most who think will vote independent. this election will change nothing. life will go on as usual. the only change I see is the embarrassing number of people voting for neither candidate.

Well, I am a registered Democrat who will be voting for McCain, I am certain there are many others.
Also, isn't it illegal to tabulate and release voting results prior to election day?
Those aren't results, they're just the party affilations of voters, not who they voted for.
I'm not sure if the Democrats are frothing at the mouths as much as voting on the weekend because its much more convenient that having to vote on a Tuesday night. Who wants to come home after a long day at work, make dinner, clean up, and then have to go back out again and wait in line for an hour?

Predictions are not results. I, for one, will not say unkind things to or about you for thinking and believeing differently than I do, but I do hope that if our next president is Obama, that you will be open-minded enough to see what happens before predicting the downfall of the American Way!
Early voting started last thursday and as of today 543,004 people have voted early so far. 306,493 of them were democrats and 147,276 were republicans. These numbers are very frightening for the McCain campaign because there are not just poll numbers, these are actual votes! and so far Obama leads the Tarheel State in actual votes by a big margin! If this is any indication for November 4th, North Carolina will go blue for the first time since 1976. If North Carolina goes blue, you know Virginia will go blue. Obama already leads by 10 points in Virginia and it will go blue for the first time since 1964.
You just called us McCain voters uninformed and unintelligent a few posts back....
do you doubt that some republican voters (and no doubt, some democratic voters, as well) are both uninformed and / or unintelligent? I just had a discussion with a co-worker, this morning, who told me that, he doesn't follow news sources, but is convinced that Ms. Palin is just as competent to lead our country as Mr. Obama is! For me, this is "mind boggleing undereducation". . . . Mr Obama is an expert in constitutional law, Ms. Palin does not know what the job of the V.P. is!
I think that this is horrible news for obama. his supporters are very cult like and excitable. they couldn't wait to get out and vote. mccain doesn't have any excitement to his campaign. if a 2 to 1 margin is all obama can do as of now, I think he's going to be in trouble. at least in this state. what I like about the numbers you posted, is that almost 100,000 people voted for neither candidate. people in NC are making a statement that these two candidates are horrible. eventually washington will learn.
FWIW, did you see the news story last night how Wake County will likely decide which way NC goes? That is good news for Obama!
