28% of early voting Republican voters in Florida have voted for HRC

Per TargetSmart/William & Mary spokesperson live on O'Donnell show.

HRC has 8% lead.

If she wins Florida, she wins the presidency.

Now reflect on this. It says that REPUBLICANS think enough of voting AGAINST Trump that they went out and did it early. They went out and did it with the normally enthusiastic party loyalists in both camps. The trend is less spectacular down ballot. These voters are splitting tickets.

Full report to be published tomorrow.

since Florida usually skews right by around 3%
if this analysis holds up to scrutiny, the tsunami is coming and there will be down-ballot repercussions

My sense is that most or all states keep track of the number of absentee ballots coming in, and how many are submitted from each party, but I didn't think they'd actually count the votes before election day.

on just Donald the flawed human and on her own record. I can see that as a valid campaign strategy, but for my satisfaction and for down ballot races I think dems could have done a much more effective job ridiculing the gop and their horrendous record of obstructionism, failed policies, lies, polarizing rhetoric, lack of interest in governing, etc.

gop should be shamed, not only about the Trump nomination but for 40 years of deception.
