...and...after the hurricane your typical Obama Voter demographic will be too busy out looting the stores for any remaining $500 tennis shoes to be concerned with getting to the polling places.
Would you please describe this "Obama Voter demographic"?
Duh! Most of the polls we've been seeing have been based on the 2008 party turnouts, which greatly favored Obama. The thrill is gone, as they say. Dems aren't turning out. This early voting Gallup poll confirms that fact.
In short, we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.

You gave a personal anecdote about a Democratic Committee man, and I responded with a personal anecdote about young unaffiliated people I know here. I hardly see how we are not able to discuss a medium, personal anecdotes about our experiences with folks, about the election that you brought up.
But I didnt pretend that the one individual I met, represented all Democrats, whereas you are.
And all the internals. Bluster and puffing don't win election, tons of work few ppl see do. Obama has been quietly securing his 270 plus EV for the last 4 years.
Thank you, finally a leftist has stated that obama has been campaigning for the last 4 years and not doimg his elected job.

Even if the data were true all it would show is that a bunch of nursing homes have already voted by mail....lol whats that prove? Just shows the folks in nursing homes like to stay busy. You see many old folks in nursing homes still have the social and racial hang ups of the 1950s...Of course they will vote for the white guy.....The pole dont prove squat..
When was the last time you were in a nursing home? Many are lucky if they still remember their name.

Tell that to the African Americans in N.C. where they have record turnout. Already 440k have voted...
Summers,
It's going to be razor thin in N.C., the dems registered more people in the run up to the election than the pubs did and right now are getting these people out to vote.
Some highlights...
30% of African Americans in North Carolina age 18+ have already voted.
That's 440,941 voters - 30% of North Carolina's entire 1,480,769 person African American voting age population counted by the Census Bureau in 2010.
That's not 30% of African American registered voters. That's 30% of all African American adults. Because, for one more week in North Carolina, you can register to vote and actually cast your ballot at the same time, all in one stop. So even if a would-be voter is not registered to vote right now, they can still register and vote.
So far, African American turnout is up from 357,160 to 440,941 votes, a 23.5% increase over this same time in 2008.
