Early Voting Numbers Look Good for Democrats


More than 20 percent of the nearly three million votes already tabulated in Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa have come from people who did not vote in the last midterm election, according to an analysis of early-voting data by The Upshot.

a colleague here in Colorado that Democrats Udall will win over Gardner, Hickenlooper will win over Beauprez, and Romanoff will defeat Coffman. He took the Republicans, and we're going two out of three. The loser treats the winner to a nice lunch.

It will be interesting to see the result. I have seen an article by the corporate-owned media that say women feel insulted by all the ads against Gardner, Beauprez and Coffman that talk about their stance on birth control and abortion. This article may well be off base. I don't think women are insulted at all. If women vote like I think they will, even in the very red rural portions of the state, all the Dems ought to carry.
