ohio by 4 points, meaning if only 2% had changed their mind, Obama would have lost Ohio.

And per Time magazine,

Romney is ahead of Obama among Ohio independents, winning 53% to Obama’s 38%.

if you dont think 2% of the population changed their mind, you're kidding yourself.. You can hang your whole dream on early votes, but that simply means less will turn out on election day..

Its first grade math, and you dont even understand it..

Hell, maybe if we equate it to cookies you might get it.

If you have 1 dozen cookies, and eat 5 of them today, this means on election day, you'll only have 7 left.

Sorry I had to use such big numbers.. I hope you dont get confused

It's not so much about "fence sitters." The campaign is not about persuading people. It's about getting your base to the polls.

In 2008, it was interesting to see reporters at polling stations during the primaries. If you're in Brooklyn, for example, and you have a high observed turnout rate in certain precincts (which favor a certain candidate), then you have an idea of what way the race is going. All of the reporters phone in the results of their exit polls, and then HQ does the math, and they can project a winner of that race 99 out of 100 times.

Campaigns spend so much money on this stuff that they know good and well when a race is won or lost. As far as Ohio goes, it's all lost for Romney, but it's worth waiting around for something to happen that might change the race in his favor.

Then why is the GOP spending millions upon millions of dollars a week to get people to the polls on Nov 6th?
